Ramayana has created box-office history in Kerala, emerging as the biggest-grossing Bollywood film in the state’s theatrical market. On Day 6, the film crossed the ₹20 crore gross milestone, becoming the first Hindi film to achieve the feat. It has also surpassed the previous record held by Dhurandhar 2, which reportedly finished its entire theatrical run in Kerala with collections of over ₹19.5 crore. Remarkably, Ramayana has gone past that lifetime total in less than a week, establishing an unprecedented record for Bollywood in the state.
A Run That Keeps Growing
Ramayana opened with an impressive ₹3 crore gross in Kerala on Day 1, followed by ₹2.15 crore on Day 2. Collections subsequently picked up, with the film earning ₹3.60 crore on Day 3 and registering its biggest day yet with ₹4.60 crore on Day 4. Even on Day 5, it maintained a strong hold with another ₹3.90 crore, taking its five-day total to ₹17.25 crore. The steady growth, particularly after the initial dip, points towards encouraging word of mouth and sustained audience interest.
From ₹20 Crore to ₹50 Crore?
Crossing ₹20 crore within six days could be just the beginning of Ramayana‘s extraordinary Kerala run. Given its strong collections and impressive weekday trend, the film has the potential to double its current total. Even the ₹50 crore milestone is being discussed as a possibility, considering that no Bollywood film has previously come close to that figure in Kerala. The film’s performance over the coming days will determine how far it can extend this historic run.
