Ramayana Crosses ₹1,000 Crore Worldwide in 8 Days: Ranbir Kapoor's Epic Is the Third-Fastest Indian Film to the Milestone

Ramayana 1000 crore is now official. Nitesh Tiwari's epic crossed ₹1,000 crore in worldwide gross on its eighth day in theatres, Thursday, November 12, 2026, becoming only the 11th Indian film ever to enter the ₹1,000 crore club — and the third-fastest film to get there. Trade tracker Sacnilk puts the film's worldwide total at ₹1,033.55 crore after eight days.

Ramayana Day 8 Box Office: How the ₹1,000 Crore Mark Fell

The film entered its eighth day at ₹944.55 crore worldwide after seven days, needing roughly ₹55 crore more. Day 8 delivered. Sacnilk estimates the film grossed ₹85+ crore worldwide on Thursday, comfortably clearing the mark. In India, Sacnilk reports a Day 8 net of ₹53.50 crore — Hindi ₹43.00 crore, Kannada ₹3.25 crore, Malayalam ₹2.80 crore, Telugu ₹2.30 crore and Tamil ₹2.15 crore — taking the all-India net to ₹564.60 crore and the India gross to ₹675.05 crore. Day 8's ₹53.50 crore net is a 24.3% drop from Day 7's ₹70.65 crore, but the weekday dip did not matter. Overseas, Day 8 added ₹25 crore, taking the international total to ₹358.50 crore. Every tracker agrees on the headline: the ₹1,000 crore line has been crossed. Sacnilk also counts more than 2.18 crore footfalls for the film so far.

The run has been built on an extraordinary first week. Ramayana opened to ₹128 crore worldwide on its first day and collected ₹507 crore across its four-day opening weekend, despite the Diwali festivities initially curbing footfalls. The real surge came from Monday onward, as audiences flocked to cinemas during the Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj holidays, with back-to-back days of huge collections carrying the film to a record first-week haul. Monday, Day 5, was the biggest single day in India, with ₹107.50 crore net — ₹128.70 crore gross — up 91.5% on Sunday.

Third-Fastest Indian Film to ₹1,000 Crore

Speed is what makes this milestone stand out. Only Pushpa 2: The Rule and Dhurandhar 2 reached ₹1,000 crore faster, doing it within their first week; Ramayana took eight days. Baahubali 2, the previous benchmark for an epic of this scale, needed around 10 days. The 11 films in the club now include Dangal (₹2070.30 crore), Dhurandhar 2 (₹1813.39 crore), Baahubali 2 (₹1788.06 crore), Pushpa 2 (₹1742.10 crore), Dhurandhar (₹1307.35 crore), RRR (₹1230 crore), KGF Chapter 2 (₹1215 crore), Jawan (₹1160 crore), Pathaan (₹1055 crore) and Kalki 2898 AD (₹1042.25 crore) — and now Ramayana at ₹1,033.55 crore and climbing.

It is also a milestone for the scale of the production. Ramayana is reportedly one of the most expensive Indian films ever mounted, with reported budget figures running into thousands of crores — and the worldwide gross has now crossed the ₹1,000 crore mark in just eight days.

Ranbir Kapoor's First ₹1,000 Crore Film

For Ranbir Kapoor, the milestone is a career first. His previous biggest worldwide grosser, Animal, finished below the four-digit mark, and Ramayana has now taken him into a new commercial league. The film's ensemble — Sai Pallavi opposite Kapoor, and Yash in a pivotal role — has helped it travel across languages and markets, with strong multilingual demand at home and a robust overseas run. Produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios with DNEG and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is the first chapter of a planned two-part epic.

What's Next for Ramayana

With the extended opening week drawing to a close, attention now turns to the second weekend, when the film will look to build on its historic start without the same festive holiday support. Advance bookings are already strong: Sacnilk lists 23,982 shows for Day 9, Friday, November 13, with ₹21.91 crore already booked as of 3:00 AM IST. The second chapter is already in motion: Part 2 is reportedly around 60% shot and targeting a Diwali 2028 release. For now, though, the headline is settled — in eight days, Ramayana has done what only ten Indian films had done before it.
