Nitesh Tiwari's much-awaited 'Ramayana: Part 1' has finally arrived in theatres worldwide, opening to considerable excitement ahead of the Diwali weekend. Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 1,600 crore, the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer is being touted as the most expensive Indian film ever made. The advance booking were strong hence the expectations from the day 1 of the box office are higher. But apart from the advance collections, the box office fate of the film will largely depend on good word of mouth which may lead to growth during the upcoming long Diwali weekend.The film has witnessed strong footfalls during Thursday morning shows, with several theatres reporting houseful screenings across the country.
