Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, released in theaters across the country yesterday (November 5). Considering the subject, the scale, and overall pre-release chatter, the film was expected to score Bollywood’s second-biggest opening after Dhurandhar 2. While that didn’t happen by a margin, it managed a healthy start at the Indian box office. In fact, it has registered a record start for a Diwali release. Keep reading for a detailed day 1 collection report!

How much did Ramayana earn at the Indian box office on day 1?

While advance bookings worth 40 crore+ gross were indicating a start of 80 crore or more in net collections, reality was quite different. It has been learned that the film scored approx. 65 crore net at the Indian box office on day 1, including all languages. It equals 76.7 crore gross. In Hindi alone, it earned approx. 47.65 crore net, which is much lower than what was expected. The occupancy graph showed an upward trend throughout the day, but it wasn’t on the expected lines, and the main reason is the pre-Diwali period.

Occupancy-wise, Ramayana performed well in the dubbed versions, with the biggest pie coming from the Kannada version at 7.25 crore net. In Telugu, the film earned 6 crore net. Tamil added another 2.6 crore net, followed by Malayalam at 1.5 crore net.

Scores Bollywood’s 4th biggest opening

For a film of a Ramayana’s magnitude, a start of 65 crore is honestly underwhelming, but the good thing is that word-of-mouth is favorable, and all eyes are now set on Monday (November 9), as it’ll show the film’s real potential. In the meantime, it has pulled off Bollywood’s fourth-biggest opening of all time in India. It just surpassed Stree 2 (64.8 crore) to claim the fourth spot.
