Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Rama in the Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic Ramayana: Part 1 has shattered box office records this Diwali, earning nearly Rs 664 crore worldwide within five days of its release. The film set a new benchmark for post-Diwali collections, surpassing the first Monday earnings of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 and outperforming previous Hindi releases like Salman Khan's Tiger 3. Ramayana: Part 1 saw a significant boost on its fifth day in theaters, earning Rs 107.50 crore nett in India from 23,911 shows, marking a 91.5% increase from its Day 4 collection. The film has also crossed the Rs 300-crore mark in India and has a worldwide gross of Rs 663.90 crore. The film's success can be attributed to strong performances across five languages, with its Hindi version leading the pack. Ramayana: Part 1 still has some way to go to reach the top spot among Indian releases this year but has started off strongly in the box office race. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, the film features an ensemble cast including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. The first part of the film hit theaters on November 5.
