The grand cinematic spectacle Ramayana: Part One has taken movie halls by storm, earning an impressive ₹127 crore gross worldwide on its very first day. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, this mega-budget retelling of the timeless Indian epic has drawn crowds across both domestic and overseas markets.
A Dream Star Cast Brings the Epic to Life
One of the main reasons for the massive buzz around the film is its powerhouse cast. Ranbir Kapoor steps into the role of Lord Rama with calmness and grace, while Sai Pallavi portrays Sita with emotional depth. Rocking Star Yash appears in a commanding avatar as Ravana, bringing immense star power to the screen. The film also features Sunny Deol and Ravie Dubey in key roles, turning the project into a true pan-India experience.
Big Numbers at Home Despite Festive Rush
Releasing right ahead of the Diwali festivities, Ramayana: Part One had to battle pre-holiday shopping crowds and busy schedules. Despite this, fans lined up outside theatres early in the morning. In India, the film enjoyed packed morning shows across multiple languages, putting up solid numbers in both single screens and luxury multiplexes. Audiences have praised the visual effects, grand sets, and background score that bring ancient kingdoms to life.
Flying High in Overseas Theatres
The overseas market played a major role in pushing the Day 1 tally past the ₹125 crore mark. The movie scored big in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Gulf regions. International viewers have turned up in large numbers, making it one of the widest global releases ever seen for an Indian production. Trade experts note that the overseas reception has given the film a strong foundation to build on.
What Lies Ahead for the Box Office
Hitting ₹127 crore on a normal working Thursday is a massive achievement. With positive word-of-mouth spreading quickly, cinema halls are expecting a huge jump over Friday and the upcoming weekend. The film is set to enjoy a long, uninterrupted festive holiday period, which will likely give ticket sales another big boost. If the current trend continues, Ramayana: Part One is poised to set several box office records before its theatrical run ends.
