Ramayana box office collection has now crossed ₹600 crore in India net and over ₹1,100 crore worldwide through 9 confirmed days, with the Kannada-dubbed version alone becoming the first from any Bollywood film to cross ₹50 crore net. Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, set the biggest second-Friday collection in Indian cinema history on day 9. Here’s the full day-wise breakdown, the new records, and our review of the film itself.
Ramayana Box Office Collection: Day-by-Day (India Net)
Through its first 8 days, “Ramayana: Part 1” has posted a consistently strong run, dipping only on two weekdays before a huge Monday surge. All figures below are India net, as tracked by Sacnilk’s live box office tracker and cross-checked against day-wise figures independently reported by Business Today, which independently confirms the same ₹1,033.55 crore worldwide total through day 8.
| Day | Date | India Net Collection |
|---|---|---|

| Day 3 | Sat, Nov 7 | ₹69.80 crore |

India net total through day 9 (confirmed): ₹612.45 crore, crossing the ₹600 crore mark that day. Worldwide gross: over ₹1,100 crore through day 9. Day 10’s figure above is a live, still-updating estimate and is not included in these confirmed totals yet. Figures per Sacnilk’s live tracker and independently corroborated by India TV News.
Ramayana Crosses ₹600 Crore in India, Kannada Version Hits ₹50 Crore
Day 9 (Friday, November 13) brought two milestones at once. “Ramayana: Part 1” crossed ₹600 crore in India net collections, reaching ₹612.45 crore cumulative, while setting the biggest second-Friday collection in Indian box office history, beating “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” at the same point in its run — confirmed by India TV News and Daily Jagran. The same day, the film’s Kannada-dubbed version alone crossed ₹50 crore net, making “Ramayana: Part 1” the first Bollywood film ever to reach that figure from a Kannada dub specifically — a genuinely unusual result given Telugu or Tamil dubs typically lead for Hindi films, not Kannada. By the same day, the film’s combined Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam dubbed takings had also pushed past ₹100 crore net jointly, another first for a Bollywood release. Day 10’s numbers are still a live estimate as of this update and will be confirmed in the next refresh.
Ramayana Becomes the 11th Indian Film to Cross ₹1,000 Crore
With its day-8 worldwide total, “Ramayana: Part 1” joins an exclusive list that includes “Dangal,” “Baahubali 2,” “KGF 2,” “RRR,” “Pathaan,” “Jawan,” “Kalki 2898 AD,” “Pushpa 2,” and “Dhurandhar: The Revenge.” Only two of those films — “Pushpa 2” and “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” — reached the milestone faster, making Ramayana the third-fastest Indian film ever to cross ₹1,000 crore worldwide, and only the third to do it within its very first week of release. Our take: getting there in 8 days on the back of a genuinely massive Diwali-week opening, rather than a slow multi-month climb, puts this film in a different category than most of the ₹1,000-crore club — it’s a front-loaded blockbuster, not a sleeper hit that compounded over time.
Ramayana’s Record South Dubbed and North America Numbers
Beyond the headline total, two regional records stand out. “Ramayana: Part 1” is now the first Hindi-origin film ever to cross ₹100 crore net from its South Indian dubbed versions alone — Kannada led with ₹43.32 crore, ahead of Telugu’s ₹34.16 crore, Tamil’s ₹18.5 crore, and Malayalam’s ₹14.01 crore, for a combined ₹109.54 crore. Kannada topping the dubbed-language chart is itself unusual, since Telugu or Tamil versions typically lead for Hindi films. In North America, the film crossed $15.65 million within its first six days, already surpassing the full lifetime North American gross of Ranbir Kapoor’s previous biggest hit, “Animal,” and is now tracking toward a $20 million-plus total in the US alone.
The Review: Grand, Visually Spectacular, Occasionally Hollow
“Ramayana: Part 1” tells the opening chapters of the Hindu epic, with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Yash as Ravana, building toward the larger confrontation the second part will presumably complete. The most consistent praise across early reviews lands on the film’s sheer visual ambition — its production design, action choreography, and music are being described as genuinely spectacular, the kind of scale Indian cinema rarely attempts at this budget level. Where reviews diverge is on emotional depth: several critics and early viewers have noted that for a story this mythologically weighty, the film sometimes prioritizes spectacle over the quieter character beats that would make its biggest moments land harder.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Rama vs. Yash’s Ravana
If there’s a clear consensus among reviewers, it’s this: Yash is the film’s standout. Playing Ravana across multiple phases of the character’s life, he gets the showier, more theatrically rich role, and early reactions single out his introduction sequences and screen presence specifically. Ranbir Kapoor’s Rama has been described as “sublime” and quietly excellent in a role that, by the nature of the character, asks for restraint and moral gravity rather than scene-stealing flash.
