Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's Ramayana has crossed ₹800 crore worldwide after six days in cinemas. It grossed over ₹160 crore globally on Tuesday, its second straight day at that level.
The ₹507 crore worldwide opening weekend came in below expectations, but the post-Diwali holidays turned things around. In India it earned ₹94 crore net on Tuesday, taking its domestic total to ₹440 crore net.
It has now overtaken the lifetime collections of PK and Chhaava. It is the first part of a two-part film, with the second due for Diwali 2028.
Costume designer Saniya Sardhariya has revealed that Yash's Ravana outfits in Ramayana were very heavy. Most weighed 16 to 20 kg with jewellery, while a few heavy pieces reached 30 to 33 kg.
The crown was the toughest part to design. Even after many mock 3D versions and attempts to lighten it, it still weighed 1.8 kg.
Yash took the long shoot days in stride and amused the crew by turning the sharp parts of his costume into a playful headache for them. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi star in the film, whose first part is scheduled for Diwali 2026.
Ramayana: Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has earned Rs 346.35 crore net in India so far. It is now being measured against Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which took Rs 674.17 crore in its first week.
It opened at Rs 67.85 crore, slipped on its second day, then climbed to Rs 107.50 crore on day five. Analyst Komal Nahta says it could challenge that first-week figure depending on how it holds up, while exhibitor Akshaye Rathi sees real potential for it to top Dhurandhar: The Revenge's lifetime earnings over time.
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has been warmly praising his son-in-law Ranbir Kapoor after seeing Ramayana Part 1, in which Ranbir plays Rama. His wife Soni Razdan shared his reaction on Instagram with a photo of the two at a Diwali party.
Bhatt has said the film moved him to tears on the big screen. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic, which also stars Yash and Sai Pallavi, earned Rs 107 crore on the Monday after Diwali and has passed Rs 500 crore worldwide.
Advance bookings for Ramayana Part I, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, are climbing fast ahead of its fifth day on Monday, November 9. Sales across all languages reached Rs 45.53 crore net by 8:30 PM on Sunday.
That is about 138 percent higher than the Rs 19.11 crore recorded on Saturday afternoon. Roughly 13.15 lakh tickets have now been sold for 22,522 shows.
Maharashtra, Karnataka and the NCR lead the markets for Monday, with Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi the top three cities. Monday could end up being the film's strongest single day in India so far.
Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's Ramayana - Part I collected Rs 62.47 crore across all languages on its opening day, placing it fifth on the all-time list of biggest openings.
It narrowly missed fourth place, trailing Animal's Rs 63.80 crore by Rs 1.33 crore. Dhurandhar The Revenge still leads the chart with Rs 90 crore, followed by Jawan at Rs 75 crore and Pushpa 2 - The Rule at Rs 72 crore.
The film also edged past Drishyam The Conclusion's Rs 62 crore opening by Rs 47 lakh. Its opening weekend numbers will be the next thing to watch.
Ranbir Kapoor's trainer Nam has posted a black-and-white gym photo of the actor mid-workout, hinting that the fitness work is far from finished. Ranbir plays Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, which opened in cinemas on November 5, and the trainer said he is getting ready for the action in Part 2. Early reactions praised the film's scale and visuals, with Yash's Ravana drawing particular attention. The film earned Rs 32.81 crore on its first day, ahead of Dhurandhar's opening.
