Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 is refusing to slow down. On its second Saturday, the Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash starrer pulled in an estimated Rs 72.90 crore net in India, taking its 10-day domestic total to Rs 685.60 crore and its worldwide gross to Rs 1,228 crore, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. In ten days, the film has already gone past the lifetime worldwide total of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, and it is now the third-fastest Indian film ever to cross Rs 1,000 crore worldwide.
For a film that opened on November 5, the second weekend has been the real story. After a strong first week, most big releases lose steam on their second Friday. Ramayana did the opposite. Saturday’s jump of more than 50 percent over Friday shows that audiences are still turning up in large numbers, and the film is now chasing records that looked out of reach a week ago.
A second Saturday surge
The day-wise run tells the story clearly. Ramayana collected Rs 48.10 crore on its ninth day, Friday, and then surged to Rs 72.90 crore on Saturday, its tenth day. The film ran across 23,451 shows on Saturday, with occupancy of around 40 percent, and the Hindi version alone contributed Rs 53.75 crore on the day.
The first week had already set a high bar. The film closed its opening seven days, ending Thursday, November 12, with an India net collection of Rs 564 crore. Day eight brought Rs 53.50 crore, and the momentum has carried straight into the second weekend. The India gross after ten days stands at Rs 819.50 crore, while the overseas gross has reached Rs 408.50 crore.
What makes the Saturday number stand out is the scale of the jump. A rise of over 50 percent from Friday to Saturday is rare for a film in its second week, and it suggests strong word of mouth rather than just opening-weekend curiosity. Families and repeat viewers appear to be driving the second-weekend crowds.
Third-fastest Indian film to Rs 1,000 crore
Ramayana entered the Rs 1,000-crore worldwide club within eight days of release, making it the third-fastest Indian film to reach the mark, after Pushpa 2 and Dhurandhar 2. The worldwide total now stands at Rs 1,228 crore, and the film has already moved past several all-time benchmarks.
The Week reported that the film’s worldwide gross of Rs 1,226.45 crore by late Saturday had gone past Jawan‘s lifetime worldwide total of Rs 1,148.32 crore. Its India gross of Rs 817.95 crore by Saturday night had also passed Jawan‘s lifetime domestic gross of Rs 761.98 crore. The film has also moved ahead of Kalki 2898 AD and Pathaan in worldwide earnings, according to trade reports.
The language split has helped. While the Hindi version leads the collections, the Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam versions have all contributed steadily, with the Kannada version adding Rs 5.40 crore on Saturday alone. The film released in five languages, and the southern markets have kept the daily totals high even on weekdays.
What happens next
The second Sunday will be the next big test. If the film holds anywhere near Saturday’s level, it will close its second weekend with a domestic total approaching Rs 750 crore net, a figure few Indian films have ever reached. The coming weekdays will show whether the run has longer legs or whether the second weekend was the peak.
Off screen, the film continues to collect honours. Ramayana will open the BRICS segment at the 57th International Film Festival of India in Goa, which begins on November 20, while Dhurandhar has been named the festival’s opening film.
One deal is still not done. The makers have not yet announced an OTT deal for the film, and with the theatrical run still going strong, there is no hurry. For now, the focus is entirely on the box office, and on current form, the film has at least one more big weekend in it.
