Ranbir Kapoor and Yash Starrer Ramayana Crosses One Thousand Crore Rupees Worldwide

The mythological epic Ramayana surpassed one thousand crore rupees in global box-office gross collections within its first week in theatres, driven by strong holiday ticket sales.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the first installment of the two-part franchise stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash.

The fantasy feature arrived in cinemas on November 5 and capitalized on post-Diwali holidays to register record-breaking weekday collections across multiple territories.

Dipika Chikhlia, who portrayed Sita in Ramanand Sagar's television adaptation, praised the new film and its visual effects in a video message.

"See, I told you right that the film is well-made and is bound to be a hit," said Dipika Chikhlia, speaking to reporters about the project.

The production crossed five hundred crore rupees in net domestic earnings in India faster than almost any predecessor in the country's cinematic history.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk cited by The Indian Express, the domestic gross reached six hundred eleven crore rupees alongside strong international receipts.

Pinkvilla reported that overseas earnings reached thirty-four million dollars, aided by strong runs in North America, Australia and European markets.

The adaptation also found unexpected success in Southeast Asian countries where versions of the ancient Hindu epic are integrated into local cultural heritage and school curricula.

The Times of India reported that Vietnam contributed three hundred fifty thousand dollars to the overseas tally, which exceeded historical averages for Indian cinema in that country.

Industry analysts are tracking whether the Nitesh Tiwari directorial can maintain its momentum to challenge the lifetime earnings records of higher-grossing domestic releases.

The second installment of the franchise is currently scheduled for release during the Diwali holiday season in 2028.
