The epic 'Ramayana' (Part 1), directed by Nitish Tiwari and being prepared in two parts on a grand canvas of Rs 4,000 crore, has surprised everyone with its storm at the box office. The craze that is being seen among the audience regarding this film, which was released just before the Diwali holidays, is rarely seen. Generally, in the days just before Diwali, the audience is busy in cleaning their houses, shopping and worshiping, but despite this, there is a huge crowd in the theaters. On the second day of its release i.e. on the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras, the film was so blessed by Goddess Lakshmi that within just two days its worldwide gross collection crossed the magical figure of ₹ 221.05 crore. More than ₹ 221 crore collected in two days, defeating Salman's 'Tiger 3' and 'Adipurush'. Talking about the box office figures, after making a huge net collection of Rs 64.85 crore on the first day, on the second day (Friday/Dhanteras) the film did a net business of Rs 48.05 crore in all languages in India. With this, the total net collection of 'Ramayana' at the domestic box office within two days has reached Rs 112.90 crore (gross ₹ 134.80 crore). If the overseas gross of Rs 86.25 crore from foreign markets is included, then the global collection of the film in two days becomes ₹ 221.05 crore. In terms of total net and global collection of two days, this film of Ranbir Kapoor and Yash has left behind the two-day worldwide collection of Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' (₹ 103.75 crore net in 2 days) and Prabhas's 'Adipurush'. The name of Lord Ram spread from South to North, tremendous dominance in the Hindi belt. The film 'Ramayana' has been released simultaneously in five major languages in India – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. The biggest contribution to the film's earnings has been from the Hindi language, where it registered an impressive net collection of around Rs 83 crore in two days. Even in South languages, the film is getting good momentum from Kannada and Telugu belts. The character of Ravana played by superstar Yash, Ranbir Kapoor's gentle avatar as Lord Shri Ram and Sai Pallavi's simplicity as Mother Sita are being praised wholeheartedly by the audience. Trade experts believe that during Chhoti Diwali, Badi Diwali and then the long weekend of Bhai Dooj, the film will set many new records of earnings and will soon move firmly towards the ₹500 crore club.
