Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has reached an estimated $15.5 million in the United States and Canada within six days of release. The gross places it sixth among Indian films in the territory and moves it past RRR, Pushpa 2, Jawan and Animal.
The figure is provisional. Through Monday the film had grossed $13.64 million, according to Venky Box Office. Tuesday’s overseas tracking estimate of $1.85 million to $1.9 million lifts the six-day projection to roughly $15.5 million, with final position subject to consolidation.
A run built on more than opening weekend
Ramayana opened with $3.39 million from premieres and opening day across 1,209 locations, including about $1.9 million from previews. Saturday brought $3.76 million from 1,247 locations, and Sunday took the cumulative weekend beyond $12 million. The more telling sign is the weekday hold: collections continued after the opening frame, which is the kind of momentum that all-time rankings usually require.
In box-office terms, the film is showing legs: holding demand through weekdays rather than front-loading the opening weekend.
Where it sits and what is reachable
Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge remains the highest-grossing Indian film in North America, followed by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and the original Dhurandhar. Kalki 2898 AD and Pathaan are the two titles immediately above Ramayana.
- Six days: an estimated $15.5 million in North America.
- Ranking: sixth all-time among Indian films in the market.
- Next targets: Kalki 2898 AD and Pathaan.
- Wider prize: Dhurandhar 2‘s worldwide gross and the ₹2,000 crore milestone.
Why this matters
North America has become a meaningful overseas engine for Ramayana, not a marginal add-on. The territory’s higher ticket prices can enlarge a global number quickly, and the film’s diaspora support is strong enough to turn it into a central part of the worldwide pursuit. With the second weekend still ahead, the question is no longer whether Ramayana belongs near the top of the chart, but how much further it can climb before the run cools.
