"Ramayana: Part 1," a new film based on the ancient epic, was released worldwide on November 5, 2026. The movie features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. It is the first part of a two-part series, with the second part reportedly planned for Diwali 2028.
The film has quickly achieved significant success, reportedly crossing the ₹500 crore mark in worldwide gross collections by its fourth day, November 8, 2026. Its total worldwide gross reached ₹507.20 crore within this period. This performance allowed it to surpass the lifetime global earnings of "Adipurush," another recent film adaptation of the epic.
In India, the film's net collection reached ₹238.85 crore by its fourth day. The Hindi version was the main contributor, accounting for ₹172.75 crore, which is about 72.3% of the India net collection. The Kannada and Telugu versions also contributed significantly, with ₹25.95 crore and ₹23 crore respectively. Tamil and Malayalam versions added ₹9.75 crore and ₹7.40 crore.
Initially, overseas collections did not exceed $6 million, even with a wide international release across 59,000 screens by Sony Pictures. However, positive word-of-mouth helped the film gain momentum, leading to its biggest single-day collection on Saturday, November 7, and a strong performance on Sunday, November 8. The film collected ₹56.15 crore from 21,770 shows in Hindi on its fourth day.
For actor Yash, "Ramayana: Part 1" has become the second highest-grossing film of his career worldwide, after "K.G.F: Chapter 2." For Ranbir Kapoor, it is his third highest-grossing film worldwide, behind "Animal" and "Sanju," and has surpassed "Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva."
