Ramayana Box Office Day 1 Blitz: Ranbir Kapoor’s Biggest Career Opener

Ramayana Box Office Collection: The box office has officially been set on fire. Nitesh Tiwari’s gargantuan mythological epic, Ramayana: Part 1, has made a historical landing across global theaters. Backed by an unprecedented budget, the film generated a massive ₹64.85 crore net across all languages in India on Day 1.

When factoring in international loops, the official worldwide gross debut stands at a staggering ₹155 crore(with trade lines indexing a conservative ₹127.50 crore baseline). This instantly crowning the movie as Ranbir Kapoor’s biggest career opening day, cleanly dethroning Animal (₹63.80 crore) while placing it right behind the all-time historic benchmarks set by blockbusters like Jawan (₹75 Cr net) and the record-shattering Dhurandhar 2 (₹102.55 Cr net)

Day 2 Live Update: Are Audiences Exhausted by the 195-Minute Runtime?

As the massive Thursday holiday wave settles, early Friday theater footfalls indicate a visible correction. The film is tracking a live interim estimate of ₹14.99 crore net for its second day as of afternoon tracking cycles.

While multiplex occupancy remains steady in metropolitan hubs, mass circuits are experiencing a slight dip. Audiences are heavily divided over the film’s structural pacing. While the visual world-building handled by DNEG is being hailed as world-class, several viewers are calling out the exhaustive 195-minute runtime, noting that the narrative progression drags significantly throughout the first hour before superstar Yash makes his grand screen appearance as Ravana.

Despite the mixed word-of-mouth regarding the sluggish screenplay, the film’s advanced ticket sales for Saturday and Sunday are already heavily locked in. With over ₹26 crore already generated for Day 3, the theatrical run is poised to bounce back dramatically over the weekend.
