Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has crossed Rs 500 crore net in India in just seven days, and the film is now closing in on Rs 1,000 crore worldwide. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer added Rs 70.65 crore net on Wednesday, its seventh day in theatres, taking its India net total to Rs 511.10 crore, according to trade tracker Sacnilk.
The film, which released on November 5 during the Diwali week, has now grossed Rs 611.05 crore in India and Rs 934.55 crore worldwide, with overseas markets contributing Rs 323.50 crore. It is the fastest Indian film of the year to cross the Rs 500 crore net mark at home, and trade watchers say the Rs 1,000 crore worldwide milestone is now firmly in sight.
A week of huge numbers
Ramayana has held remarkably well through its first week. After a strong opening weekend, the film actually grew on Monday, its fifth day, collecting Rs 107.50 crore net, the biggest single day of its run so far. Day 6 brought in Rs 94.10 crore, and Wednesday’s Rs 70.65 crore, a drop of around 25 percent, still kept the film comfortably ahead of every other release in theatres.
The Hindi version continues to do the heavy lifting, with Rs 394 crore net from the Hindi belt alone. The dubbed versions have added up steadily too: Kannada at Rs 45.70 crore, Telugu at Rs 35.75 crore, Tamil at Rs 20 crore and Malayalam at Rs 15.65 crore. The spread across languages is one of the reasons the film’s total has climbed so fast, with strong occupancy reported in the south as well as the north.
Trade estimates do vary slightly from tracker to tracker. BoxOfficeIndia24, for instance, puts the seven-day India net at Rs 504.50 crore and the worldwide gross at Rs 903.39 crore. Either way, the film has crossed Rs 500 crore net in India and Rs 900 crore worldwide within a week, a feat few Indian films have managed.
What is driving the run
Several things have worked in the film’s favour. The Diwali release date gave it a long festive weekend, and the scale of the production, mounted by producer Namit Malhotra, has drawn families and repeat viewers to theatres. Word of mouth around the film’s visual effects has been strong, and the casting of Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Yash as Ravana, with Sai Pallavi as Sita, gave the film a rare pan-India pull before release.
The film is also set to open in Hong Kong on November 12, which should add to the overseas tally in the coming days. With no major Hindi release scheduled to challenge it this weekend, trade experts expect the film to keep collecting strongly through its second week.
Part 2 already taking shape
Meanwhile, work on the second part of the film is well under way. Cinematographer Pankaj Kumar has said that around 60 percent of Ramayana: Part Two has already been shot, with a large volume of visual effects work still to come. The makers had planned the two-part structure from the start, and the first film’s box office performance has only raised expectations for the sequel.
For now, though, the story is the numbers. A Rs 500 crore net total in seven days puts Ramayana among the biggest Indian box office successes ever, and if the current pace holds, the film could become only the second Indian film this year to join the Rs 1,000 crore club.
