Day 9: Biggest Second Friday for a Hindi Film
Friday was the film’s first day without any holiday support, and it passed the test comfortably. Ramayana collected Rs 47.85 crore net on Day 9, a drop of only about 10% from Thursday. That is higher than the Rs 42 crore that Dhurandhar 2 earned on its second Friday, which was the record until now.
The Hindi version contributed Rs 36.25 crore on Friday. The Malayalam version was again the best performer in terms of occupancy at over 60%, and it collected more than the Kannada, Tamil and Telugu versions on the day. In ten days, the Hindi version alone has gone past Rs 495 crore net and is set to cross Rs 500 crore on Saturday.
| Language | India net (9 days) |
|---|---|
| Hindi | Rs 473.25 crore |
| Kannada | Rs 51.95 crore |
| Telugu | Rs 40.65 crore |
| Tamil | Rs 24.90 crore |
| Malayalam | Rs 21.70 crore |
Ramayana Day 10 Box Office: Second Saturday Jump Begins
The weekend jump was visible even before the first show. Advance booking for Day 10 stood at Rs 38.19 crore gross from 11.43 lakh tickets, well ahead of Friday’s pre-sales. 3D shows brought in over Rs 22 crore of that, and Bengaluru overtook Delhi NCR and Mumbai as the top city for the day.
Occupancy tells the same story. Hindi 3D shows were running at around 57% in the afternoon, while the Kannada and Tamil 3D versions were above 73%. By 3 pm, the Hindi version had added Rs 21.89 crore, followed by Kannada at Rs 2.13 crore and Tamil at Rs 1.64 crore.
With the busiest shows of the day still ahead, the film looks set to finish well above Friday’s number. The biggest second Saturday for a Hindi film belongs to Dhurandhar 2 at Rs 58 crore, followed by Dhurandhar (Rs 53 crore) and Chhaava (Rs 44 crore). Ramayana should enter that top three, though the record itself will depend on how the night shows perform.
Overseas, the film has added around Rs 378.50 crore so far. With Sunday still to come, Rs 700 crore net in India is likely to arrive early next week.
