The makers of Ramayana: Rise of a Legend have yet another reason to celebrate on Thursday, as the film crossed the ₹1,000-crore mark in worldwide gross, making it the third-fastest Indian film to ever do so.
The Ranbir Kapoor-Yash film garnered ₹1,033.55 crore on Thursday, day eight of its stellar theatrical run, which puts it just below Pushpa: The Rise - Part 2 and Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, which crossed the ₹1,000-crore mark within their first week, as per box office tracker Sacnilk.
Just below Ramayana on this list stands Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which took about 10-11 days to reach this milestone.
Nitesh Tiwari's film, which also stars Yash, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, and Kajal Aggarwal, among others, is now the 11th Indian film to enter the ₹1,000-crore club worldwide.
The first film to do so had been Aamir Khan's sports drama Dangal with ₹2,070.30 crore in lifetime worldwide haul—it is still the only film on that list to have crossed ₹2,000-crore mark worldwide.
How 'Ramayana' performed on Day 8
On Thursday, it raked in ₹53.50 crore in India net haul across 23,996 shows.
This includes ₹43 crore from 19,423 Hindi shows, ₹3.25 crore from 922 screenings, ₹2.80 crore from 973 Malayalam shows, ₹2.30 crore from 1,783 screenings in Telugu, and ₹2.15 crore from 895 shows in Tamil.
This took its total India net collection to ₹564.60 crore, while its total India gross haul reached ₹675.05 crore.
Also, its overseas collection of ₹25 crore on Thursday pushed its total overseas gross to ₹358.50 crore.
This still puts it ₹79.50 crore away from beating the lifetime overseas haul of Dhurandhar 2. However, Ramayana on Thursday beat the lifetime India net haul of Animal, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor—a day after beating the lifetime overseas collection for not just Animal, but also Dhurandhar and Pushpa 2.
