Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 has continued its extraordinary run at the box office, collecting ₹56.15 crore net in India on its fourth day, Sunday 8 November, and taking its worldwide gross to ₹499.20 crore in just four days — less than one crore short of the ₹500 crore mark.
The film crossed ₹200 crore net in India on Day 4 and has already overtaken the lifetime worldwide total of Adipurush, the 2023 mythological epic, which finished its run at ₹393 crore.
Day 4 in numbers: Sunday’s ₹56.15 crore and the language split
Sunday’s collection of ₹56.15 crore came from 21,719 shows across India at 37.4% overall occupancy, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. The figure is 19.6% lower than Saturday’s ₹69.80 crore, a dip trade watchers had expected: Sunday was Diwali itself, when evening shows compete with family celebrations at home.
Hindi remained the biggest contributor, with ₹36.75 crore from 17,714 shows. The southern versions punched well above their weight: Kannada added ₹7.25 crore, Telugu ₹6.25 crore, Tamil ₹3.15 crore and Malayalam ₹2.75 crore. Occupancy told the same story — Malayalam shows ran at 91.9% full, Tamil at 87.5% and Kannada at 75.9%, while Hindi averaged 29.0%.
About 2.35 million tickets were sold on Sunday, taking total admissions past 9.34 million in four days. Hindi accounts for ₹172.75 crore — 72.3% — of the ₹238.85 crore India net total so far.
₹499.20 crore worldwide in four days — and Adipurush overtaken
The worldwide picture is even more striking. Ramayana’s India gross stands at ₹285.20 crore after four days, and overseas markets have added ₹214 crore, including ₹45 crore on Sunday alone, for a worldwide gross of ₹499.20 crore.
That puts the film past ₹400 crore worldwide in four days and ahead of Adipurush’s lifetime global total of ₹393 crore. The four-day run in India reads: ₹64.85 crore on Thursday, ₹48.05 crore on Friday, ₹69.80 crore on Saturday and ₹56.15 crore on Sunday — a Friday-to-Sunday weekend of ₹174 crore.
Bollywood Hungama’s trade estimate put the Hindi version at ₹38–40 crore on Sunday, taking its Hindi total to about ₹171 crore — in line with Sacnilk’s Hindi figure of ₹172.75 crore. The film’s opening-day performance was covered in our earlier report on its ₹150 crore worldwide opening.
Why Sunday mattered: Diwali day at the box office
Diwali fell on the film’s fourth day this year, with Lakshmi Puja on Sunday evening. That timing cut both ways: the festival brought families to cinemas during the day, but the evening’s celebrations at home kept a lid on the night shows, which is reflected in the day’s lower occupancy compared with Saturday.
The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita, and is directed by Nitesh Tiwari. It released worldwide on 5 November 2026.
The film also drew attention in Pakistan ahead of its release, where a Karachi temple celebration marked the worldwide opening — a reminder of how widely the epic travels beyond India.
What comes next: the holiday week and the ₹400-crore chase
Trade watchers say the real test begins on Monday. The Diwali holiday stretch runs from Monday to Thursday, and the film will be chasing its biggest single day of the run and a strong first-week total, with a ₹400 crore first week in Hindi among the targets being discussed.
Ramayana: Part 2 is already scheduled for release on Diwali 2028, so the first film’s run will set the benchmark for the sequel. For comparison, Drishyam 3 has crossed ₹587 crore worldwide in its own run.
Figures in this article are trade estimates from Sacnilk, with overseas numbers described by the tracker as rough estimates subject to change. Small differences between trackers are normal at this stage of a run.
