Ramayana Nears $40 Million Overseas in Just Nine Days Worldwide

Mumbai, November 13, 2026: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi’s epic film Ramayana: Rise of a Legend continues to create history at the international box office. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the film is enjoying an extraordinary theatrical run across overseas markets, with its international collection approaching the massive $40 million milestone in just nine days.

North America and the United Kingdom have emerged as the biggest contributors to the film’s overseas success. With its second weekend underway, Ramayana is now targeting a rare box-office record that could make it one of the fastest Indian films ever to cross $40 million in overseas collections.

According to trade estimates reported on November 13, the film had collected approximately ₹358.50 crore overseas in its first eight days. It is now moving closer to the $40 million benchmark.

North America Leads Ramayana’s Overseas Box Office

North America has become the biggest international market for Ramayana. The United States and Canada have delivered exceptional numbers, contributing nearly half of the film’s overseas business.

According to Venky Box Office figures, Ramayana collected approximately $17.49 million from the United States and Canada combined in its first seven days, including paid previews.

With this performance, the film narrowly moved ahead of Dhurandhar 2, which had earned approximately $17.32 million in the same period.

The film also achieved a major milestone by recording the highest first-Monday collection for an Indian film in North America. Its strong weekday performance demonstrates that audience interest is continuing beyond the opening weekend.

Ramayana has also surpassed the lifetime North American collections of several major Indian films, including Jawan, Pushpa 2, RRR and Animal, according to the reported trade figures.

Ramayana Creates History in the UK and Ireland

The United Kingdom has delivered another major achievement for the film.

Ramayana became the first Indian film to reach the number-one position at the official UK and Ireland weekend box office chart. The film opened across approximately 364 cinema locations, giving it a significant theatrical presence.

By Wednesday, its UK and Ireland gross had reportedly reached around £2.90 million, approximately $3.85 million.

With this achievement, Ramayana moved past Dhurandhar 2’s reported extended opening-week collection of approximately £2.75 million. Interestingly, Ramayana achieved this milestone in seven days, while Dhurandhar 2 took eight days.

This performance highlights the growing popularity of Indian cinema among international audiences.

Thailand, Singapore and Other Markets Boost Collections

Apart from North America and the UK, Ramayana is also performing well in several international territories.

Reported seven-day market estimates include:

Nepal has also contributed significantly, with the film reportedly earning approximately NPR 12.80 crore (around ₹8 crore) in its first eight days.

Indonesia is another market to watch. The film opened there on November 11 with more than 1,000 shows and collected approximately $92,000 on its opening day.

These markets are helping Ramayana expand its international box-office business beyond traditional Indian cinema audiences.

Crossing $40 million overseas is a major achievement for Indian cinema. Only a handful of major Indian blockbusters have reached this benchmark during their initial international theatrical runs.

Some of the films in this category include:

• Baahubali 2: The Conclusion

• Pathaan

• Jawan

• Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge

According to the reported historical comparisons, these films took longer to reach the $40 million milestone.

Ramayana is now attempting to achieve the same target within just nine days. If it crosses the benchmark on this timeline, it could establish a new speed record for Indian cinema.

More International Releases Could Boost Its Business

Ramayana’s international journey is not limited to its current markets. Sony Pictures is handling its international distribution, with additional releases planned across Latin America and parts of Europe.

These markets could provide further opportunities for the film to increase its overseas earnings in the coming weeks.

The film’s international performance also demonstrates the growing global reach of large-scale Indian productions, particularly those combining mythology, action, visual effects and familiar cultural stories.

Ramayana Worldwide Box Office Collection

The film has also crossed the ₹1,000 crore worldwide milestone according to reported trade estimates.

A November 13 report placed its worldwide gross at approximately ₹1,033.55 crore after eight days, with its ninth-day business still developing.

Conclusion

Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is delivering an extraordinary performance at the global box office. Its strong collections in North America, historic UK opening and growing business in Asian markets have brought the film close to the $40 million overseas milestone.

The upcoming second weekend will be crucial. If the film maintains its current momentum, it could set another major record for Indian cinema and strengthen its position among the biggest international successes of an Indian production.
