Ramayana's Historic Box Office Performance

There was much speculation about what *Ramayana* could contribute to the box office landscape. The casting choices—Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita—faced considerable backlash. Nevertheless, Nitesh Tiwari’s *Ramayana* premiered in theaters during the Diwali week on November 5, marking a significant moment in Hindi cinema.

The film made history as the first Bollywood production to earn ₹100 crore daily worldwide for an entire week. Recently, Ranbir Kapoor’s *Ramayana* achieved a remarkable milestone—an accomplishment unmatched by any film in the past 113 years.

Record-Breaking Success in South Indian Markets

As reported by Sacnilk, the film—featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash—has garnered a net collection of ₹139.2 crore across four South Indian languages (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam) in just nine days. *Ramayana* is the first Hindi film to exceed the ₹100 crore threshold in the South across these four languages combined. This record was previously held by *Dhurandhar 2*, which had a lifetime collection of ₹68 crore across the same languages.

Earnings Breakdown by Language

In terms of performance by language, the Kannada-dubbed version of *Ramayana* led with ₹51.95 crore. The film also earned ₹40.65 crore in Telugu, ₹24.90 crore in Tamil, and ₹21.70 crore in Malayalam over the nine-day period—setting a record that no other film has achieved to date.

It’s important to highlight that 'Rocking Star' Yash, a prominent figure in Kannada cinema, not only starred in *Ramayana* but also produced its South Indian release. Yash enjoys a substantial fan base in the Kannada-speaking regions.
