Ramayana, being the most expensive Indian film to date, was expected to register the biggest opening at the worldwide box office, and while that didn’t happen, it still raked in staggering numbers by the end of its first week. The pre-Diwali period affected its collections in the opening weekend, but it later offset the impact with a superb run over the weekdays. As a result, it emerged as the second-fastest entrant of the 1000 crore club among Indian films.
The latest Bollywood magnum opus entered the 1000 crore club in 8 days. Both Pushpa 2 and Dhurandhar 2 are at the top, having achieved the feat in 7 days. They surely remained unbeaten, but need to consider that both these biggies had the sequel factor in their favor. So, being a standalone film, the magnum opus has done extremely well for itself. Also, during the weekdays, it was more consistent than the other two biggies.
Ramayana’s terrific weekday run propels it into the 1000-crore club
First, regarding the latest release, Ramayana reached the 1000-crore milestone worldwide on its 8th day. In its 4-day weekend, it amassed 510.55 crore, and in the next 4 days, it added a whopping 524.31 crore. Overall, it finished its extended week at 1034.86 crore gross.

Ramayana loses week 1 battle but hints at long run
We can clearly see that Dhurandhar 2 is leading the opening-week battle here, but the margin isn’t big. Interestingly, despite falling far behind during the first weekend, Ramayana covered an impressive distance on weekdays. This indicates that the Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi starrer could be a leggy affair over the course of its run.
