Ramayana Part One has opened with the kind of box office thunder that instantly changes the conversation around a film. Led by Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, the mythological epic amassed Rs 500 crore worldwide in its extended opening weekend, powered by a huge India haul and a commanding overseas debut that has put the film firmly in the top tier of Hindi cinema launches.
India contributed Rs 280.50 crore across the opening weekend, while overseas markets added USD 23.25 million, or roughly Rs 219.50 crore. More importantly, the film has shown breadth across territories, not just strength in one or two traditional markets, which gives its global run far more staying power heading into the weekdays.
Overseas Run Delivers Major Momentum
The biggest international market for Ramayana Part One was the United States, where it collected USD 9.175 million across the long opening weekend. The United Kingdom emerged as another standout territory, with the film setting a new opening record for Indian cinema there through an extended weekend gross of GBP 2.20 million.
Canada added USD 2.275 million, while the Middle East brought in USD 2.675 million. Australia contributed USD 1.885 million, and the film also found strong traction across Asian circuits. Thailand grossed USD 550,000, Singapore added USD 375,000, Malaysia collected USD 325,000, and Vietnam delivered USD 200,000. The spread across these markets signals that the film’s appeal is travelling well beyond the standard star-driven overseas centres.

That wide international response also gives the opening a bigger meaning than a one-weekend headline. A film rooted in one of India’s most enduring epics has connected strongly across diaspora-heavy territories as well as Southeast Asian markets where the Ramayana carries deep cultural familiarity.

Franchise Scale Comes Into Focus
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana Part One stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey and Sunny Deol. The film adapts the early arc of the ancient epic, following Prince Rama’s life into the beginning of his exile, and its first chapter has clearly landed with audiences on a scale the makers would have hoped for from a tentpole event film.
What stands out from this opening is not just the raw total, but the shape of the response. The film has drawn strongly in India, posted elite numbers in North America and the United Kingdom, and shown breakout signs in newer international pockets. That combination gives the franchise a strong launchpad as it moves into its next phase.
Ranbir Kapoor And Yash’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Ranbir Kapoor, Ramayana Part One follows Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and the blockbuster Animal, both released in 2023. Yash, who also serves as producer here, continues his run of large-scale event cinema after the blockbuster success of K.G.F: Chapter 2.
Both stars are expected to remain central to the franchise’s long-term box office pull, with Ramayana Part 2 already looming as a major follow-up title. If the current trend holds, this opening weekend may end up being remembered not simply for the Rs 500 crore milestone, but for establishing Ramayana Part One as a film with genuine global legs.
