Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film has collected ₹139.20 crore across Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam markets within nine days of its theatrical release.

The previous record was held by Dhurandhar 2, which collected approximately ₹68 crore across the same four markets during its entire theatrical run. With ₹139.20 crore in just nine days, Ramayana has more than doubled that reported figure.

Yash’s presence in the film is also considered significant for its performance in Karnataka, where the actor enjoys a strong fan following. Apart from playing a key role in the film, Yash is also its producer. His production company is handling the film’s distribution in Karnataka.

Ramayana Crosses ₹1,100 Crore Worldwide in 9 Days

Ramayana has also reportedly delivered a strong performance in the worldwide market. The film has crossed ₹1,100 crore in global collections within nine days of its theatrical release, becoming the fastest Hindi film to reach the milestone, according to the reported figures.

At the domestic box office, the film has earned ₹612.45 crore in net collections.
