Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious cinematic adaptation of the Ramayana has taken the global box office by storm, collecting more than ₹535 crore worldwide in just four days of its theatrical release. The spectacular opening has made the film one of the biggest box-office attractions of 2026, with audiences turning out in large numbers across India and overseas markets.

Released during the Diwali festive season, the film has generated tremendous excitement among moviegoers, setting impressive ticket-booking records and drawing attention for its grand scale. It also registered more than 1.11 lakh ticket bookings in a single hour on BookMyShow, underlining the extraordinary demand for the mythological spectacle.

Produced by Namit Malhotra, the two-part cinematic adaptation features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The ensemble cast also includes Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Hanuman.

One of the film's biggest attractions is its ambitious visual presentation. International visual effects company DNEG has worked on bringing the epic's mythical world to life, while the music brings together acclaimed composers A R Rahman and Hans Zimmer.

The makers are planning to continue the epic story with a second instalment, scheduled for a Diwali 2028 release. Following the phenomenal response to the opening chapter, expectations are already high for the next instalment.

With its impressive worldwide collection, record ticket bookings and strong audience interest, Ramayana has made a powerful start, turning one of India's greatest epics into a major cinematic event.
