Ramayana Box Office Day 5: Film Earns ₹107.5 Crore Net on Monday, Its Best Day Yet

Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part One did not slow down after the Diwali weekend. The film collected a net ₹107.5 crore in India on its fifth day, Monday 9 November, which is its highest single-day figure so far, according to tracking site Sacnilk as reported by The Week.

That takes the film’s domestic net total to about ₹346.35 crore after five days. Counting gross takings, Sacnilk put the worldwide figure at an estimated ₹638.9 crore, made up of roughly ₹413.9 crore from India and ₹225 crore from overseas markets. The film has therefore entered the ₹600 crore club worldwide inside its first week.

Advance sales for Day 6 also held up. By 10 pm on Monday, pre-booked tickets for Tuesday had crossed ₹43 crore across the PVR, INOX and Cinepolis chains, with 11.09 lakh tickets sold for more than 20,000 shows. Leaving out block bookings, the figure was ₹37.88 crore from 9.72 lakh tickets.

The Hindi version accounts for the bulk of the business, with about ₹33.81 crore of the Day 6 pre-sales. The Kannada, Telugu and Tamil versions added roughly ₹3.94 crore, ₹2.24 crore and ₹1.77 crore respectively.

Wednesday is a holiday in several north Indian states for Bhai Dooj, which could lift ticket sales again midweek. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi.
