Ramayana worldwide box office collection day 8: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash's juggernaut sails past ₹1000 crore; outpaces RRR, KGF 2, Jawan
Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana may have lost the festive momentum at the ticket-window, but the movie refuses to slow down even on weekdays. On Thursday, its final day during its extended week, the movie again crossed ₹ 50 crore rupees net in India and barely missed the ₹ 100-crore rupees mark worldwide. It did, however, cross the ₹ 1000 crore rupees mark at the global ticket-window.
Adding to this, Ramayana stars Yash as Ravana alongside Ranbir Kapoor as Rama. Ramayana worldwide ticket-window update The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash -starrer had seven consecutive days where it grossed over ₹ 100 crore rupees worldwide. That run came to an end on Thursday. But by no means was the day disappointing for the movie. Ramayana collected a staggering ₹ 53.50 crore rupees in net ticket-window in India on the day. The movie set new records for the best Monday and Tuesday in Indian cinema history earlier this week, before closing out the week strongly as well. After eight days, Ramayana’s domestic haul now stands at ₹ 564 crore rupees net ( ₹ 675 crore rupees gross).
Meanwhile, 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. But the opening weekend saw returns of less than $25 million. But here, too, the tide turned after Monday as the movie maximised its earnings on weekdays. As of now, Ramayana has collected $38 million in the overseas markets. This takes the movie’s worldwide gross to ₹ 1033 crore rupees after eight days. On Thursday, Ramayana became the 11th Indian movie to enter the 1000-crore rupees club and the third-fastest overall.
Notably, Ramayana reached ₹ 1000 crore rupees in just eight days. This is bettered only by Pushpa 2: The Rule and Dhurandhar: The Revenge, both of which reached the mark in seven days. Ramayana beat the pace set by Baahubali 2 (10 days), RRR (16 days) and KGF Chapter 2 (18 days). It was also way ahead of the pace of Shah Rukh Khan’s two 1000-crore rupees hits - Jawan (18 days) and Pathaan (27 days).
As per the latest buzz, 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.
