Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana has wrapped up its first week with a phenomenal worldwide gross of ₹932.65 crore, securing the third-biggest opening week in Indian cinema history. The film collected ₹598.65 crore from India, while overseas markets contributed $35.55 million (approximately ₹334 crore). Interestingly, this is the biggest overseas first week ever recorded by an Indian film. Every single day of its opening week crossed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide, making it the first Indian film to achieve this remarkable feat. With these numbers, Ramayana has established itself as Ranbir Kapoor’s biggest film to date.
Day-Wise Collections and Overseas Records
Ramayana opened with ₹128.60 crore worldwide on Thursday, followed by ₹101.49 crore on Friday and ₹153.40 crore on Saturday. Sunday brought in ₹125.79 crore, while Monday witnessed a remarkable jump to ₹162.02 crore. The film collected another ₹144.88 crore on Tuesday and ₹116.43 crore on Wednesday, taking its first-week total to ₹932.65 crore. Overseas, the film accumulated $35.55 million, including a $24.35 million opening weekend. More importantly, weekday collections remained remarkably steady, ranging between $3.70 million and $3.75 million per day from Monday to Wednesday, taking the overseas gross to approximately ₹334 crore.
Third Biggest First Week Ever: ₹1,000 Cr in Sight
With its first-week haul, Ramayana now occupies the third position among the biggest opening-week grossers in Indian cinema. Pushpa 2 leads with ₹965 crore, followed by Dhurandhar 2 at ₹940 crore and Ramayana at ₹932.65 crore. The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer is just over ₹7 crore short of overtaking Dhurandhar 2 and is the only non-sequel among the top three. It has also surpassed Baahubali 2‘s ₹830 crore first-week collection and gone past Animal‘s ₹920 crore lifetime gross. With approximately ₹67 crore more needed to cross the ₹1,000 crore worldwide milestone, Ramayana is expected to reach the landmark in the opening days of its second week.
