The box office journey of Ramayana: Part I continues to attract attention as the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer crosses the ₹500 crore milestone in India. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the mythological epic has collected ₹539.63 crore nett across all languages in its first eight days, according to figures reported by Bollywood Hungama.
The film earned ₹49.43 crore nett on Thursday, November 12, its eighth day in theatres. Although the collection remained substantial, it registered a decline of approximately 25.94% compared with Wednesday's earnings of ₹66.74 crore.
The drop comes after an extended festive period that helped the film maintain strong theatrical business during its opening week. Nevertheless, the film's cumulative collection has crossed another major milestone, strengthening its position among the biggest Indian releases of 2026.
Ramayana Collects ₹49.43 Crore on Day 8
According to Bollywood Hungama's box office report, Ramayana: Part I earned ₹49.43 crore nett across five languages on Thursday.
The film had collected ₹66.74 crore on Wednesday, November 11. The Day 8 figure therefore represents a decline of around 25.94%.
Despite the reduction, the film continued to attract audiences across multiple language markets. Its performance demonstrates the contribution of the Hindi version as well as the film's regional-language releases.
With eight days of theatrical business completed, the film's reported India nett collection stands at ₹539.63 crore. It has comfortably crossed the ₹500 crore mark, making its first week an important commercial milestone.
The film's performance after the opening weekend has also been significant. Bollywood Hungama reported that the four days following the extended opening weekend contributed ₹309.31 crore, compared with ₹230.32 crore collected between Thursday and Sunday.
This means that the post-opening-weekend period accounted for approximately 57% of the film's eight-day domestic nett business.
Hindi Version Remains the Biggest Contributor
The Hindi version continues to be the biggest contributor to Ramayana's box office performance.
On Day 8, the Hindi version collected ₹40.41 crore nett, accounting for approximately 81.75% of the film's total Thursday earnings.
The Hindi collection declined by around 27.76% compared with Wednesday's ₹55.94 crore. Despite this fall, the language version has maintained a commanding position in the film's overall domestic business.
Its cumulative eight-day collection has reached ₹422.42 crore nett. This represents approximately 78.28% of the film's reported nationwide earnings.
The figures underline the importance of the Hindi market to the film's commercial performance, even as its dubbed versions continue to attract audiences in other regions.
Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil Box Office Collection
The film's regional-language versions have also contributed to its overall earnings.
According to Bollywood Hungama, the Kannada version collected ₹2.86 crore nett on Thursday. Although it remained the strongest contributor among the South Indian language versions that day, its collection declined by approximately 26.67% compared with Wednesday's ₹3.90 crore.
The Malayalam version delivered a different trend. It collected ₹2.45 crore nett on Day 8, slightly higher than Wednesday's ₹2.39 crore. The increase of approximately 2.51% made Malayalam the only language version to register growth on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Telugu version earned ₹1.89 crore nett, recording a decline of around 17.83%. The Tamil version collected ₹1.82 crore nett, down approximately 17.65% from the previous day.
The Malayalam version's performance is particularly noteworthy because it maintained collections around ₹2.40 crore for four consecutive days, according to the report.

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash Lead Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana
Ramayana: Part I features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The ensemble cast also includes Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Arun Govil as King Dasharath and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the film is envisioned as the first instalment of a two-part cinematic adaptation of the Indian epic.
The story follows the early life of Lord Ram, his marriage to Sita and his exile from Ayodhya, eventually leading to Ravana's abduction of Sita. The first instalment sets the stage for the larger conflict that will unfold in the second part.
The film has attracted attention for its large-scale production, international technical collaboration and extensive cast. Its music features A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, while the action sequences involve international stunt and action specialists.
Box Office Estimates Differ Across Tracking Platforms
While Bollywood Hungama has reported an eight-day India nett collection of ₹539.63 crore, other box office tracking platforms have published different estimates.
Sacnilk, for example, reported a Day 8 India nett collection of ₹53.50 crore and an eight-day cumulative total of ₹564.60 crore. NDTV Profit and The Indian Express also reported figures based on this higher estimate.
Such differences are not unusual in box office reporting, as tracking platforms can use different estimates and collection methodologies. Therefore, the ₹539.63 crore figure in this report is specifically attributed to Bollywood Hungama rather than presented as a universally agreed total.
With its first eight days completed, Ramayana: Part I has already crossed the ₹500 crore domestic nett milestone. Its performance over the second weekend will now be important in determining how strongly it sustains its theatrical run.
