Ramayana has become the first Indian production to sustain worldwide grosses above Rs 100 crore for six consecutive days. According to trade estimates from Pinkvilla, the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer has collected Rs 808 crore globally in six days, while adding at least Rs 100 crore on each day of its run so far.
That changes how the film’s commercial run should be read. A massive opening is not new for an event picture; what is new is the consistency that has followed.
Six days, one record
The Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic opened at Rs 128 crore worldwide. A softer second day followed at Rs 103 crore, before the film climbed again.
- Day 1: Rs 128 crore
- Day 2: Rs 103 crore
- Day 3: Rs 153 crore
- Day 4: Rs 123 crore, despite Laxmi Puja
- Day 5: Rs 160 crore
- Day 6: Rs 142 crore
The sequence matters because the film has not relied on a single record-breaking spike. Day five was the biggest so far at Rs 160 crore, yet the following day still held well above the Rs 100-crore mark.
Where the record sits in history
Before Ramayana, four consecutive Rs 100-crore-plus global days was the benchmark, reached by Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Pushpa 2: The Rule, Jawan and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Ramayana has now gone two days beyond that mark.
For an audience that watches Hindi cinema’s commercial and cultural history closely, the streak is the insight. A front-loaded film can deliver one or two mammoth days; six days above Rs 100 crore point to repeat viewing, overseas stability and audience word-of-mouth.
What to watch next
Pinkvilla expects another Rs 100 crore-plus day today, which would stretch the run to seven. If that holds, the record will be even harder for the next big-ticket release to match.
The figures remain trade estimates rather than final certified accounts, so the exact day-seven number matters less than the direction: Ramayana is still holding at a level no Indian film has sustained.
