The mythological epic ‘Ramayana’ has outperformed ‘Chhapa’ at the Indian box office and crossed the Rs 1,100 crore mark globally within nine days of release.
The fantasy drama "Ramayana" recorded a decisive lead over "Chhapa" in the Indian market on its ninth day of exhibition, pushing its worldwide collection beyond the Rs 1,100 crore threshold. The film, which debuted earlier this month, has drawn large audiences across metropolitan and regional centres, translating strong footfall into a robust box‑office tally.
Industry sources indicate that a substantial portion of the earnings stems from domestic theatres, with overseas territories contributing a growing share as the film reaches diaspora markets. The rapid accumulation of revenue places "Ramayana" among the few Indian releases to breach the nine‑figure crore mark within such a short span.
Analysts suggest the performance could reshape the benchmark for mythological and high‑budget productions, prompting producers to reassess release strategies for similar genre projects. The film’s momentum is expected to continue as it enters its second weekend, with exhibitors anticipating further gains from word‑of‑mouth and promotional activities.
