Despite its massive scale and record-wide release, Ramayana may miss the top five biggest Indian film openings, though it is still expected to enjoy a strong box-office debut.
Ramayana box office prediction day 1
According to Sacnilk, despite initial booking delays due to revenue-sharing disputes, Ramayana has gained momentum, collecting ₹77 crore in domestic advance bookings and $5.6 million overseas. Its global pre-sales have reached approximately ₹125 crore, including paid previews.
Ramayana has earned ₹33 crore in domestic opening-day pre-sales and could deliver an ₹80-crore net debut, driven largely by its Hindi version.
Overseas, strong North American previews have raised expectations of a ₹150–160 crore global opening, with ₹200 crore appearing increasingly unlikely.
Ramayana is likely to miss the ₹200-crore opening mark, potentially falling short of Pushpa 2, RRR and Dhurandhar 2, but could surpass KGF Chapter 2.
