According to the latest reports, Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana's stellar box office run resumes unchallenged as the epic mythological thriller's domestic collection stands at ₹440.45 crore (net) and ₹526.50 crore (gross) in India.
Box office record-tracking platforms confirmed that on day five, Ramayana broke into the top five highest Hindi single-day (net) earnings before managing to become the fastest film to reach ₹300 crore in India in Hindi net collections. Interestingly, it beat Ranbir Kapoor's Animal (2023) and Shah Rukh Khan's comeback hit Pathaan (2023) to reach the milestone. It matched Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, which minted ₹306.58 crore in Hindi net collections within six days of its release, NDTV said in a report.
Here are some more records that Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana managed to break within one week of its theatrical release:
The film recorded the highest-ever single-day Bollywood ticket sales on BookMyShow (BMS), with 16.60 lakh tickets sold. According to Sacnilk, it also registered the highest-ever first-Monday ticket sales, again with 16.60 lakh tickets, and set a record for hourly ticket sales, crossing 1.40 lakh tickets.
Ramayana has reportedly recorded the biggest worldwide IMAX opening for an Indian film, earning approximately $6 million (approx. ₹56.25 crore), and the biggest IMAX opening in India for an Indian film, earning around $2 million (approx. ₹18.75 crore).
The Hindu epic's adaptation has become the second Bollywood film to earn ₹100 crore net in India in a single day and jointly the second-fastest Bollywood film to reach the ₹300 crore net collection milestone, achieving it in five days. It also became the sixth Indian film to record four consecutive days of more than one million ticket sales on BookMyShow, Sacnilk said.
The movie's opening-weekend ticket sales ranked third among Hindi films, with 54.76 lakh tickets sold, including advance bookings. With an individual Hindi net collection of ₹87.25 crore, it ranked as the fourth-highest single-day collection.
The film traces the journey of Rama (Ranbir Kapoor), from his birth and marriage to Sita (Sai Pallavi) to his exile from Ayodhya, and leads up to Ravana's (Yash) abduction of Sita. The first instalment concludes with Rama vowing to rescue her, setting the stage for the conflict that will unfold in the second part.
The second part will officially introduce Lord Hanuman, who will be played by veteran star Sunny Deol. It is scheduled for release during Diwali 2028.
The cinematic adaptation features music by Oscar-winning composers A R Rahman and Hans Zimmer, while the action choreography is led by Terry Notary and Guy Norris.
