Ramayana has crossed the Rs 200 crore mark worldwide within its first two days at the box office. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, and Ravi Dubey in pivotal roles. After a worldwide opening of Rs 127.50 crore, the movie collected Rs 48.05 crore in India net on its second day across 23,316 shows.

Collections

Industry tracker Sacnilk reports that the film's total India net collection now stands at Rs 112.90 crore, while the worldwide gross collection has reached Rs 221.05 crore. The Hindi version drove most of the earnings on day two by bringing in Rs 35.50 crore from 19,859 shows. The Kannada version followed with Rs 5.15 crore from 904 shows, and the Telugu version added Rs 4.75 crore from 1,530 shows. Tamil and Malayalam versions earned Rs 1.50 crore and Rs 1.15 crore, respectively. For 3D shows, the Hindi version recorded an overall occupancy of 28.46 percent, compared to 23.37 percent for 2D.

Production

Produced by DNEG's Namit Malhotra, the two-part epic holds a reported combined budget of Rs 4,000 crore. The first part ends shortly after Sita Haran and the death of Jatayu, leaving Ram to vow that he will find Sita at any cost and setting up the battle for the second instalment. Despite a drop of over 25 percent on its second day, the film continues its run during the Diwali holiday period.

Context

Major holiday periods like Diwali traditionally see high box office activity in India as families head to theatres in large numbers. High-budget epic films often rely on these extended festive weekends to build early momentum across multiple regional language versions.
