Ramayana Day 3: Rs 62 crore India net, Rs 174 crore in three days

Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana: Part One collected an estimated Rs 62.04 crore net in India on Day 3 (Saturday, 7 November), taking its three-day India net to about Rs 174.94 crore and India gross to about Rs 208.01 crore, according to trade tracker Sacnilk’s live tally as of 9.03 pm IST.

The Day 3 figure is a running estimate from 21,965 shows tracked so far; Sacnilk notes the final night count was still coming in. Hindi led with about Rs 48.33 crore from 18,848 shows, Kannada Rs 6.31 crore, Telugu Rs 5.19 crore and Tamil Rs 2.21 crore. Occupancy on Sacnilk’s Day 3 sample was about 38.8%.

Saturday’s bounce follows Friday’s drop: Day 2 had been about Rs 48.05 crore India net, roughly 26% below the Rs 64.85 crore Day 1 opening The Indian Idiot reported earlier. Crossing Rs 150 crore India net on Day 3 keeps the pre-Diwali weekend math alive after the midweek dip.

Hindustan Times similarly reported the film crossing about Rs 174 crore India net by Saturday with a weekend jump. Sacnilk’s overseas tracked total through Day 2 was about Rs 95 crore ($10.05 million); worldwide gross figures for Day 3 were still being updated.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the film stars Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. It released worldwide on 5 November. Day 4 advance booking and the Diwali holiday stretch will show whether the Saturday recovery holds.
