Ramayana box office collection day 7: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash film remains unstoppable even after festive break, mints ₹70 crore to race past ₹500 crore
Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
Ramayana created mayhem in the first two days after its opening weekend, raking in over ₹ 200 crore rupees net at the Indian ticket-window. The Nitesh Tiwari movie made full use of the post-Diwali holidays to maximise its box-office collections. Now, on Wednesday, the movie faced its first major test after working days began post the holiday. And the epic passed with flying colours, refusing to lose any momentum and still maintaining its grip at the ticket window.
Adding to this, Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama in Ramayana. Ramayana ticket-window update Ramayana began with a ₹ 64.85 crore rupees opening day, a low figure given the movie’s scale. It then fell slightly before recovering, ending its opening weekend at ₹ 239 crore rupees net in India. Then came Monday and Tuesday, when the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer shattered all-time collection records. The movie collected ₹ 107 crore rupees net on Monday and ₹ 94 crore rupees net on Tuesday, both the highest in Indian cinema history.
Meanwhile, But while Ramayana had the advantage of Govardhan Pooja and Bhai Dooj on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, Wednesday offered no such respite. Yet, the movie has maintained an impressive pace at the ticket-window. On Wednesday, Ramayana collected ₹ 70.65 crore rupees net in India, taking its domestic haul to ₹ 511 crore rupees .
Notably, Initially, the surge was driven largely by the Hindi version of the movie, but now the dubbed versions have begun to pay off. Ramayana has crossed ₹ 100 crore rupees in net earnings across its four dubbed versions in India, becoming the first Hindi movie to do so.
As per the latest buzz, Ramayana entered the elite 500-crore rupees club on Wednesday. No Hindi movie had breached the mark until Pathaan did so three years ago. And now, Ramayana is set to reach the milestone in its opening week. This is a remarkable pace, one that the movie would need to sustain if it wants to break even with its reported ₹ 1600 crore rupees budget.
In further updates, On Thursday, Ramayana will look to surpass the lifetime domestic collections of big-budget blockbusters such as Gadar 2, Pathaan, and Animal.
On top of that, Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is the first part of a duology. 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 rollout on Diwali 2028.
