Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, has crossed Rs 1,000 crore at the worldwide box office despite a sharp fall in its eighth-day collections in India. According to Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 53.50 crore net across 24,042 shows on Day 8, a 24.3% drop from Day 7's Rs 70.65 crore. The Hindi version contributed Rs 43 crore, followed by Kannada at Rs 3.25 crore, Malayalam at Rs 2.80 crore, Telugu at Rs 2.30 crore and Tamil at Rs 2.15 crore.
With the latest figures, the film has earned Rs 564.60 crore net and Rs 675.05 crore gross in India. Its overseas gross stands at Rs 358.50 crore, taking the worldwide gross to Rs 1,033.55 crore. The film also features Ravi Dubey, Anupam Kher, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, Kunal Kapoor, Arun Govil and Lara Dutta.S1
Despite the milestone, the commercial picture is less clear given the scale of the production. The two-part franchise is reportedly made on a budget of Rs 4,000 crore, with approximately Rs 2,000 crore allocated to Part 1, so the film still has a long way to go before it becomes commercially profitable.S1
The film faces limited immediate competition, with no major Hindi releases scheduled until November 27. Hollywood's Godzilla Minus Zero, however, is set to hit Indian theatres on November 20, 2026, including IMAX screens, and could draw audiences away from Ramayana in premium formats.S1
The Free Press Journal's review called the film a sincere and visually grand attempt at bringing one of India's greatest epics to the big screen. It said Ranbir Kapoor takes some time to settle into his role, while Yash is an absolute standout as Ravana, and praised the impressive VFX, good direction and engaging storytelling that make the 3-hour-15-minute runtime feel manageable. The music and a few performances were judged less impactful.S1
