Ramayana Box Office: The Real Game starts Now

Ramayana is heading towards the ₹1,300 crore worldwide gross by the end of its second weekend. In just 11 days, the film has emerged as the biggest overseas grosser in Indian cinema, crossing the $50 million mark. It is now expected to add another $15-20 million or more, looking at the way it is going.

This has set the stage for an interesting box-office battle ahead. With the film maintaining a strong run, the real test begins from its third Monday. Even though there are no major releases in Hindi, it is still not easy to carry this massive momentum for few more weeks. The coming days will determine how far this film can go and rewrite the existing box-office records for films like Dangal, Dhurandhar 2, Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2. 

However, its performance in India will remain the biggest deciding factor. The magnum opus has enjoyed an extraordinary response, particularly in the Hindi belt, and the upcoming international releases in China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea could further boost its collections.

Coming to the Telugu market, Ramayana has performed reasonably well, but the numbers are not yet at the level required to achieve its bigger targets. The film needs to maintain a strong hold for some more days to build a substantial total in Telugu states.

With multiple records still within reach, the coming weeks will be crucial, as the film still has a long way to go to achieve its ambitious box office target which is approx 1500crore+. The second weekend has given Ramayana a solid foundation, but whether it can cross every major milestone remains the biggest question.

Produced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana was directed by Nitesh Tiwari and had Yash, Ranbir Kapoor, and Sai Pallavi in lead roles. A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer composed the music for this film, and its second part will be out in 2028.
