MUMBAI, November 13, 2026 — Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic *Ramayana: Rise of a Legend* has crossed the Rs 1,000 crore worldwide gross mark in eight days, reaching an estimated Rs 1,033.55 crore globally as of Thursday, November 12, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. The film becomes the 11th Indian title to enter the club and the third-fastest to do so, trailing only *Pushpa 2: The Rule* and *Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge*, both of which managed the feat in seven days.
Domestic Milestones
The India gross stands at Rs 675.05 crore, with a domestic net collection of Rs 564.60 crore after eight days. That net figure has already surpassed the lifetime India totals of *Pathaan* (Rs 544.28 crore) and *Animal* (Rs 556.36 crore), Ranbir Kapoor’s previous career-best. On Day 8, a Thursday, the film collected an estimated Rs 53.50 crore net across languages, a 24 per cent drop from Wednesday’s Rs 70.65 crore but a figure still associated with opening weekends for most releases.
The Hindi version leads the domestic tally with Rs 437 crore net. The dubbed versions have held strongly: Kannada at Rs 48.95 crore, Telugu at Rs 38.05 crore, Tamil at Rs 22.15 crore, and Malayalam at Rs 18.45 crore. For all the noise around the Hindi belt, the multilingual spread is the salient point.
Overseas Outperformance
Overseas markets have contributed Rs 358.50 crore (approximately $38 million), driven by record starts in territories where the epic is, it would seem, less mythology than history.
Vietnam, notably, has been the outlier. The country hosts a 1,300-year-old temple to Valmiki and teaches the epic in university literature curricula. Nepal has yielded NPR 12.80 crore (Rs 8 crore) already, placing the film sixth all-time for Indian releases there and on track to overtake *Baahubali 2*’s NPR 25.20 crore record.
Pace and Context
The eight-day sprint to Rs 1,000 crore worldwide outpaces *Baahubali 2* (10-11 days), *RRR* (16 days), *Jawan* (18 days) and *Pathaan*. Only the two seven-day entrants sit ahead. The film opened to Rs 64.85 crore net on November 5 before a Diwali holiday surge pushed single-day hauls to Rs 107.50 crore (Day 5) and Rs 94.10 crore (Day 6).
Cast and Continuation
Directed by Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Sunny Deol appears as Hanuman in a post-credits scene, setting up the second instalment of the planned duology. Part two is scheduled for Diwali 2028.
