Ramayana: Rise Of A Legend kept the cash registers ringing on Day 6, adding Rs 94.10 crore nett in India despite a slight dip from Monday. Its global run has been just as formidable, with the film crossing Rs 800 crore gross.
Indian cinema has seen some extraordinary box-office runs, but Ramayana: Rise Of A Legend is making a statement of its own. Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious retelling of the epic has raced past Rs 800 crore worldwide within just six days of its theatrical release, taking its global gross to a staggering Rs 823.50 crore. And it’s not just the speed at which the film is getting there that’s worth watching. Its run across domestic and international markets is beginning to set benchmarks that put it in a league of its own.
Acocording to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film continued its impressive run on Tuesday, coinciding with the Bhai Dooj holiday. It collected Rs 94.10 crore nett in India on Day 6, taking its domestic nett total to Rs 440.45 crore. Its India gross now stands at Rs 526.50 crore, while overseas markets have contributed another Rs 297 crore. Together, that’s a worldwide gross of Rs 823.50 crore in less than a week.
What’s particularly striking is that Ramayana hasn’t slowed down after a massive opening stretch. The film had already recorded what was described as the best Monday in Indian cinema history, and Tuesday brought another strong day at the ticket windows. Festive holidays, discounted weekday tickets and positive word of mouth have all helped keep audiences coming in.
The Tuesday collection was 12.5 per cent lower than Monday’s Rs 107.50 crore, but the film’s overall momentum remains formidable.
Take a look at the day-wise (gross) collection here:

As for the Day 6 breakdown, the film collected Rs 94.10 crore nett across its Indian-language versions. Hindi remained the biggest contributor at Rs 76 crore, followed by Kannada at Rs 7.75 crore. Telugu brought in Rs 4 crore, Tamil contributed Rs 3.60 crore and Malayalam added Rs 2.75 crore. The total came from more than 24,000 shows across the country.
A strong post-Diwali game in North America
The film’s first Monday also brought a major overseas milestone. In North America, it grossed $1.37 million, setting a new record for the highest first-Monday collection by an Indian film in the territory. It went past the benchmark previously held by Dhurandhar 2, with figures reported by Venky Box Office suggesting that Ramayana exceeded the earlier record by around 20.2 per cent.
Interestingly, Dhurandhar: The Revenge had collected around Rs 935 crore worldwide by its sixth day. However, its Day 6 gross stood at approximately Rs 67 crore, considerably lower than Ramayana, which earned a gross of Rs 110 crore plus in India.
That achievement becomes even more interesting when you look at the competition. Ramayana entered overseas cinemas alongside Godzilla Minus Zero, which had a considerable share of premium screens, particularly in North America. Yet the Indian film managed to carve out its own space. Its first-Monday collection also surpassed the corresponding figures for Dangal (Rs 25 crore nett) and Dunki (Rs 24 crore), both of which had the advantage of Christmas holidays.
Back home, the audience response has been just as striking. On Monday, the film was selling around 1.40 lakh tickets an hour on BookMyShow at noon, the highest figure recorded by the platform since it began tracking post-pandemic ticket sales. Even on Tuesday, it was selling approximately 95,000 tickets an hour around 1 pm.
