Ramayana’s global journey is just getting started. The film has already grossed over $45 million overseas in just 10 days, and it is now set to enter four of the world’s biggest film markets in 2027.
Set to Beat Dhurandhar 2 Overseas
Dhurandhar 2 currently holds the record as the biggest overseas grosser in Indian cinema in its first phase of release, with $50 million.
Ramayana is set to go past that comfortably. With $45 million in 10 days and strong momentum in its second weekend, the film is heading for over $60 million in its initial overseas run, and it could even reach $65 million.
China, Russia, Japan and South Korea in 2027
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has revealed the next big step:
“Ramayana is all set to expand its global footprint, with the much-celebrated film gearing up to enter four significant international markets in 2027. Yes, the film is slated to release in China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea in the first quarter of 2027… In fact, it has already been submitted for censor clearance in China. The next phase of Ramayana’s international journey is expected to be HUMONGOUS.”
Why These Markets Matter
These four are among the biggest film markets in the world, and very few Indian films have managed to crack them. If Ramayana succeeds there, the numbers could be massive.
China is the biggest prize of all. Dangal’s all-time record as the highest-grossing Indian film was built largely on its huge China run, so a strong China release could give Ramayana a real shot at the No.1 spot.
A Boost for Part 2
A successful run in these markets would also add big value to Ramayana Part 2. A larger global audience going into the sequel would make it an even bigger event worldwide.
A Global Phenomenon
With its record-breaking run in India, a record overseas start and a four-country expansion planned for 2027, Ramayana is well on its way to becoming a true global phenomenon.
