Ramayana Day 5 Box Office Collection

1. Ramayana Day 5 Box Office Collection

Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 opened on Thursday, 5 November 2026, just before Diwali. Day 5 is Monday, 9 November, and the final figure was not out when this was written.

Day-wise India net (Sacnilk):

Day	Date	India Net
Day 1	Thu, 5 Nov	₹64.85 Cr
Day 2	Fri, 6 Nov	₹48.05 Cr (down about 26%)
Day 3	Sat, 7 Nov	₹69.80 Cr (best day so far)
Day 4	Sun, 8 Nov	₹56.15 Cr
4-day total		₹238.85 Cr
Day 5	Mon, 9 Nov	₹23.96 Cr by midday (live estimate)

Bollywood Hungama’s tracker is a little lower: about ₹62.47 Cr on Day 1, ₹45.84 Cr on Day 2, ₹67.80 Cr on Day 3 and ₹54.21 Cr on Day 4. Its live Day 5 figure was around ₹43.57 Cr, still without night shows.

What to expect on Day 5: Advance booking for Monday was strong. Koimoi reported about ₹53 Cr gross, or roughly ₹45 Cr net, from pre-sales alone. Some outlets are projecting a ₹100 Cr gross day, which would be a rare Monday figure. Treat that as a projection until the final number is in.

Takeaway: The film dipped on Diwali Friday, recovered strongly over the weekend and is holding well into its first weekday. The real test is the weekday run from Tuesday onward.

2. Ramayana Worldwide Collection

After four days, reported figures were:

• India net: ₹238.85 Cr
• India gross: ₹285.20 Cr
• Overseas gross: about ₹214 Cr
• Worldwide gross: about ₹499.20 Cr

The film is nearly at the ₹500 Cr worldwide mark and will likely cross it with Day 5 numbers. The next target is ₹600 Cr, and how quickly it gets there depends on weekday holds and overseas momentum.

The film is released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and English. On Day 5, Hindi was contributing the bulk of India’s collection, followed by Kannada, Tamil and Telugu.

Note: Producers and trackers may report different totals. Official studio figures can differ from trade estimates.

3. Ranbir Kapoor Ramayana Movie Review

Film: Ramayana: Part 1 | Director: Nitesh Tiwari | Producer: Namit Malhotra (Prime Focus Studios, DNEG, Yash’s Monster Mind Creations) | Music: A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer

The story. Part 1 covers the first stretch of Valmiki’s epic and builds toward the confrontation with Ravana. Early fan posts suggest Part 2 will begin with Sundara Kanda.

Ranbir Kapoor as Ram. His Ram is calm, restrained and dignified. Many viewers and reviewers praised the grace of the performance. Others felt it was too subdued and lacked emotional force. This is one of the most debated parts of the film.

Visuals. This is the film’s clearest strength. Reviewers across publications praised the scale, the VFX and the action, with the Jatayu sequence mentioned most often. Some early viewers compared the scale to The Lord of the Rings.

Where it falls short. Some critics said the emotional core and the Ram–Sita romance don’t land as strongly as the spectacle. A few mentioned pacing and music, and one review said the film offers little that is new to people who already know the story.

Critical response. Reception is mixed to positive. Sacnilk’s critics’ average was 76/100 across 15 reviews, with 11 positive and 4 mixed. Taran Adarsh gave a full 5 stars, while others rated it in the 3.5 to 4.5 range.

Verdict: A visually ambitious, respectful retelling that is best seen on the biggest screen possible. If you value spectacle and Yash’s Ravana, it delivers. If you want deep emotional drama, you may find it uneven.

4. Yash as Ravana: Audience Reaction

If one performance is agreed on, it is Yash’s. Across X, early premiere reactions in Los Angeles and reviews, his Ravana is the most consistently praised element of the film.

• A Siasat roundup summed up early reactions as “Yash gets all the love” while Ranbir Kapoor drew more criticism.
• Viewers described his screen presence as commanding and magnetic.
• Reviews said his Ravana outshines the leads, and one headline said he “stuns” in the role.
• Even viewers who disliked other parts of the film said they would watch it for Yash.

Yash is also a co-producer and a distributor of the film, so the response matters to him beyond the acting. The excitement has also boosted attention for his other upcoming film, Toxic.

Takeaway: Yash’s Ravana is the film’s biggest talking point and a major driver of word of mouth, especially in the South and among younger audiences.

5. Sai Pallavi as Sita: First Look

Sai Pallavi’s Sita was first introduced through the film’s teaser and promotional material. The teaser, released around Hanuman Jayanti in April 2026, showed Ram, Sita and Lakshman, with only a glimpse of Ravana.

• Fans reacted warmly to her calm, grounded look, which is a departure from heavily glamorised screen versions of Sita.
• Sai Pallavi said she felt “truly blessed” to play Sita, and Alia Bhatt publicly praised Ranbir’s look from the same teaser.
• Her fee for the two parts is reported at about ₹12 Cr, which is high by her usual standards.

On release, audience response to her performance was positive but more divided than for Yash. Some viewers loved her dignity, while several reviewers felt the Ram–Sita chemistry and love story could have been stronger.

6. Ramayana vs Adipurush

Both films adapt the same epic, and comparisons were inevitable. Adipurush (2023, Om Raut, starring Prabhas) was widely criticised for weak VFX, dialogues and character design. Ramayana set out to avoid exactly those problems.

	Ramayana: Part 1 (2026)	Adipurush (2023)
Director	Nitesh Tiwari	Om Raut
Ram	Ranbir Kapoor	Prabhas
VFX	DNEG, widely praised	Heavily criticised
Tone	Respectful and traditional	Divisive, with controversy over dialogues
Opening	About ₹64.85 Cr India net on Day 1	Much lower in India net
Reception	Mixed to positive, strong audience scores	Largely negative

Takeaway: Ramayana is clearly the stronger, better-received film and is on track to far outperform Adipurush. It is also a safer, more reverent telling than the earlier film. (Adipurush figures are from memory of its 2023 release, so check them before publishing.)

7. Ramayana Movie Budget and Star Cast Fees

Budget. Budget numbers vary a lot between reports, so treat all of them as unconfirmed:

• A Bollywood Hungama source close to the producer put Part 1 at about ₹900 Cr and Part 2 at about ₹700 Cr, for a total of roughly ₹1,600 Cr.
• Some outlets have quoted far larger figures, such as ₹4,000 Cr or more, which are not backed by official statements.
• Under any of these numbers, it is the most expensive Indian film project ever.

Reported fees for both parts combined:

Actor	Role	Reported fee
Ranbir Kapoor	Ram	₹150 Cr (about ₹75 Cr per part)
Yash	Ravana	₹100 Cr (also co-producer, so profit share possible)
Sunny Deol	Hanuman	₹40 Cr
Sai Pallavi	Sita	₹12 Cr (₹6 Cr per part)
Lara Dutta	Cast	₹3 Cr
Arun Govil	Dashrath	₹2.5 Cr

Vivek Oberoi has reportedly taken no fee. None of these fees have been confirmed by the producers.

Main cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey (Lakshman), Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, Rakul Preet Singh, Kajal Aggarwal, Vivek Oberoi, Kunal Kapoor.

8. Ramayana IMDb Rating and Audience Reviews

Early ratings, as of 6 November, as reported by Sacnilk:

Platform	Rating
IMDb	8.7/10 (about 8.9K ratings)
Sacnilk audience	9.5/10
Sacnilk critics	76/100 (15 reviews)
Rotten Tomatoes audience	93%
Rotten Tomatoes critics	75% (32 reviews)

Caution: These scores are early and based on a small, enthusiastic first-weekend audience. IMDb ratings in particular tend to settle lower as more people vote.

What audiences say:

• Praised: VFX, scale, the Jatayu sequence, Yash’s Ravana, the score, and the respectful treatment of the epic.
• Criticised: pacing, uneven music, the emotional depth of the Ram–Sita track, and a performance from Ranbir some found too restrained.

Before release, the film was also IMDb’s most anticipated Indian movie of the second half of 2026.

9. Ramayana Part 2 Release Date

Part 2 is officially planned for a theatrical release during Diwali 2027. One outlet reported Diwali 2028, but most sources, including those quoting the producers’ plans, say 2027.

• Reports say a significant part of Part 2 has already been shot.
• Part 2 is reported to have a smaller budget than Part 1 because the world-building was done upfront.
• Prabhas’s Spirit has also moved to Diwali 2027, which sets up a possible clash.

Fans expect Part 2 to start with Sundara Kanda and move toward the war with Ravana. The exact date is not confirmed, so check for official announcements.
