Ramayana worldwide box office collection day 5: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash film crosses ₹660 crore after manic Monday; beats Baahubali, Jailer lifetime hauls
Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has finally had that red-letter day that a movie of that scale should have. On Monday, its fifth day in theatres, the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer became the second Hindi movie to net over ₹ 100 crore rupees at the domestic ticket-window in a single day. Add to that an impressive showing overseas, and Ramayana had a manic Monday, enabling it to get back on track in recovering its costs.
Adding to this, Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama in the movie Ramayana Ramayana worldwide ticket-window update The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer opened to great reviews on Thursday, with initial audience reactions largely positive. Yet that did not drive footfall momentum very strongly. The movie collected ₹ 128 crore rupees worldwide on its rollout day. By the end of its extended four-day opening weekend, the movie had reached ₹ 500 crore rupees worldwide. However, for a movie as per reports budgeted at ₹ 1600-2000 crore rupees, this was a slightly underwhelming figure. That changed on Monday. The post-Diwali break in India meant that Ramayana saw a breakneck pace of ticket sales. It raked in ₹ 107.50 crore rupees net in India on the day. The highest ever by a movie not named Dhurandhar: The Revenge. As word of mouth lifted Ramayana on Monday, it registered its biggest day and Bollywood’s biggest Monday ever. This enabled it to reach ₹ 346 crore rupees net ( ₹ 413 crore rupees gross) domestically.
Meanwhile, The issue with Ramayana has been its overseas earnings. Sony Pictures distributed the movie internationally, giving it a rollout in 59,000 screens worldwide, almost six times the size of any big Indian rollout. Yet the movie opened to $12.2 million in North America and barely crossed $11 million in other markets. On Monday, with no Diwali off outside India, the movie faced a minor drop in earnings. It has now collected $26.7 million in overseas territories, a steadily rising figure.
Notably, This takes Ramayana’s worldwide gross to ₹ 663 crore rupees after five days. With the Bhai Dooj holiday on Tuesday, the movie could see another bumper day in India.
As per the latest buzz, Ramayana had been lagging behind Adipurush for its first three days before easily overtaking it on Diwali. On Monday, as it added a staggering ₹ 156 crore rupees worldwide, Ramayana entered the list of the 25 highest-grossing Indian films ever. It climbed 13 spots in a single day, overtaking some all-time blockbusters such as Rajinikanth’s Jailer ( ₹ 605 crore rupees), Salman Khan’s Sultan ( ₹ 621 crore rupees), and SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali The Beginning ( ₹ 650 crore rupees).
In further updates, Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is the first of a two-part movie. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The first part rolled out worldwide on November 5, 2026, while the second part is set for Diwali 2028.
