Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's much-anticipated film Ramayana: Part One is enjoying a strong opening weekend at the box office. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the mythological drama has crossed the ₹375 crore mark in worldwide gross collections within just three days of its theatrical release. After experiencing a decline on its second day, the film witnessed a significant recovery on Saturday, November 7, with collections rising across domestic markets.
According to trade estimates reported by The Indian Express and Sacnilk, Ramayana: Part One collected ₹69.80 crore net in India on its third day. This took its three-day domestic net collection to ₹182.70 crore. Including taxes, the film's cumulative domestic gross stood at approximately ₹218.25 crore.
The film's overseas performance also contributed substantially to its opening weekend total. Its worldwide gross reached an estimated ₹375.50 crore after three days, putting the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer among the biggest opening-weekend performers of the year.
Ramayana Box Office Collection Day 3
Saturday proved to be the strongest day for Ramayana: Part One since its release. The film earned ₹69.80 crore net across 23,696 shows in India, registering an overall theatre occupancy of 41.3 per cent.
The Saturday collection represented an increase of approximately 45.3 per cent compared with Friday's earnings of ₹48.05 crore. The improvement came during the Diwali weekend, when festive holidays and audience interest helped the film attract more moviegoers.
Here is the reported India net collection for the first three days:
-
Day 1 (November 5): ₹64.85 crore
-
Day 2 (November 6): ₹48.05 crore
-
Day 3 (November 7): ₹69.80 crore
-
Total: ₹182.70 crore
The opening-day performance established a strong foundation for the film. Although collections declined on Friday, the Saturday jump demonstrated renewed momentum. The coming days will be important in determining whether the film can maintain this pace beyond its opening weekend.
Hindi Version Leads the Box Office Collection
The Hindi version has emerged as the biggest contributor to the film's domestic earnings. On Saturday, it collected approximately ₹53 crore net, taking its three-day Hindi total to around ₹136 crore.
The other language versions also contributed to the overall performance. The Kannada version collected ₹6.30 crore on Day 3, while the Telugu version earned approximately ₹6 crore. The Tamil version added ₹2.50 crore, and the Malayalam version contributed ₹2 crore.
The reported language-wise Day 3 figures are:
| Language | Day 3 Collection |
|---|---|
| Hindi | ₹53 crore |
| Kannada | ₹6.30 crore |
| Telugu | ₹6 crore |
| Tamil | ₹2.50 crore |
| Malayalam | ₹2 crore |
| Total | ₹69.80 crore |
These figures indicate that the Hindi market is driving the film's domestic business, while its multilingual release is helping it reach audiences across different regions.
Overseas Business Takes Worldwide Collection Past ₹375 Crore
Apart from its strong domestic performance, Ramayana: Part One has also attracted audiences in international markets. According to the estimates available on November 8, the film earned approximately ₹60 crore in overseas gross on its third day.
Its cumulative overseas gross reached around ₹157.25 crore, taking the worldwide total to approximately ₹375.50 crore.
The overseas contribution is particularly significant because it represents a substantial share of the film's opening-weekend business. The combination of domestic and international collections has helped the film cross the ₹350 crore milestone within three days.
However, box-office figures reported during an ongoing theatrical run are estimates and may vary across trade trackers and subsequent updates. The final figures could change as more collection data becomes available.
Why Ramayana Is Attracting Massive Audience Interest
The film's appeal comes from its scale, familiar mythological story and high-profile cast. Ramayana: Part One brings one of India's most widely known epics to the big screen with an international production approach and extensive visual effects.
Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi portrays Sita. Yash appears as Ravana, and Ravi Dubey plays Lakshman. Sunny Deol portrays Lord Hanuman.
The supporting cast includes Arun Govil as Dasharath, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari, Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha and Vivek Oberoi as Vidyutjihva, among others.
The film has also attracted attention for its technical team. It is produced by Namit Malhotra under Prime Focus Studios, alongside DNEG and Monster Mind Creations. Oscar-winning composers A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer have worked on its music, adding to the international scale of the production.
What Lies Ahead for Ramayana at the Box Office?
After its impressive Saturday performance, the film's next challenge is to sustain audience interest during the remaining festive period and the weekdays that follow.
Its Sunday collections will be closely watched, especially after the strong growth recorded on Saturday. The performance after the Diwali holiday will provide a clearer picture of its long-term box-office potential.
For now, crossing ₹375 crore worldwide in just three days is a major milestone for Ramayana: Part One. With Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash leading the cast, the film has made a strong start. Its ability to maintain this momentum will determine how far it can go in the coming weeks.
The first instalment is part of a planned two-film adaptation of the epic, with the second part expected in 2028. The opening weekend has therefore created considerable anticipation around the film's future and the next chapter of the cinematic adaptation.
