NEW DELHI: Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Rise of a Legend continued its strong box-office run as it entered its second weekend, crossing ₹1,100 crore in worldwide gross collections within nine days of release.
The film earned an estimated ₹47.85 crore net in India on its ninth day, Friday, November 13, taking its cumulative domestic net collection to ₹612.45 crore, according to trade estimates reported by Sacnilk. Its India gross collection stood at ₹732.20 crore, while overseas earnings reached ₹378.50 crore. The worldwide gross stood at ₹1,110.70 crore.
The film had crossed the ₹1,000-crore worldwide mark within eight days of release, joining a select group of Indian films to achieve the milestone.
Advance bookings for its second Saturday also indicated continued audience interest. Bollywood Hungama reported on Friday that the film had recorded ₹19.16 crore in net advance sales across languages and formats, with 5.72 lakh tickets sold across 19,137 shows. The 3D format accounted for ₹15.07 crore, or 78.65 per cent of the advance-booking total.
The film’s overseas performance has also drawn attention, particularly in Asian markets where the Ramayana has a longstanding cultural presence. It reportedly recorded a record opening for an Indian film in Indonesia, earning around $100,000 on its opening day. In Cambodia, it registered an opening weekend of approximately $150,000, also reported as a record for an Indian film in the country.
In Nepal, the film earned around NPR 12.80 crore during its extended opening week, surpassing the lifetime collections of several major Indian releases, including RRR, Pathaan and Jawan. It has also crossed $350,000 in Vietnam, a market where Indian films have traditionally had a limited box-office presence. In Thailand, where the Ramayana has a local cultural adaptation known as the Ramakien, the film has reportedly earned more than ₹5 crore.
Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, the film is the first instalment of a two-part adaptation. The second part is scheduled for release during Diwali 2028.
