Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has stormed past the $100 million mark worldwide in under two weeks, delivering one of the biggest global wins for an Indian film in 2026. The milestone puts Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic in a league of its own this year among international releases outside China, and confirms that the film’s theatrical pull is extending far beyond its home market.
The Latest Box Office Milestone
By November 12, 2026, the film had crossed $100 million globally, becoming the first international film outside China to reach that figure this year. It got there ahead of Japan’s Godzilla Minus Zero, underlining the pace of its overseas run across North America, the UK, Australia, the Middle East and parts of Southeast Asia.
North America led that charge with $12.2 million, one of the biggest openings ever for an Indian title in the territory. The UK added roughly $3 million in its opening weekend, while the UAE contributed about $2.2 million and Australia delivered around $1.9 million. Germany also crossed $625,000, showing that the film is finding an audience well beyond the traditional diaspora strongholds.
A Global Rollout Still In Motion
That $100 million haul has arrived even before the film completes its full international rollout, giving the next phase of its run added significance. With strong early momentum already in place, the expansion now shifts from an impressive launch to a broader test of staying power across new territories.
