The epic film Ramayana: Part 1, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, has achieved a significant milestone, crossing the ₹1,100 crore mark at the worldwide box office by its ninth day. This impressive performance places it in an elite category, having already surpassed the lifetime global earnings of Shah Rukh Khan's 2023 blockbuster, Pathaan. The film is now setting its sights on another major target: the lifetime collections of Khan's other massive hit, Jawan.
Global and Domestic Box Office Triumphs
As of its second Friday, Ramayana: Part 1 has maintained strong momentum. Its net domestic earnings reached ₹612.50 crore, contributing to a gross domestic total of ₹732.30 crore. This includes a robust ₹47.85 crore on its ninth day alone, building on its first-week collection of ₹564.60 crore. The film's success is also reflected in its substantial overseas box office contribution, which stands at ₹378.50 crore, bringing the grand worldwide total to ₹1,110.70 crore.
Language-Specific Performance
The film's domestic success is broadly distributed across multiple languages. The Hindi version leads with ₹473.25 crore in net earnings. Other language versions have also performed strongly: Kannada garnered ₹51.95 crore, Telugu ₹40.65 crore, Tamil ₹24.90 crore, and Malayalam ₹21.70 crore. This multi-language appeal underscores its wide reach across India.
Chasing 'Jawan's' Record
With its current trajectory, Ramayana: Part 1 has already outpaced Pathaan, which concluded its global run with ₹1,055 crore. The next benchmark is Jawan, which earned a lifetime worldwide total of ₹1,160 crore. Industry analysts predict that given its sustained performance, Ramayana: Part 1 is well-positioned to challenge and potentially exceed Jawan's record in the coming days.
Anticipated Weekend Boost
The film is expected to see a further surge in collections over its second weekend. Advance bookings for its tenth day indicate strong audience interest, with 11.43 lakh tickets sold across 24,535 shows, generating ₹38.19 crore. Key states contributing significantly to these advance sales include Karnataka (₹6.28 crore), Maharashtra (₹6.07 crore), Delhi (₹4.86 crore), Kerala (₹3.59 crore), Tamil Nadu (₹3.03 crore), and Telangana (₹2.07 crore).
City-Wise Contributions
Major cities are also driving the film's continued success. Bengaluru leads with ₹5.02 crore in advance bookings for day 10, followed closely by the National Capital Region (₹4.86 crore), Mumbai (₹3.76 crore), Hyderabad (₹1.75 crore), Chennai (₹1.51 crore), and Pune (₹1.26 crore). These figures highlight the widespread anticipation for Ramayana: Part 1 as it continues its impressive run.
