After Saturday’s gains, the three-day worldwide gross reached ₹375.50 crore. Overseas cinemas benefited from regular weekend crowds as audiences in India prepared for Diwali.
Sunday brings a fresh test for the film in India. Diwali celebrations could affect evening and night shows. The Monday holiday could bring more families to cinemas after the festival. The coming days will show whether audiences keep turning up after the advance booking rush.
This is the first part of Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash. The two movies are reportedly made with ₹4,000 crore. The sequel is set for release in Diwali 2027.
