Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana rolled out in theatres on November 5. The movie did great business on its opening day, setting a new record for a pre-Diwali rollout in India. However, the collections hit a dip on the second day, given it was a non-holiday and right before the weekend. The movie is expected to pick up pace on Saturday ahead of Diwali and recover during the weekend. It remains to be seen how Ramayana fares in its first weekend, so let us take a detailed look at the ticket-window performance so far.
Adding to this, Ranbir Kapoor is portraying Lord Rama in the movie Ramayana. Ramayana ticket-window update Advance bookings for Ramayana opened on Dussehra, 15 days before rollout. By the time of its rollout, the movie had already sold tickets worth ₹ 200 crore rupees worldwide. The movie went on to collect ₹ 64.85 crore rupees in India on its first day of rollout, becoming the fourth-highest opening in Bollywood history. Friday saw a dip, and the movie collected only ₹ 48.05 crore rupees. Despite Yash ’s presence as Ravana, the Kannada version has started extremely slowly.

Meanwhile, By 10 PM on day 3, the movie had collected ₹ 69.80 crore rupees net in India, taking its three-day haul to ₹ 182.70 crore rupees , according to the trade website Sacnilk.
