The film Ramayana: Part 1 nears ₹600 crore at the box office after its tenth day, demonstrating remarkable performance across multiple languages.
MUMBAI, Nov 14: The Indian film Ramayana: Part 1 has amassed a total net collection of approximately ₹630.83 crore by Day 10, as it continues to perform strongly in theaters. Today alone, the film brought in ₹18.13 crore across its 10,406 shows.
On its tenth day, the Hindi version of Ramayana led the box office with ₹14.63 crore from 9,136 shows, while the Kannada version grossed ₹1.71 crore from 439 shows, the Tamil version made ₹1.18 crore from 484 shows, and the Telugu version earned ₹61 lakh from 347 shows.
Since its release on November 5, Ramayana has quickly established itself as a box office success. It became the 11th Indian film to surpass the ₹1,000 crore mark globally in just eight days. The film grossed ₹1,033.55 crore worldwide by the end of its eighth day, with domestic earnings contributing ₹675.05 crore and overseas totals at ₹358.50 crore, according to trade sources.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana includes a star-studded cast featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. Its cinematic retelling follows Rama’s journey, detailing his birth, marriage, and eventual exile, culminating in Ravana’s abduction of Sita. The film’s first installment concludes with Rama vowing to rescue Sita, setting up the narrative for the next part.
Despite its commercial success, Ramayana has generated mixed reactions regarding its narrative approach. Critics argue that the film’s careful handling of the source material reflects a conscious effort to avoid controversy, resulting in an overly sanitized portrayal of its characters. Some viewers criticized the film for its depiction of Ravana, suggesting that it humanized the character to a degree that undermined the original myth’s moral lessons.
“By depicting a very liberal, socially just & fair Ravan, the film has nullified the basic purpose of Mahavishnu taking the Ram avatar to establish maryada!” said Nitish Bharadwaj, a critic.
As Ramayana draws in audiences, it has also seen significant advance bookings for the following days, indicating continued interest. According to reports, 23,618 shows are listed for Day 11, with ₹33.75 crore already booked by 1:00 PM IST on November 14.
