Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has stormed past Rs 823 crore at the worldwide box office in just six days, underlining its status as the biggest Indian box-office event of 2026. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, collected Rs 94.10 crore net in India on its sixth day, Tuesday, November 10, taking its six-day domestic net total to Rs 440.45 crore, according to trade tracker Sacnilk.
Released on Thursday, November 5, in the Diwali week, the film’s worldwide gross after six days stands at Rs 823.50 crore, built on Rs 526.50 crore gross in India and Rs 297 crore from overseas markets.
Ramayana day-wise box office: the first six days
The film opened with Rs 64.85 crore net in India on day one, dipped to Rs 48.05 crore on Friday, then recovered over the weekend with Rs 69.80 crore on Saturday and Rs 56.15 crore on Sunday, Diwali day itself. The real surge came after the festival: Monday, November 9, produced Rs 107.50 crore net, the film’s biggest single day so far and a jump of more than 91 percent over Sunday, as extended Diwali holidays kept audiences pouring into cinemas. Tuesday held impressively, slipping only 12.5 percent from that Monday peak.
| Day | Date | India net | India gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Thu, Nov 5 | Rs 64.85 cr | Rs 77.50 cr |
| Day 2 | Fri, Nov 6 | Rs 48.05 cr | Rs 57.30 cr |
| Day 3 | Sat, Nov 7 | Rs 69.80 cr | Rs 83.45 cr |
| Day 4 | Sun, Nov 8 | Rs 56.15 cr | Rs 66.95 cr |
| Day 5 | Mon, Nov 9 | Rs 107.50 cr | Rs 128.70 cr |

| Total (6 days) | Rs 440.45 cr | Rs 526.50 cr |
All figures are trade estimates from Sacnilk and may be revised as final counts arrive. Hindi accounts for Rs 336 crore of the six-day India net total, followed by Kannada (Rs 41.20 crore), Telugu (Rs 33 crore), Tamil (Rs 17.35 crore) and Malayalam (Rs 12.90 crore).
How the trackers differ
Not every tracker agrees on the exact totals, which is normal for a film of this scale. Bollywood Hungama puts day six slightly lower, at Rs 89.67 crore net in India, and its worldwide total at Rs 781.9 crore, against Sacnilk’s Rs 823.50 crore. The gap comes down to different overseas estimates and the pace at which final figures are confirmed. Whichever tracker you follow, the direction is the same: Ramayana is performing at a level far beyond any other Indian release this year, and its six-day worldwide total already places it among the biggest Indian grossers of all time.
What the numbers mean
The scale of the opening is only half the story. Ramayana is also one of the most expensive Indian films ever mounted, and it will need a long, strong run to recover its huge cost. That means its fate will be decided by how it holds in its second week, when the Diwali holiday boost fades and weekday collections are tested without festival support.
Early signs are encouraging for the makers. The film was already collecting strongly through the morning of day seven, Wednesday, November 11, with early estimates of around Rs 7.45 crore net by 10 am IST. A strong second weekend would keep the Rs 1,000-crore worldwide milestone firmly in sight.
What’s next for Ramayana
The film’s immediate challenge is sustaining momentum once the holiday week ends. Its first real competition arrives on November 20, when The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens worldwide. Until then, Ramayana has a clear run at cinemas, and the trade will be watching two numbers closely: the second-weekend hold and the overseas trend, where the film has already collected Rs 297 crore, with North America among its strongest markets.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana: Rise of a Legend stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana in the first part of a two-film adaptation of the epic. At 195 minutes, it is a full-scale spectacle release, and its opening week suggests audiences were willing to turn out in huge numbers for exactly that.
