Ramayana has delivered a powerful opening week at the Indian box office, collecting an impressive ₹452.73 crore from its Hindi version alone. However, the film’s business followed an interesting pattern, with its biggest gains coming after Diwali. While the pre-festival period saw relatively slower collections, the arrival of Diwali festivities brought a major turnaround, contributing more than 61% of the film’s extended first-week earnings.
Ramayana Witnesses a Massive Post-Diwali Box Office Turnaround
The film had a mixed start during its first four days, from Thursday to Sunday, collecting ₹175.25 crore. This period accounted for 38.71% of its extended Week 1 business.
However, collections surged from Monday onwards as Diwali festivities began. Between Monday and Thursday, Ramayana earned ₹277.48 crore, contributing 61.29% of its total first-week collection.
The contrast between the two phases highlights how significantly the festive period boosted the film’s box office performance.

Weekend 2 Becomes Crucial for Ramayana
After benefiting significantly from the post-Diwali festive period, Ramayana now faces an important test. Its second weekend will be crucial in determining whether it can maintain its strong momentum beyond the festival-driven boost.
With an extended Week 1 total of ₹452.73 crore, expectations are high. All eyes are now on the film’s Weekend 2 performance and whether it can continue attracting audiences in large numbers.
