Ranbir Kapoor, Yash's film earns over 3 times 'Animal'; crosses Rs 1,200 cr worldwide

Explained

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's film Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has become a major box office story in India, and several outlets have tracked its earnings over the past two days. Reports disagree on how far the film has gone, but the later figures show a steady climb.

What happened

On 14 November, Zee News reported that the film had crossed Rs 1,000 crore worldwide. Google News, citing a report that day, said it had passed Rs 1,100 crore but was trailing Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 at the box office. The next morning, Times of India reported that the worldwide gross had surpassed Rs 1,200 crore. It said the film had earned Rs 72.90 crore net on its tenth day, taking its domestic total to Rs 685.60 crore. Times of India also described the film's earnings as more than three times those of Ranbir Kapoor's earlier film Animal.

Times of India described the film's performance as strong in its second week of release.

Why it matters

The reports present the film mainly through its commercial results. Times of India frames the numbers as a sign of remarkable success, while Google News's headline puts the film in direct comparison with Dhurandhar 2, which it says has earned more. Because these are box office figures, they show how much money the film has collected, not how audiences or critics have responded to it.

What we don't know yet

The reports do not give a full breakdown of the earnings, such as overseas collections separately from domestic ones, or the production budget, so it is not possible to judge profitability from these sources. The figures also come from different days, so the Rs 1,000 crore and Rs 1,100 crore milestones are earlier points on the same track rather than contradictory totals. The reports do not say how the Rs 1,200 crore figure was calculated or whether the publishers used the same data source. The Google News report's exact figure for Dhurandhar 2 is not included in the material available here, so the size of the gap between the two films cannot be confirmed from these reports alone.
