Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological magnum opus Ramayana: Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita, has concluded its opening day at the domestic and international box office, minting an all-India net collection of ₹64.85 crore (₹77.50 crore gross) across 25,200 shows.
Supported by a worldwide opening day gross crossing ₹132 crore including overseas premieres, the Namit Malhotra and Prime Focus-backed epic registered the biggest opening day of 2026. However, it fell short of the historic Day 1 benchmarks set by Adipurush (₹86.75 crore) and Jawan (₹75 crore). Read our detailed cinematic assessment in our Ramayana Movie Review: Ranbir’s Rama & Yash’s Ravana Create an Epic.

04. Weekend Outlook & The Road to Recovery
With an unprecedented reported budget of ₹4,000 crore across the two planned installments produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and Monster Mind Creations, trade analysts point to positive audience word-of-mouth regarding DNEG’s visual effects, Hans Zimmer and A.R.
