Ramayana is enjoying a sensational run in Kerala, emerging as an unprecedented success for a Hindi film in the state. After nine days, the film had collected ₹33 crore gross, putting it firmly on course to challenge the biggest record held by a non-Malayalam release. On its tenth day, Saturday, the film delivered its biggest single-day collection in Kerala, crossing ₹6 crore. This takes its 10-day total close to ₹40 crore, making its extraordinary performance even more significant.
Jailer 2’s ₹80 Crore Record in Danger
For years, Baahubali held the record for the highest-grossing non-Malayalam film in Kerala with ₹73 crore. Jailer 2 eventually surpassed that figure and finished with ₹80 crore, becoming the state’s biggest non-Malayalam grosser. Now, Ramayana has emerged as a serious contender for that position. Advance bookings for Sunday are already nearing ₹5 crore, indicating the possibility of another record-breaking day. At its current pace, the film is expected to cross ₹50 crore in Kerala within its second week.
Can Ramayana Surpass Jailer 2?
With strong second-weekend momentum, Ramayana has a genuine opportunity to challenge Jailer 2’s ₹80 crore benchmark. Achieving that milestone would be unprecedented for a Hindi mythological film in Kerala. Meanwhile, the film has crossed ₹1,200 crore worldwide in just 10 days and is heading towards an exceptional second weekend. Its Kerala performance is now another major highlight of its extraordinary box-office run.
