'Ramayana' crosses ₹1,000 crore mark in just 8 days
What's the story
Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has crossed the ₹1,000 crore mark in worldwide gross earnings within just eight days of its release. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer is now the third Indian film to achieve this feat in its opening weekend and the third fastest overall. The movie had a good, but not great start with ₹128 crore on its opening day and went on to earn an impressive ₹507 crore over the four-day opening weekend.
Box office surge
'Ramayana's starting at the box office
The real surge for Ramayana came on Monday when it took full advantage of the Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj holidays, raking in back-to-back ₹150 crore days.
The film continued this trend with an exceptionally strong Wednesday, ending its first week with a gross of ₹935 crore.
It then added another ₹29 crore in advance bookings for Thursday in India and around ₹14 crore overseas, taking its total to around ₹980 crore by Thursday morning.
Milestone achievement

It is now the 11th Indian film to do so.
