‘Ramayana: Rise of a Legend’ has collected ₹934.55 crore gross worldwide in its first seven days, including ₹630 crore gross from India and ₹323.50 crore from overseas, according to Sacnilk data cited across multiple outlets. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic earned ₹107.50 crore net in India on Monday, 9 November, its single highest-grossing day so far. The film crossed the $100 million global mark, becoming the first non-Chinese film to do so in 2026, with North America contributing $12.2 million and the UK adding £2.14 million in its opening weekend, per numbers reported by Variety India and the British Film Institute. On day eight (Thursday, 12 November), Bollywood Hungary pegged early collections at ₹30.25 crore by 5 PM, pushing the domestic net past ₹520 crore, while Filmibeat reported ₹22.97 crore by 5:30 PM, still to be finalised. The film is expanding to Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico and Central Asia on 12 November, with Brazil, Italy and other markets scheduled for 19 November.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Coverage of ‘Ramayana: Rise of a Legend’ is largely uniform around its record-setting first week: seven of the seven sources cite Sacnilk’s India net of ₹511.10 crore and worldwide gross of ₹934.55 crore. The Hans India and m9.news push the prediction angle hardest, with The Hans India declaring the film will cross ₹1,000 crore on 12 November and m9.news speculating about a ₹2,000-crore lifetime total, while Hindustan Times uses the milestone to frame a longer box-office history piece. By contrast, CNBC-TV18, Business Standard, Bollywood Hungama and Filmibeat stick to straight reporting of day-wise figures and territory breakdowns. The Hans India and m9.news also add sequel details, 40 percent of Part 2 is pending, Sunny Deol plays Hanuman, release in 2028, that no other outlet confirms.
