Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana may have lost the festive momentum at the box office, but the film refuses to slow down even on weekdays. On Thursday, its final day during its extended week, the film again crossed ₹50 crore net in India and barely missed the ₹100-crore mark worldwide. It did, however, cross the ₹1000 crore mark at the global box office.
Ramayana worldwide box office update
The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer had seven consecutive days where it grossed over ₹100 crore worldwide. That run came to an end on Thursday. But by no means was the day disappointing for the film. Ramayana earned a staggering ₹53.50 crore in net box office in India on the day. The film set new records for the best Monday and Tuesday in Indian cinema history earlier this week, before closing out the week strongly as well. After eight days, Ramayana’s domestic haul now stands at ₹564 crore net ( ₹675 crore gross).
The issue with Ramayana was its overseas earnings. Sony Pictures distributed the film internationally, giving it a release in 59,000 screens worldwide, almost six times the size of any big Indian release. But the opening weekend saw returns of less than $25 million. But here, too, the tide turned after Monday as the film maximised its earnings on weekdays. As of now, Ramayana has earned $38 million in the overseas markets. This takes the film’s worldwide gross to ₹1033 crore after eight days. On Thursday, Ramayana became the 11th Indian film to enter the 1000-crore club and the third-fastest overall.
