Ramayana has delivered one of its most eye-catching overseas starts in Thailand, where the film pulled in $550,000 over its opening weekend and immediately reset the benchmark for an Indian title in the market. The number is especially striking because the previous high-water mark for Indian films in Thailand had been far lower, making this a clean breakout rather than a narrow record chase.
Thailand Opening Sets A New Benchmark
The Thailand number stands at $550,000 for the opening weekend, with Ramayana: Rise of A Legend topping the country’s weekend chart after opening on Thursday, November 5, 2026. That total already places the film in a different league from earlier Indian releases in the territory and underlines the scale of its launch.
What makes the start even more notable is the gap it appears to have opened over the previous Indian film benchmark in Thailand. Pathaan, which had emerged as a key overseas performer for Hindi cinema in 2023, was associated with a Thailand total around the $100,000 mark. Against that backdrop, Ramayana has crossed that territory in a single weekend and done so with considerable distance to spare.
A Huge Jump Over Earlier Indian Releases
That contrast is the real story here. Thailand has not traditionally been counted among the biggest overseas destinations for Hindi films, which is why a $550,000 debut matters. This is not just another strong international launch. It signals that Ramayana has managed to convert pre-release curiosity into actual theatrical pull in a market where Indian films have usually operated on a much smaller scale.

The weekend result also suggests that the film has found traction beyond the core diaspora audience. For a title mounted on this scale, overseas momentum in emerging markets can become a major talking point, and Thailand has now turned into one of the clearest examples of that trend.
Film Details And What Comes Next
Ramayana is a mythological epic led by Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi. The film opened in 2026 and has been positioned as a large-scale big-screen retelling rooted in the Indian epic, with its international rollout forming a major part of the release strategy. The Thailand result now adds a standout territory win to its opening phase.
With such a strong start, attention will now shift to how the film holds through its first full week and whether Thailand can emerge as one of its surprise powerhouse markets overseas. Even at this early stage, the opening weekend has already given Ramayana a major bragging right in the international box office conversation.
