Ramayana is emerging as one of the biggest box-office sensations in Indian cinema, creating records across domestic and international markets. The mythological epic has now achieved another major milestone by crossing the Rs. 1,000 crore worldwide gross mark within just eight days of its release.
According to the reported figures, the film has collected a staggering Rs. 1,033 crore gross globally in eight days. However, it stands as the third-fastest Indian film to enter the prestigious Rs. 1,000 crore club. Pushpa 2 and Dhurandhar 2 occupy the first two positions, having achieved the milestone in just seven days.
Interestingly, both films had the advantage of being sequels with enormous pre-release anticipation. In comparison, Ramayana faced mixed reactions during its promotional phase. However, the situation changed after its worldwide theatrical release, as the film started attracting audiences and setting multiple box-office records.
Despite its phenomenal performance, Ramayana has to settle for third place in terms of the speed at which it crossed the Rs. 1,000 crore mark.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the grand mythological epic features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Yash has also co-produced the film alongside Namit Malhotra.
Mounted on a massive scale with impressive visual effects, the film has emerged as a major global attraction. Oscar-winning composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman have jointly composed the music.
