Ramayana Crosses Rs 1,000 Crore Worldwide in 8 Days
The big headline is the worldwide number. With Rs 675.05 crore gross from India and around Rs 358.50 crore from overseas, Ramayana reached Rs 1,033.55 crore in eight days. That makes it the third-fastest Indian film to hit the Rs 1,000 crore mark, behind only Pushpa 2: The Rule and Dhurandhar 2, both of which did it in seven days.

Ramayana Day 9 Box Office: Can It Set a Second Friday Record?
Friday is the film’s first proper test without any holiday help, and the early signs are steady. Advance booking for Day 9 was close to Rs 18 crore gross from 5.79 lakh tickets, and the Hindi version had added Rs 22.35 crore by 6 pm.
Trade estimates put the full day at Rs 40 crore to Rs 44 crore net. At the upper end, that would challenge the biggest second Friday ever for a Hindi film, a record held by Dhurandhar 2 at Rs 42 crore. Pushpa 2 (Rs 37.50 crore) and Baahubali 2 (Rs 37 crore) are next on the list.
The Rs 600 crore net mark in India is now less than Rs 8 crore away and should fall by the end of the day. With Saturday and Sunday expected to bring a fresh jump in footfall, the second weekend will decide how far beyond Rs 700 crore the film can go.
