The epic film Ramayana has crossed the ₹50 crore mark in net collections in Karnataka and ranks second in the state's ₹100 crore gross list, marking a historic milestone for Bollywood in the region.
Ramayana, the latest epic drama directed by S. S. Rajamouli, has achieved a landmark in Karnataka’s box‑office history by collecting over ₹50 crore in net revenue from Kannada‑speaking audiences.
The film’s gross earnings in the state now exceed ₹100 crore, placing it second only to the blockbuster Baahubali 2 in Karnataka’s all‑time ₹100 crore club.
The milestone underscores the growing acceptance of Hindi‑language films in South Indian markets, especially after the film’s release on 14 February 2024. The success is attributed to the star‑studded cast, high‑profile music, and extensive promotional campaign across Kannada‑speaking regions.
Industry analysts note that Ramayana’s performance could encourage more Bollywood productions to target Karnataka’s lucrative market, potentially reshaping distribution strategies for future releases.
