Ramayana Part 1 crosses ₹507 crore worldwide in 4 days
The Story in Brief
Ramayana Part 1, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has collected ₹507.20 crore worldwide in its first four days, becoming the third-highest grossing Hindi film of 2026, according to bhaskar.com quoting tracker Sacnilk. The film earned ₹301.64 crore gross in India and ₹252.78 crore net domestically by the fourth day. It trails this year's top grosser Dhurandhar-2, which crossed ₹500 crore in three days, and Pushpa: The Rule and Baahubali 2.
Tv9hindi.com reports the film collected ₹375.5 crore in its first three days, with a budget of approximately ₹2,000 crore for Part 1. Trade analysts quoted by bhaskar.com estimate Ramayana needs ₹2,500 crore worldwide and ₹1,100 crore in India to be declared a hit. Trade analyst Sumit Kadel said the film needs ₹100 crore each on Monday (9 November) and Tuesday (10 November) to avoid a total Hindi collection of only ₹600 to 700 crore. Another analyst, Rohit Jaiswal, noted theatrical recovery is only 60 percent of budget, valuing the film at 1,200 crore, with 70 percent expected from India.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two outlets report overlapping but misaligned figures. Tv9hindi.com, based on a Monday evening update, says the film collected 375.5 crore worldwide in its first three days and needs 5,000 crore to recover its 2,000 crore budget. Bhaskar.com, with a Monday midday update, reports 507.2 crore worldwide in four days, making it the year's third-highest grossing Hindi film. Bhaskar.com adds trade analysts who estimate a realistic break-even target of 2,500 crore worldwide and 1,100 crore in India for a hit verdict, far below the 5,000 crore figure tv9hindi.com cites. Neither source contradicts the other on a common date, they simply cover different days, so the coverage is uniform straight reporting on different points in the film's run. The gap between 5,000 crore and 2,500 crore underscores how box-office language can vary between dramatic recovery talk and sober trade math.
