Ramayana Part One has opened with a thunderous Rs 68 crore nett in India on day one with 3D charges included, delivering one of the biggest starts of 2026. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-led mythological epic has drawn strong support across languages, with the South markets giving the film a major opening-day lift and turning its launch into a nationwide event.
The scale of the opening stands out not just for the total, but for how widely the film has performed across territories. The Hindi version has led the business nationally, while the dubbed versions have added substantial muscle, especially in markets where regional-language preference dominated even in key urban centres.
Day One Push Gets A Big South Boost
Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that Ramayana Part One has collected about Rs 68 crore nett in India on its first day with 3D charges included. The Hindi version has contributed Rs 48 crore nett, while the South-dubbed versions have added Rs 17 crore nett, led by the Kannada version at Rs 8 crore nett.
Karnataka has emerged as the film’s best-performing territory outside the core Hindi belt. The film has pulled in nearly Rs 15 crore gross in the state including 3D charges, a huge result for an opening day and clear evidence of Yash’s pull in the market. The regional versions have also held a strong edge in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, where audience preference tilted decisively toward the dubbed releases.

The Hindi number looks more subdued outside the metros, largely because of the pre-Diwali release window. Ramayana Part One had registered a pre-sale of Rs 23.50 crore nett at the start of the day, but walk-in business in several Hindi circuits stayed limited, keeping the Hindi total below its full potential.
Film Details And Release Scale
