KATHMANDU: Director Nitesh Tiwari’s film Ramayana is witnessing a historic box office performance on its fifth day. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, the film has recorded a gross collection of Rs 53 crore through advance bookings alone for Monday, Nov. 9.
According to the final report, the film has secured Rs 45 crore in net pre-sales, excluding blocked seats. Over 14.28 lakh tickets have been sold across 25,300 active shows in India. The film has seen 289 houseful shows for Monday morning and afternoon slots, with an additional 92 shows completely sold out. Premium formats, including 3D, IMAX and 4DX, have contributed significantly to this momentum.
With these pre-sales, the film is positioned to challenge the all-time record for the biggest first Monday net collection in Bollywood history, currently held by Dhurandhar 2 with Rs 60 crore. Other notable first Monday performers include Animal with Rs 40.06 crore, Gadar 2 with Rs 38.7 crore and Stree 2 with Rs 38.1 crore.
By securing Rs 45 crore net before accounting for over-the-counter walk-in footfalls, Ramayana has guaranteed a spot near the top of the all-time first Monday collections. Industry projections suggest that afternoon and evening walk-in sales will likely push the day five net collection past the record set by Dhurandhar 2. This performance marks the highest-grossing film of Sai Pallavi’s career, the second-highest for Yash and the fourth-highest for Ranbir Kapoor.
