Ramayana: Part One posts record second-Friday earnings as nine-day total crosses Rs 600 crore
The film earned about Rs 47 crore nett on its second Friday, pushing its nine-day domestic gross to Rs 601 crore, with strong growth in its South-dubbed versions.
Ramayana: Part One entered its second week with an estimated Rs 47 crore nett collection on Friday, according to trade estimates. The Hindi version saw a 12% decline from the previous week, while the South-dubbed versions posted nearly a 20% increase, bringing the nine-day total to roughly Rs 601 crore nett, surpassing the Rs 600 crore benchmark.
The Friday haul is reported as the highest ever for a second-Friday in the Indian market, and the film continues to set single-day records that began on Monday. The Malayalam version recorded its best daily figure on Friday, and the Telugu version also showed growth after modest weekday earnings.
In the Hindi market, the film earned about Rs 36 crore nett on Friday, making it the second-largest second-Friday after Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which earned Rs 36.5 crore nett. Analysts note that if Ramayana maintains its pace, it could surpass Dhurandhar’s total of Rs 380 crore nett added after its second Friday, potentially reaching Rs 850 crore nett or higher.
The reported figures include 3D charges, reflecting a recent industry shift toward incorporating such fees in box-office reporting. The article notes that the numbers are trade estimates and not certified accounting statements.
