Ramayana: Part 1 has made a big start at the box office. On Sunday, November 8, the Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi starrer collected an estimated net of Rs 56.15 crore across 21,770 shows. Its four-day India net total is now Rs 238.85 crore, comfortably past the Rs 200 crore mark, and its worldwide gross is close to Rs 500 crore.

Day 4 Collection: A Dip After a Big Saturday

Sunday’s number was lower than Saturday’s. The film had earned Rs 69.80 crore net on Day 3, so Day 4 was a drop of about 19.6 per cent. A fall like this is common after a festive Saturday, and Sunday’s earnings were still among the film’s best days. The India gross for the day was about Rs 66.95 crore.

The film’s domestic gross after four days stands at roughly Rs 285.20 crore.

Four-Day Box Office Breakdown

The film opened at Rs 64.85 crore, slipped on Friday, a working day, and then recovered on Saturday as holiday crowds arrived.

Worldwide Numbers Close to Rs 500 Crore

Overseas audiences have backed the film too. Its worldwide gross after four days is estimated at Rs 499 crore, so the Rs 500 crore milestone is either within reach or already crossed, depending on how the figures are rounded. Overseas markets added roughly Rs 53 crore on Day 4 alone, taking the cumulative overseas gross to about Rs 222 crore.

Diwali Weekend Helped Footfalls

The release timing worked in the film’s favour. A long Diwali weekend usually brings family audiences to cinemas, and a story from one of India’s best-known epics suits that audience well. Hindi-belt markets, where the subject has deep cultural pull, are likely to have contributed heavily.

The Film and Its Scale

Ramayana: Part 1 is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, with Yash also backing it through his production banner. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi plays Sita. Yash plays Ravana, and Sunny Deol plays Hanuman. The cast also includes Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Arun Govil as Dasharath, and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, with Rakul Preet Singh, Kajal Aggarwal, and Vivek Oberoi in other roles.

The film runs 195 minutes and was cleared by the CBFC with a U certificate and no cuts. Its visual effects were handled by DNEG. Critics have praised its visual scale and action, though some reviews have asked whether a film of this size can meet the expectations around it.

The budget has been widely discussed. The Rs 4,000 crore figure that has circulated covers the total investment across both planned parts, as Yash has clarified. Industry estimates for Part 1 alone are lower, at around Rs 835 crore. Part 2 is expected to follow at Diwali 2027.

Monday Test and What Comes Next

Trade watchers will now look at the Monday numbers, which will show how well the film holds up on working days. A steady Monday would point to strong word of mouth and could set up a good second weekend. A sharp fall would suggest the film leaned heavily on the festive holiday.

For now, the film has crossed Rs 200 crore net in India in four days, is close to Rs 500 crore worldwide, and has put in a strong first weekend. Its first-week run will show whether it can recover its large investment.
