Ramayana Day 7: Rs 611 Cr Gross, Hindi Nears Rs 400 Cr
Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana – Part 1 grossed Rs 611.05 crore in India in its first week, led by the Hindi version. Day 7 net was Rs 70.65 crore.
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana – Part 1 is closing its first week with a box-office milestone. Released on November 5, the epic has now grossed Rs 611.05 crore in India, according to Sacnilk data cited by Bollywood Bubble. The Hindi version alone is responsible for close to Rs 400 crore of that total.
The film is already the biggest post-Diwali collection for an Indian film. It crossed Rs 500 crore in six days and pushed past Rs 600 crore on day seven.
Day 7 at the domestic box office
Wednesday brought in Rs 70.65 crore net across 24,239 shows, a 24.9% dip from the previous day. That is a routine midweek slide after the holiday surge, but the headline number remains huge. Hindi led with Rs 58.00 crore from 19,715 shows.
The regional versions added the rest:
- Kannada: Rs 4.50 crore from 922 shows
- Malayalam: Rs 2.75 crore from 870 shows
- Telugu: Rs 2.75 crore from 1,847 shows
- Tamil: Rs 2.65 crore from 885 shows
Seven-day totals now stand at Rs 611.05 crore gross and Rs 511.10 crore net in India. Gross is the total ticket value including taxes, while net is what remains after entertainment tax is deducted.
Why the first week matters
The first-week figure confirms that Ramayana is working as a pan-Indian theatrical event rather than a single-language release. Hindi is the engine, while Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil versions are adding meaningful volume in the south. The ensemble is a big part of that pull: Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshmana.
Producers Namit Malhotra and Yash have backed a film that leans on top-notch VFX, big music and performance-driven storytelling. Bollywood Bubble’s review rated it 4.5 stars and called it “a must watch in theatres.”
The week-two test
Now the holiday cushion disappears. Week two will show whether the film can hold beyond the Diwali corridor, and the 24.9% dip on Wednesday suggests the run is normalising after the initial frenzy. Overseas business is strong too: a separate Bollywood Bubble report put the international gross at over Rs 320 crore, which pushes worldwide collections close to the Rs 1,000 crore mark.
For fans, the next date is already set. The second part of the franchise is scheduled for Diwali 2028. Until then, the first part’s hold in its second week will decide just how high the record goes.
