A new golden chapter has been added in the history of Indian cinema. Director Nitesh Tiwari's grand mythological film 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend' has crossed the magical figure of ₹ 1,000 crore worldwide within just 8 days of its release. According to official data from trade tracker Sacnilk, the film's 8-day total worldwide gross collection has reached ₹1,033.55 crore. In this film, which hit the theaters on November 5, 2026 in the festive atmosphere of Diwali, Ranbir Kapoor played the role of Lord Shri Ram, Sai Pallavi played the role of Mata Sita and South superstar Yash played the role of Lankapati Ravana. Made under the banner of producer Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, the film's historic earnings have left the makers and trade analysts giddy.
