Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana Part 1 is showing encouraging signs at the box office after its theatrical release on November 5. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, the mythological epic arrived in cinemas amid enormous expectations. While its opening-day performance remained below the trade expectations, the film has managed to maintain a healthy overall total during its initial two days.
The pre-Diwali period has affected the film’s business, particularly in the Hindi market. However, the evening shows on Friday reportedly performed better than expected. The film has also benefited from its strong overseas contribution, giving it a substantial worldwide total early in its theatrical run.

Ramayana Part 1 Language Wise Box Office Collection
The Hindi version remains the biggest contributor. It collected ₹35.50 crore net on Friday, taking its two-day total to ₹83 crore. The Kannada version has accumulated ₹12.40 crore, followed by Telugu with ₹10.75 crore. Tamil and Malayalam have contributed ₹4.10 crore and ₹2.65 crore, respectively.
| Language | Day 1 | Day 2 | Total (2 Days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hindi | ₹47.50 Crore | ₹35.50 Crore | ₹83.00 Crore |
| Kannada | ₹7.25 Crore | ₹5.15 Crore | ₹12.40 Crore |
| Telugu | ₹6.00 Crore | ₹4.75 Crore | ₹10.75 Crore |

| Malayalam | ₹1.50 Crore | ₹1.15 Crore | ₹2.65 Crore |
| Total | ₹64.85 Crore | ₹48.05 Crore | ₹112.90 Crore |
The film has been screened across 48,516 shows in India over its first two days. Its overall performance suggests that the second-day decline has not derailed its initial box office momentum, although the upcoming holiday period will determine how strongly it can recover.
| Market | Collection (2 Days) |
|---|---|
| India Net | ₹112.90 Crore |
| India Gross | ₹134.80 Crore |
| Overseas Gross | ₹86.25 Crore |
| Worldwide Gross | ₹221.05 Crore |
The worldwide gross collection has now reached ₹221.05 crore. Overseas markets account for approximately 39% of the worldwide total, highlighting the film’s strong international contribution.
The Hindi version has witnessed a noticeable decline on Friday. However, the pre-Diwali period was always expected to affect theatrical business to some extent. Audiences are occupied with festive preparations, shopping and family commitments, which can influence cinema footfalls during this period.
Despite the drop, the evening shows registered a better trend than expected. The Hindi version has accumulated ₹83 crore net in two days. While the Friday numbers are lower than Thursday, the film has maintained a substantial lead over its other language versions. The coming weekend will be important for the Hindi market. A stronger Saturday could help compensate for the Friday decline, while the holiday period from Monday onwards could provide another opportunity for growth.
Ramayana Part 1 Overtakes Adipurush
Ramayana Part 1 had opened below Om Raut’s Adipurush, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan. However, the latest two-day performance has helped the new adaptation move ahead of the previous film in the comparison reported by trade sources.
The comparison is significant because both films are large-scale adaptations of the Ramayana, with considerable expectations surrounding their theatrical releases. Adipurush had generated substantial anticipation before its release but faced criticism after arriving in cinemas.
Ramayana Part 1 has also received mixed reviews, although its visual scale and performances have generated considerable discussion. Its ability to maintain audience interest over the weekend will be important in establishing a stronger theatrical trend.
Saturday And Sunday Hold The Key
The weekend is particularly important for Ramayana Part 1. Saturday is expected to benefit from the usual weekend growth, as more families and working audiences get time to visit cinemas.
Sunday could also deliver healthy numbers during the daytime. However, the evening business may be affected by Lakshmi Puja and the associated festive celebrations. This makes the daytime performance particularly important for the film.
Monday to Wednesday could prove especially important for the film. As Diwali festivities begin, the holiday period is expected to provide more opportunities for audiences to visit cinemas. The next three days will therefore provide a clearer picture of its box office prospects. A strong weekend followed by a holiday boost could help the film establish a much better trend.

Budget, Profit And Verdict
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Ramayana Part 1 Budget | ₹2,000 Crore (Reported) |
| Combined Budget (Both Parts) | ₹4,000 Crore (Reported) |
| Worldwide Gross (2 Days) | ₹221.05 Crore |
| Verdict | Loading… |
Namit Malhotra is associated with the production of the ambitious project. The reported production budget of the first instalment is ₹2,000 crore, while the combined budget of both parts is estimated at ₹4,000 crore. Its worldwide performance over the first two days is encouraging, but the film will need sustained business across India and overseas markets to deliver the desired commercial returns.
The extended Diwali period will be an important test. Its final verdict will depend on the lifetime theatrical collection and the actual recovery against the reported production cost.
Final Verdict
Ramayana Part 1 has maintained a substantial two-day total despite a Friday decline, with overseas markets providing an important boost. The pre-Diwali period has affected its business, but better evening trends and the upcoming holiday window offer reasons for optimism. Saturday and Sunday will be crucial, while Monday to Wednesday could bring a significant turnaround. The film now needs strong audience support to convert its promising worldwide start into a sustained box office run.
