Diwali may be over, butRamayanais showing little appetite for a post-festival slowdown.
According to box-office estimates, the Nitesh Tiwari directorial collected Rs 107.50 crore net in India on Monday, November 9. The film’s day sixcollection also marked its biggest single-day performance so far.
Ramayana is targeting approximately Rs 110 crore India gross and Rs 35-40 crore overseas on Tuesday, November 10, according to early estimates. The film’s box office in five days is estimated at over Rs 675 crore worldwide, including Rs 413.90 crore from India and Rs 262 crore from overseas. Its six-day worldwide total is expected around Rs 825 crore.
The film is doing very well in India and is tracking in line with our expectations, Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Executive Director at PVR INOX Limited, told Moneycontrol.
“We expect Ramayana to deliver around one crore admissions across our cinemas by the end of this month. So far, it has already recorded 40 lakh admissions across our circuit,” he added.
The film’s day five performance just after Diwali has been a major milestone. Its Rs 107.50-crore India net collection made it only the second Bollywood film afterDhurandhar 2to cross Rs 100 crore net in a single day.
The film’s fifth and sixth day collections together contributed nearly Rs 200 crore to its domestic box-office tally, underlining its ability to sustain the Diwali surge beyond the holiday weekend. It is now closing in on the Rs 1,000-crore worldwide milestone.
The film’s Hindi version alone contributed Rs 87.25 crore net on day five, among the biggest single-day collections for a Hindi film.
The box-office performance has been matched by an equally impressive run on ticket-booking platform BookMyShow.
Ramayanahas become the first Indian film to sell more than one million tickets on BookMyShow for six consecutive days, according to movie data platform Sacnilk. The film is also on course to become the first title to cross the million-ticket mark on the platform on seven separate days.
Its biggest booking day came on day five, when it sold approximately 16.60 lakh tickets on BookMyShow. This surpassedDhurandhar 2‘s previous Bollywood single-day record of 16.40 lakh tickets and set a new benchmark for an Indian film on the platform. The film also reportedly crossed 1.40 lakh bookings in a single hour.
The scale of the advance bookings had already signalled strong audience interest ahead of its release.
Ashish Saksena, COO – Cinemas, BookMyShow, said that the film sold nearly one million tickets on the platform before its release, making it the biggest movie title on BookMyShow during the pre-Diwali period.
Hindi accounted for nearly three-fourths of the advance ticket sales. However, the dubbed Kannada and Telugu versions also recorded strong demand, pointing to growing acceptance of big-ticket cinematic experiences across language markets.
Premium formats also played a significant role in the film’s advance business. Saksena said nearly one in five tickets booked was for a premium format such as IMAX, 3D, 4D, Dolby and EPIQ.
“This points towards the maturing of language markets for big, cinematic experiences. Premium formats like IMAX, 3D, 4D, DOLBY and EPIQ are also contributing disproportionately to ticket value. With every one in five tickets booked being a premium one, this further highlights the critical role of high-grade premium viewing experiences in a film’s advance business,” he had said.
Beyond India: IMAX and overseas records
The film’s performance has extended well beyond the domestic market.Ramayanarecorded the biggest reported worldwide IMAX opening for an Indian film, generating approximately $6 million during its extended opening weekend. India contributed around $2 million, while North American IMAX screenings accounted for approximately $2.5 million, according to reports.
It has also set opening records for an Indian film in markets such as Thailand, the Netherlands, and South Africa, widening its overseas footprint.
