Some films arrive quietly. Others arrive carrying a nation’s emotions. Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana belongs to the second kind, and its first-day numbers show it. Trade estimates put the worldwide gross at around Rs 127 crore, the 14th biggest opening day ever. For more box office breakdowns, keep an eye on Technosports.
Ramayana Day 1 Box Office at a Glance
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Worldwide gross | ~Rs 127 crore |
| India gross | ~Rs 76 crore |
| Overseas gross | ~Rs 53 crore |
| Hindi net (India) | Rs 45 crore |
| All-time worldwide rank | 14th |
The Rs 45 crore Hindi net also makes this Ranbir Kapoor’s second-best Hindi opening day.
Why This Opening Is Bigger Than It Looks?
Ramayana landed in the pre-Diwali window, which trade watchers consider one of the toughest release periods. Offices are busy, families are shopping, and the festival holidays are still days away. Opening to Rs 127 crore anyway says a lot about the pull of Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, and about audience appetite for mythology on a grand scale.
Overseas audiences also showed up. The film reportedly scored the biggest Bollywood previews ever in North America, and about Rs 53 crore came from international markets on day one.

Where Ramayana Stands Among the Giants?
Here is how the top of the all-time list looks, along with the films just around Ramayana:
| Rank | Film | Day 1 Gross (Rs crore) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pushpa: The Rule | 257.00 |
| 2 | Baahubali: The Conclusion | 200.00 |
| 3 | Dhurandhar: The Revenge | 191.00 |
| 4 | RRR | 189.00 |
| 13 | Jawan | 127.75 |
| 14 | Ramayana | 127.00 |
| 15 | Saaho | 116.00 |
South Indian blockbusters dominate this chart. Only three Bollywood titles made the top 15: Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Jawan and Ramayana. Ramayana missed Jawan’s number by less than a crore.
What Happens Next?
Day one is only the opening chapter. The story comes from the ancient Indian epic, which you can read about on Wikipedia. That cultural familiarity could help the film hold up through the festive weekend, though word of mouth will decide how long it runs. Track every update in our latest box office coverage.
