Ramayana Part One Opens at Rs. 127.5 Crore Worldwide Day One
Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's Ramayana Part One earns Rs 127.50 crore worldwide on day one, led by a UK record and a US #1 Thursday.
Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s Ramayana: Part One has opened with force, taking an estimated Rs. 127.50 crore gross worldwide on day one, according to trade figures reported by Pinkvilla. The total is built on a Rs. 76 crore India opening and an overseas day of about Rs. 51.50 crore (USD 5.45 million).
The opening-day math
North America had a running start. The film banked nearly USD 2 million in previews in North America on Wednesday, followed by USD 3.50 million across all markets on Thursday. India remained the single largest contributor, pushing the worldwide first-day gross past the Rs. 127 crore mark.
- India: Rs. 76 crore
- Overseas: Rs. 51.50 crore (USD 5.45 million)
- Worldwide: Rs. 127.50 crore approx
Where the film overdelivered
The United Kingdom delivered the headline number, setting an all-time Bollywood opening-day record with GBP 440K and edging past the GBP 427K debut of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Dubbed versions added to that total, and Friday’s advance looks even stronger, so the UK is likely to stay in focus through the extended weekend.
Germany also registered its biggest opening day ever for a Bollywood release at EUR 165K. Australia landed the fourth-biggest Bollywood opening day at AUD 505K, while Canada posted a healthy CAD 775K.
The United States was the top territory by value with USD 2.80 million, making Ramayana: Part One the number one film on US box office charts on Thursday. That start is the second-biggest for a Bollywood film, narrowly trailing the USD 2.91 million debut of Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
The one weak spot
The Middle East was the clear underperformer at USD 400K on Thursday. With no release in Saudi Arabia or Qatar and a soft UAE number, the region did not provide the extra cushion an event release of this scale might have needed.
Why the lifetime number matters
The four-day extended opening weekend is tracking towards more than USD 20 million. That is strong, but Sony’s print and advertising investment was significant, so the real test is the lifetime collection. For now, the audience has been largely desi diaspora rather than a broader crossover crowd. Early audience scores are positive and weekend advances are strong, which leaves the long-run picture open.
