The epic saga Ramayana: Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has established a landmark box-office milestone by grossing ₹664 crore worldwide within just five days of its theatrical release. Released on November 5, the mythological visual spectacle witnessed an extraordinary surge in viewership, registering an unprecedented India nett collection of ₹107.50 crore on Monday, November 9. According to trade tracker Sacnilk, this fifth-day collection represents a staggering 91.5 percent surge from its fourth-day haul of ₹56.15 crore, securing the film a new industry record for the highest first-Monday earnings by an Indian movie. By surpassing the previous post-Diwali collection record of ₹59.25 crore set by Tiger 3 in 2023, as well as outperforming first-Monday figures of blockbuster hits like Dhurandhar 2 (₹60 crore), Thugs of Hindostan (₹52.25 crore), and Happy New Year (₹44.97 crore), the film has solidified its dominant position in Indian cinema history. Following its sensational Monday momentum, the movie comfortably breached the ₹300-crore milestone domestically, taking its total India nett earnings to ₹346.35 crore and pushing its domestic gross collection to ₹413.90 crore. The original Hindi version generated the primary share of domestic revenue, contributing ₹87.25 crore nett on Monday across nearly 20,000 screenings, while dubbed releases in regional languages added further weight—with the Kannada version gathering ₹7.50 crore, followed by Telugu at ₹6 crore, Tamil at ₹4 crore, and Malayalam at ₹2.75 crore. Beyond domestic borders, international markets played a pivotal role in the venture’s financial success, adding ₹25 crore on Monday to propel its cumulative overseas gross to ₹250 crore. With a global gross standing at ₹663.90 crore, the production now ranks as the third-highest-grossing Indian feature film of 2026, trailing only Dhurandhar: The Revenge (₹1,852 crore gross) and Jailer 2 (₹821 crore gross). Jointly produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, the star-studded cinematic retelling features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, alongside a high-profile supporting cast comprising Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher, Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, Vivek Oberoi, and Kajal Aggarwal. Following the massive success of this inaugural installment, audience anticipation is set to build toward the concluding second part of the franchise, which is officially scheduled to arrive in theaters worldwide during Diwali 2028.
