With the ₹500-crore club now in sight at the worldwide level, 'Ramayana' is now the second-best opening-weekend performer at the box office, in terms of the India net haul for Bollywood films.

Ending its impressive Diwali-weekend run, Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Rise of a Legend on Sunday grossed ₹499.20 crore worldwide at the end of day four of screenings. 

Despite the ₹500-crore club now in sight at the worldwide level, the Ranbir Kapoor-Yash film slowed down a little in India, collecting ₹56.15 crore in India net earnings across 21,719 shows on day four, as per box office tracker Sacnilk. 

The Hindi screenings ruled the roost, contributing ₹36.75 crore across 17,714 shows. ₹7.25 crore came from 910 shows in Kannada, ₹6.25 crore from 1,620 shows in Telugu, and ₹3.15 crore from 755 Tamil shows, while 720 Malayalam screenings added ₹2.75 crore to the India net haul.

This pushed the film's total India gross collection to ₹285.20 crore, while total India net collection reached ₹238.85 crore.

Overseas gross for day four stood at ₹45 crore, which led to the total overseas gross reaching ₹214 crore just days before the film is slated to release in Hong Kong on November 12.

The report also estimates 23.53 lakh tickets were sold for Ramayana on day four, which brings the total number of tickets sold so far to about 93.41 lakh.

Ramayana also has the second-best opening-weekend performance for a Bollywood film in recent times—in terms of India net earnings—putting it just below Ranveer Singh's blockbuster Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, which earned ₹290.94 crore.

Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan comes in a distant third with ₹186.58 crore, while Animal and Drishyam 3: The Conclusion came in fourth and fifth, with ₹176.58 crore and ₹176.50 crore India net earnings, respectively.

Also, on its third day in cinemas, Ramayana collected ₹69.80 crore in India net earnings across 23,696 shows, which had taken its total India net haul at the time to ₹182.70 crore, while its total India gross earnings then came to ₹218.25 crore. 

With total overseas gross that day reaching ₹169.00 crore, worldwide gross collection had touched ₹387.25 crore on day three—within sight of the ₹400-crore club.
