The film collected ₹53.50 crore net in India, down approximately 24 per cent from Wednesday’s ₹70.65 crore, according to Sacnilk. With this, the film’s cumulative domestic net collection stands at ₹564.60 crore and its India gross collection has reached ₹675.05 crore.
Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, Ramayana is a big-budget adaptation of the ancient Indian epic. The first instalment of the two-part film released on November 5 ahead of Diwali.
The film’s domestic performance on Day 8 was led by its Hindi version, which contributed ₹43 crore net across 19,464 shows. The Kannada version collected ₹3.25 crore, followed by Malayalam at ₹2.80 crore, Telugu at ₹2.30 crore and Tamil at ₹2.15 crore. Across all five languages, the film recorded collections of ₹53.50 crore net from 24,042 shows.
Overseas, Ramayana collected another ₹25 crore on Day 8, taking its cumulative overseas gross to ₹358.50 crore. Its worldwide gross collection has now crossed the ₹1,000 crore mark, standing at ₹1,033.55 crore. However, Sacnilk qualified these numbers as rough estimates. It
The film’s performance graph has invited comparisons with the biggest Indian grosser of the year, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. At the same point in its theatrical run, Dhurandhar: The Revenge had accumulated ₹1,078.29 crore worldwide, including ₹807.29 crore in India gross and ₹271 crore overseas. While Ramayana has recorded a higher overseas gross of ₹358.50 crore, its worldwide total trails the Aditya Dhar-directed film by approximately ₹44.74 crore. Its domestic net collection of ₹564.60 crore behind Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s ₹674.17 crore at the end of Day 8.
It is worth noting that, much like Ramayana, Dhurandhar was spit in two parts. Revenge was the second film in the duology, and benefited from the popularity and craze of the first instalment, which was released not long before in late 2025.
The second instalment of Ramayana will be released on Diwali, 2028. The makers have pushed the concluding chapter by two years owing its complex visual effects and scale. According to the makers, Part 2 will feature more CGI characters and epic battles.
