Ramayana crosses ₹934 crore globally in first seven days
The Story in Brief
‘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.
