Ramayana is gearing up for its biggest day at the box office, with Day 5, the post-Diwali Monday, expected to deliver a massive jump in collections. The film recorded its biggest day so far on Saturday, collecting over ₹82 crore gross in India and surpassing its opening-day numbers. Monday is particularly important as families who stayed home during Diwali celebrations are expected to return to theatres, making it one of the biggest box-office opportunities of the year in the Hindi markets.
Advance bookings for Monday are reportedly the strongest the film has witnessed so far, with pre-sales alone expected to generate over ₹60 crore gross in India. With walk-in audiences adding to the numbers, Ramayana is projected to cross ₹100 crore gross domestically on Day 5. Meanwhile, its four-day extended opening weekend is heading towards ₹490 crore worldwide, comprising approximately ₹275 crore from India and ₹215 crore from overseas markets.
The next two days could prove crucial for the film’s commercial prospects. Monday and Tuesday are expected to generate at least ₹300 crore gross worldwide combined, potentially giving Ramayana the momentum it needs to cross the ₹1,000 crore milestone. After an opening stretch that fell short of expectations, the post-Diwali holidays offer an opportunity for a significant turnaround. Whether the film achieves these ambitious projections will depend on audience turnout over the coming days.
