Ramayana has added a major new overseas milestone to its theatrical run. The Ranbir Kapoor-led epic opened to nearly $100,000 on day one in Indonesia, delivering the biggest opening day ever recorded by an Indian film in the territory and turning the market into one of the film’s most striking early international wins.
What makes the debut stand out even more is the speed of the surge. With more than 1,000 shows and around 9,000 tickets sold on the first day, Ramayana entered Indonesia at a scale that few Indian films have managed there. Its opening-day haul has already gone past the full-run business of several notable Indian releases in the country, leaving only the biggest Shah Rukh Khan titles in a higher long-term bracket.
Ramayana has more than 1000 shows listed for Day 1 in Indonesia. Solid presales with more than 29K tickets sold for opening day by 7 PM. Recent biggies like Jawan had 221 shows and Pathaan around 264 shows.
Indonesia Opening Sets A New Benchmark
The number gives Ramayana a clear commercial distinction in the market. This was not a slow-burn opening built on limited screens and later word of mouth. It arrived with width, strong occupancy from the start, and the kind of immediate response that places it in genuine event-film territory.

That opening also sharpens the conversation around the film’s overseas trajectory. A near $100K first day in Indonesia is the kind of start that can create sustained momentum over the coming days, especially for a title already commanding attention across multiple international circuits.
Film has crossed 900 crore worldwide gross today with almost 500 crore nett in India and 300 crore gross overseas.
Strong Overseas Push For Ramayana
Indonesia now joins the list of territories boosting Ramayana’s international run in a meaningful way. The film has already emerged as one of the biggest Hindi releases of 2026 in overseas play, and this latest benchmark adds fresh muscle to its global box office profile.
The scale of the response fits the film’s packaging. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshmana. Released worldwide on November 5, 2026, the mythological action drama arrived as a full-scale theatrical event, with its visual ambition and epic canvas driving audience curiosity well beyond India.
Cast, Director And Film Details
The film draws from one of India’s most enduring epics and centres on the core conflict between Rama, Sita and Ravana. That familiarity, paired with a star-led presentation and large-format spectacle, has given Ramayana a strong theatrical identity in overseas markets looking for event cinema.
For a film mounted on this scale, Indonesia’s start is more than a headline figure. It widens the map of its overseas strength, deepens its box office runway, and confirms that Ramayana is building into a genuinely broad global performer.
