Nitesh Tiwari’s much-anticipated mythological film Ramayana has recorded a major milestone at the Indian box office. After performing strongly over its opening weekend, the film witnessed a massive increase in collections on its first Monday, November 9, earning Rs 107.50 crore net in India on Day 5, according to Sacnilk.
Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in leading roles, the film crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in a single day for the first time since its release. With this impressive performance, Ramayana has collected Rs 346.35 crore net and Rs 413.90 crore gross in the domestic market within five days.
The film has also attracted audiences overseas, earning Rs 250 crore in international markets. Its total worldwide gross collection has now reached Rs 663.90 crore.
Ramayana Box Office Collection Day 5: Monday Records Biggest Earnings
Ramayana delivered its highest single-day collection on Monday, November 9, according to Sacnilk. The film earned Rs 107.50 crore net across 23,911 shows in India, registering a significant increase compared with Sunday’s Rs 56.15 crore collection.
The Hindi version remained the biggest contributor, generating Rs 87.25 crore from 19,786 shows. Other language versions also contributed to the film’s overall earnings.
The Kannada version collected Rs 7.50 crore from 908 shows, followed by the Telugu version with Rs 6 crore from 1,606 shows. The Tamil version earned Rs 4 crore across 826 shows, while the Malayalam version added Rs 2.75 crore from 785 shows.
Overseas markets contributed another Rs 25 crore gross on Day 5, taking the total international collection to Rs 250 crore. Combined with India’s gross earnings of Rs 413.90 crore, the film’s worldwide box office total stands at Rs 663.90 crore.
The film’s five-day domestic collection journey has seen several fluctuations. It began its theatrical run on Thursday, November 5, with Rs 64.85 crore net. Collections declined to Rs 48.05 crore on Friday before recovering to Rs 69.80 crore on Saturday.
On Sunday, earnings dropped again to Rs 56.15 crore across 21,770 shows. However, Monday brought a major turnaround, with the film recording its first Rs 100 crore-plus single-day collection.
Ramayana vs Adipurush: How the Two Films Compare
The box office performance of Ramayana has also brought comparisons with Prabhas-starrer Adipurush, which arrived in cinemas in 2023.
Despite facing criticism over its visual effects and dialogues, Adipurush opened with an impressive Rs 86.75 crore net collection in India.
Although Ramayana did not surpass that opening-day figure, its subsequent performance has been considerably different. Adipurush experienced a sharp decline in collections after its opening weekend, earning only Rs 10 crore net in India on its fifth day.
In contrast, Ramayana collected Rs 107.50 crore net on Day 5 alone. This gives Nitesh Tiwari’s film a substantial advantage over Adipurush when comparing their fifth-day box office performances.
