Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 has crossed the Rs 200 crore worldwide mark in two days, but the second-day trajectory already signals that the hold will be watched as closely as the opening.
Early estimates from Sacnilk.com, cited by The Economic Times, put Day 2 India net collection at Rs 48.05 crore across 23,316 shows. That lifts the two-day India net total to Rs 112.90 crore and India gross to Rs 134.80 crore.
The film is the first chapter of a two-part adaptation of the ancient Indian epic. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, Yash plays Ravana, and Sunny Deol appears as Hanuman. Produced by Namit Malhotra, it released worldwide on November 5, 2026.
The language split
The Hindi version led Day 2 with Rs 35.50 crore, followed by Kannada and Telugu. The full break-up:
- Hindi: Rs 35.50 crore
- Kannada: Rs 5.15 crore
- Telugu: Rs 4.75 crore
- Tamil: Rs 1.50 crore
- Malayalam: Rs 1.15 crore
The split matters because a pan-India epic lives or dies on regional sampling. Kannada and Telugu together contributed Rs 9.90 crore on Day 2, which is notable beyond the Hindi core.
Worldwide math and the drop
Overseas added Rs 35 crore on Day 2, taking two-day overseas gross to Rs 86.25 crore. Combine that with India gross and the worldwide total stands at Rs 221.05 crore.
The caution is in the trajectory: Day 2 India net fell 25.9% from the Rs 64.85 crore opening day. Reports note the film still lags behind Adipurush. The drop is not a verdict; it is the first test of whether the film can hold into the Diwali weekend.
What the number means
For buyers, net collection is the India figure after taxes, while gross includes taxes and is used in worldwide totals. The overseas share of Rs 86.25 crore means international markets are already doing meaningful work, and the Diwali weekend will show whether family audiences reverse or extend the Day 2 dip.
All eyes are now on the film’s performance over the Diwali weekend. Two days establish scale; the weekend decides whether Ramayana: Part 1 trades as a long-running theatrical event or a front-loaded one.
