Ramayana worldwide box office collection day 6: Back-to-back ₹150-crore days lift Ranbir Kapoor, Yash film past ₹800 crore; beats PK, Chhaava lifetime
Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
After the best Monday in Indian cinema history, Ramayana followed it up with the best Tuesday ever: another red-letter day where the movie collected close to ₹ 100 crore rupees net in India and over ₹ 160 crore rupees gross worldwide. This has propelled the Nitesh Tiwari movie close to the ₹ 1000-crore rupees mark worldwide, and it has not even completed a full week at the ticket-window yet.
Adding to this, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Ramayana worldwide ticket-window update The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash -starrer opened to great reviews on Thursday, with initial audience reactions largely positive. However, the ticket-window receipts were underwhelming for a movie of this scale and ambitions. For a movie as per reports budgeted at ₹ 1600-2000 crore rupees, an opening weekend of ₹ 507 crore rupees was slightly below par.
Meanwhile, But Ramayana turned it around in the post-Diwali break. Making use of the Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj breaks, the movie returned extraordinary figures on Monday and Tuesday, easily moving past the ₹ 800 crore rupees mark worldwide and gaining much-needed momentum both in the domestic market and overseas.
Notably, On Tuesday, Ramayana collected a staggering ₹ 94 crore rupees net in India, obliterating Baahubali 2’s ₹ 59 crore rupees record by a wide margin. The movie saw several houseful shows across India and recorded occupancy figures exceeding 80% for all night shows nationwide. This comes after the movie collected ₹ 107 crore rupees net on Monday, giving it a combined ₹ 200 crore rupees domestic haul after its four-day opening weekend. After six days in theatres, Ramayana has now collected ₹ 440 crore rupees net ( ₹ 526 crore rupees gross) at the Indian ticket-window.

In further updates, The issue with Ramayana was 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. But here, too, the tide turned on Monday and continued to turn on Tuesday. In the US, Ramayana bridged the gap with Godzilla Minus Zero, despite playing in less than half the screens. It is estimated to have made close to $3 million in the US across both days, not far behind Minus Zero’s $4 million haul in the same period. As of now, Ramayana has collected $31.7 million in the overseas markets. This takes the movie’s worldwide gross to ₹ 823 crore rupees after six days.
On top of that, It seems absurd now that just a few days ago, Ramayana was lagging behind Adipurush in daily earnings. Now, it is surpassing the lifetime earnings of all-time blockbusters with each passing day. On Monday, the movie beat SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali The Beginning ( ₹ 650 crore rupees). On Tuesday, as another record-breaking day saw it surpass the ₹ 700-crore rupees and ₹ 800-crore rupees marks, Ramayana also moved past the final collections of huge hits like Rajinikanth’s 2.0 ( ₹ 691 crore rupees), Aamir Khan’s PK ( ₹ 769 crore rupees), and Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava ( ₹ 807 crore rupees).
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 is running in theatres, while the second part is set for a Diwali 2028 rollout.
