Nitesh Tiwari’s film “Ramayana” has crossed the Rs 1,000 crore global box office milestone in eight days, becoming the 11th Indian movie to achieve this feat.
Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios produced the film with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. The makers released this first instalment worldwide on November 5.
Trade website Sacnilk reports that “Ramayana” earned Rs 1,033.55 crore globally after eight days. Indian theatres contributed Rs 675.05 crore, while international markets added Rs 358.50 crore.
The extended Diwali holiday window boosted initial ticket sales. Strong multi-language demand across India and a massive overseas rollout also drove the film past the milestone rapidly.
Tiwari’s earlier hit “Dangal” leads all Indian films with Rs 2,070.00 crore. Aditya Dhar’s “Dhurandhar 2” holds second place with a worldwide collection of Rs 1,813.40 crore.
“Baahubali 2” earned Rs 1,788.00 crore, while “Pushpa 2” collected Rs 1,742.00 crore. “Dhurandhar” rounds out the top five highest-grossing Indian films with Rs 1,307.35 crore.
“RRR” follows at Rs 1,230.00 crore, ahead of “KGF Chapter 2” at Rs 1,215.00 crore. “Jawan”, “Pathaan”, and “Kalki 2898 AD” complete the top ten list.
Makers mounted “Ramayana” on a reported budget of Rs 2,000 crore. Trade analysts expect the epic to climb higher on the all-time chart next week.
Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama alongside Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Ravi Dubey, Arun Govil, and Lara Dutta also portray key roles.
The narrative follows Rama’s birth, marriage, and exile before Ravana abducts Sita. The film ends as Rama vows to rescue her, setting up the sequel.
Oscar winners A R Rahman and Hans Zimmer composed the soundtrack. Terry Notary and Guy Norris choreographed the action sequences for the two-part adaptation.
The sequel will depict Rama’s rescue mission and introduce Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman. Producers will release the second part during Diwali 2028.
