Ramayana set for seventh straight ₹100 crore worldwide day

Namit Malhotra's Ramayana is on track to extend its historic global streak to seven consecutive ₹100 crore-plus worldwide days, a first for Indian cinema.

Ramayana eyes 7th straight ₹100 crore global day

Mumbai: Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana is closing in on a box-office streak no Indian release has managed before: seven consecutive days of ₹100 crore-plus worldwide gross. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic has already posted six such days from its opening Thursday through Tuesday, according to Sacnilk, and Wednesday’s early estimates point to a seventh.

What the weekday numbers show

For day seven, the film is estimated to finish at ₹105–110 crore worldwide, with overseas contribution pegged at ₹25–30 crore. Domestic collections are projected at roughly ₹65–70 crore net, or about ₹80 crore gross. By 8:03 pm IST, Sacnilk’s live tracker showed ₹57.38 crore net from 21,116 shows, with night-show numbers still to be consolidated.

The global figure remains preliminary, but the direction is consistent: weekday demand is holding after the extended Diwali holiday window.

Why the streak matters

The milestone is less about a single day and more about stamina. According to the report, earlier high-water marks from Dhurandhar 2, Pushpa 2, Baahubali 2 and Jawan stood at four consecutive ₹100 crore-plus worldwide days. Ramayana has already stretched that benchmark to six days, and a seventh would reset the standard for sustained global business in Indian cinema.

For Hindi cinema, the run is a reminder that a film can be both culturally rooted and commercially durable overseas. North America is one example: the film took in $2.01 million on Tuesday, lifting its cumulative there to $15.65 million.

What could keep the momentum going

  • Night-show collections on Wednesday have not been fully added, so the day-seven estimate could firm up.
  • North America’s midweek strength suggests interest is carrying beyond the opening rush.
  • Veterans Day in the US and Remembrance Day in parts of Canada may give midweek attendance an extra lift.

The real test will be whether Ramayana can continue this rhythm into the second weekend, when the holiday tail fades. For now, the film is measuring itself against history rather than against the competition.
