Check what Taran Adarsh has to say on his X account:
Released on a *working day* and, more importantly, during the *pre-Diwali* period, when theatrical business is generally slow, #Ramayana [#Hindi version] has registered a SUPER-STRONG start on Thursday [Day 1].
The business on Friday [#Dhanteras] could be affected to some extent, especially in the evening, due to puja mahurat timings… However, Saturday and Sunday should register substantial growth, especially with reports being OUTSTANDING.
The bigger jumps, however, are expected from Monday to Wednesday, when the #Diwali festivities begin.
⭐️ #Ramayana [Week 1] Thu ₹ 47 cr.
NOTE: #Hindi version.

Hindi Belt Dominates Regional Contributions
The Hindi version has emerged as the primary powerhouse driving the bulk of domestic theatrical collections. On Opening Day, the Hindi market contributed a massive ₹47.50 crore net, followed by a strong ₹35.50 crore net on its second day. Meanwhile, regional dubs—including Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam—contributed significantly, demonstrating broad cross-cultural appeal across southern territories.
A Cinematic Milestone
With state-of-the-art visual effects by DNEG and a spellbinding musical score by A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, Ramayana: Part 1 is proving to be a watershed moment for Indian cinema. Driven by stellar audience word-of-mouth for Yash’s imposing Ravana and Ranbir Kapoor’s dignified portrayal of Lord Ram, the film is poised for a record-breaking opening weekend.
