- Worldwide gross: ₹1,033.55 crore
The 11th film in Indian cinema’s four-digit club
The film entered Thursday needing about ₹55 crore after collecting around ₹945 crore in its first seven days. An estimated ₹85 crore-plus on Day 8 took it past the landmark, making Ramayana only the 11th Indian film to enter the club, according to Sacnilk. It now shares a bracket with Dangal, Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2 and Dhurandhar 2.
Day 9 collections were still unreported at the time of writing, with show count and live estimates unavailable. The advance for Saturday, 14 November, is already visible: 22,235 shows are listed for Day 10, with ₹23.30 crore booked as of 1:00 AM IST on 13 November.
Not an opening-day sprint
The four-digit club is often associated with a massive opening day, but Ramayana did not depend entirely on one. Its Diwali run, nationwide multilingual demand and strong overseas collections built the foundation, and the post-Diwali surge contributed substantially to its early momentum.
For readers who follow Hindi cinema’s history as closely as its present, the milestone matters because it shows a big-canvas Indian epic can enter the global elite through a sustained holiday run rather than a single day’s spike. The coming weekend will test whether that long tail holds.
