Ramayana: Part One has crossed ₹1,000 crore at the worldwide box office, reaching ₹1,033.55 crore in just eight days to become the third-fastest Indian film ever to join the ₹1,000-crore club. The Nitesh Tiwari epic, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, hit the milestone on Thursday, November 12, its eighth day in theatres.
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film collected ₹53.50 crore net in India on Thursday — down about 24 percent on Wednesday’s ₹70.65 crore, but still a strong weekday hold. The eight-day totals now stand at ₹564.60 crore net in India, ₹675.05 crore gross in India, and ₹358.50 crore from overseas markets, where Thursday added another ₹25 crore. The Hindi version led the domestic performance with ₹43 crore net on Thursday across 19,464 shows.
Third-fastest ever to the milestone
Only Pushpa 2 and Dhurandhar 2 have ever reached ₹1,000 crore faster, and Ramayana is just the 11th Indian film to enter the club at all. It is also the first ₹1,000-crore film of Ranbir Kapoor’s career, and it has already passed the lifetime worldwide totals of his own Animal and the Stree 2 juggernaut. The film is now closing in on Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which earned about ₹1,055 crore worldwide — a gap of roughly ₹21.45 crore that Friday’s collections could wipe out.
The road to Pathaan — and beyond
The next milestone is already in sight: Pathaan’s lifetime worldwide total of about ₹1,055 crore sits just ₹21.45 crore away, a gap Friday’s collections could wipe out entirely. Beyond that, the rollout keeps expanding — Brazil, Italy, Ukraine and Hungary open on November 19, with a China release still to come — and the second instalment is already dated for Diwali 2028. If the second week holds anything like the first, Ramayana will not just pass Pathaan; it will leave it well behind.
The rollout is still expanding, with new markets opening through November and a China release still to come, and the second instalment is already dated for Diwali 2028. The numbers are historic, but the trade is watching the other side of the ledger too: with a reported production budget of ₹1,600 crore across both parts, the break-even figure on a worldwide gross basis is reported at around ₹1,650 crore — and at ₹1,033.55 crore, the first chapter is about 63 percent of the way there. Ramayana day 6 took Rs 94 crore on Tuesday as the India total passed Rs 440 crore, and Ramayana opened in Indonesia today as its global rollout continues.
