Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s much-awaited film Ramayana: Part One has created history at the international box office. The mythological drama delivered an extraordinary performance on Monday, November 9, recording the biggest Monday collection ever for an Indian film in overseas markets.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film has received a strong response from audiences across India and several international markets. Its impressive weekday performance has further strengthened its position among the biggest Indian film releases of the year.
Record-Breaking Monday Collection Overseas
According to box office estimates, Ramayana: Part One earned more than $3.60 million (approximately Rs 30 crore) in overseas markets on Monday alone.
With this achievement, the film has broken the previous record held by SS Rajamouli’s blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which had collected just under $2.50 million on its first Monday overseas.
The Monday collection is particularly impressive because films usually experience a drop in earnings after the opening weekend. However, Ramayana managed to attract a large number of moviegoers even on a weekday.
Film Crosses Rs 650 Crore Worldwide
The film’s international performance has played a major role in its growing box office total. After five days in theatres, its overseas collection has reached approximately $27.25 million, or around Rs 250-256 crore.
When combined with its Indian collections, the worldwide box office total has crossed the Rs 650 crore mark.
The film has also performed strongly in important markets such as the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. The UAE and several Southeast Asian countries have also reported encouraging numbers.
Strong Competition in International Markets
Ramayana has delivered impressive results in several overseas territories. Its Monday earnings in the United States and United Kingdom were particularly strong.
The film also showed major growth in Australia and the Middle East. In some international markets, its Monday collection even exceeded its opening-day earnings.
This performance has raised expectations about its future box office journey. Trade estimates suggest that the film could move towards the $50 million mark overseas, with the possibility of reaching even higher numbers if its popularity continues to grow.
Ranbir Kapoor and Yash Lead the Epic Drama
The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi plays Goddess Sita. Yash appears as Ravana, bringing a major attraction to the film.
The cast also includes Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, along with several other well-known actors.
The movie is planned as a two-part cinematic adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Its grand scale, popular cast and international release have helped create huge interest among audiences.
What Lies Ahead for Ramayana?
With a record-breaking Monday overseas and more than Rs 650 crore in worldwide earnings within five days, Ramayana: Part One has made a powerful start at the box office.
The film’s performance during the coming days will be important in deciding how far it can go. Its planned releases in additional international markets, including China, Japan and South Korea, could provide another boost to its worldwide earnings.
For now, Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s Ramayana has delivered a historic box office performance and given Indian cinema another major international success story.
