Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayanam crosses Rs 500 crore worldwide in four days

Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayanam continues to perform strongly at the box office. Counted among the most expensive Indian films ever made in Bollywood, it has set new earnings records since its release. Another big record was added on Diwali, as the film crossed Rs 500 crore worldwide in just four days and also surpassed the Rs 393 crore worldwide earnings of Prabhas's Adipurush.

The film opened to housefull shows on the first day, earning Rs 64.85 crore net in India. Given the film's heavy budget, the figure may look modest, but it is the fourth-biggest opening in Bollywood history.

Earnings dipped slightly on Friday, the day after the opening, when the film collected Rs 48 crore. Saturday saw a good jump, with the film earning about Rs 70 crore net. This took Ramayanam's total net earnings in India over the first three days to Rs 183 crore.

Sunday was Diwali, and there was concern that cinemas in some parts of the country would see thinner crowds. The film proved those estimates wrong, earning Rs 56.15 crore net in India on the fourth day.

Among films released on the Diwali weekend, Ramayanam has set a new record. By 9 pm on Sunday, it had broken the record for the highest Diwali-day earnings, held by Salman Khan's Tiger 3. Tiger 3 was released on Diwali in 2023 and earned Rs 44.50 crore net.

After four days, Ramayanam's net earnings in India stand at Rs 238.85 crore, while its gross earnings in India are Rs 285.20 crore. Worldwide earnings have crossed the Rs 500 crore mark. Audiences are now watching to see how many more records the film claims in the coming days.
