Ramayana is about to enter the top three first weeks in Indian cinema history. The film grossed ₹663 Cr worldwide in five days, and with two days of its first week still to go, it is set to go past Baahubali 2’s first-week total.
Top 3 First Weeks in Indian Cinema (Worldwide Gross)
1. Pushpa 2: ₹965 Cr
2. Dhurandhar 2: ₹940 Cr
3. Baahubali 2: ₹830 Cr
Where Ramayana Stands
The film’s day-wise run so far:
Day 1: ₹128 Cr
Day 2: ₹101 Cr
Day 3: ₹151 Cr
Day 4: ₹123 Cr
Day 5: ₹160 Cr
Total: ₹663 Cr
With today’s collections, Ramayana is heading into the ₹800 Cr range. That will put it on course to finish the week above ₹875 Cr, comfortably past Baahubali 2’s ₹830 Cr and into third place.
Biggest First Week for a Standalone Film
There is another record hidden in this list. Pushpa 2, Dhurandhar 2 and Baahubali 2 are all sequels, each built on the success of the film before it. Ramayana is the first part of its story, with no earlier film to draw audiences from.
So when it crosses ₹875 Cr, Ramayana will also have the biggest first week ever for a standalone Indian film.
Can It Go Higher?
Dhurandhar 2’s ₹940 Cr is about ₹65 Cr above Ramayana’s expected first-week figure, and Pushpa 2’s ₹965 Cr about ₹90 Cr. That gap is too big to close in two days, so third place is where Ramayana will end its first week. With the run it is having, though, the bigger records will come into play over the full run.
