Ramayana: Part One arrives in Indonesia on Wednesday, November 11, as the film’s global rollout continues into its second week. The Indonesian opening follows number-one finishes in Australia, the UK and Ireland, and a fourth-place finish in North America, where the film took $8.94 million in its opening weekend, according to final figures reported earlier this week.
Hong Kong, Mexico and Central Asia follow on Thursday, November 12, according to trade reports. The staggered rollout is deliberate: the film opened in India on November 5, a day after its Australian debut, and has been adding markets as its opening-weekend momentum builds.
A global opening built in stages
The film’s worldwide opening stood at $55.7 million, according to studio reports, behind Godzilla Minus Zero’s $63 million global debut. But Ramayana’s international total has grown steadily since, with the film passing Rs 823.50 crore worldwide gross in six days, according to Sacnilk, though other trackers put the figure lower.
Indonesia is a significant market for Indian cinema, with a large and growing audience for Hindi films. The film’s producers will be watching whether the Indonesian opening matches the Australian pattern, where the film sold about 117,000 tickets and topped the chart ahead of Godzilla Minus Zero.
What comes next
The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, is the first part of a two-part adaptation, with the second part planned for Diwali 2027. Its domestic run in India remains the core of its business, with six-day India net collections reported between Rs 423 crore and Rs 440 crore depending on the tracker.
The overseas expansion matters because it extends the film’s life beyond the Indian market. Hong Kong and Mexico open on Thursday, and Central Asia follows the same day. Each new market adds to a worldwide total that is already among the biggest ever for an Indian film, and the staggered schedule keeps the film in the headlines through its second weekend.
