Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 1 collected Rs 107.50 crore net in India on Day 5, Monday 9 November, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. It is the film's biggest single day so far, and it takes the five-day India net total to Rs 346.35 crore.
The Day 5 figure is striking because Mondays are usually the weakest day of a film's first week, when weekend crowds thin out and weekday footfalls take over. Ramayana did the opposite. According to Sacnilk, the film ran in 23,862 shows across India on Day 5, and the collections rose sharply instead of falling after the opening weekend.
The Hindi version led the Day 5 collections by a wide margin. It contributed Rs 87.32 crore from 19,743 shows, according to Sacnilk. Kannada added Rs 7.50 crore from 908 shows, Telugu added Rs 6 crore from 1,606 shows, and Tamil added Rs 4 crore from 823 shows.
The film's India gross collection has now reached Rs 413.90 crore, while the India net collection stands at Rs 346.35 crore, according to Sacnilk. The tracker noted that the final India numbers for the day were still awaited when the report was updated on the night of 9 November.
A record Monday for a Bollywood film
The Day 5 collection is reported to be the biggest ever Monday for a Bollywood film. It overtook the previous mark held by Dhurandhar 2, which had collected Rs 64 crore on its Monday. The scale of the gap, more than Rs 40 crore, shows how unusual the Ramayana run has been.
The film had already crossed Rs 500 crore worldwide in four days, according to reports. That worldwide figure came before the record Monday was added, which means the global total has moved further ahead since then.
How the five days add up
The day-wise collections reported by Sacnilk show a run that dipped, recovered, and then surged. Day 1, Thursday, collected Rs 64.85 crore. Day 2, Friday, collected Rs 48.05 crore. Day 3, Saturday, collected Rs 69.80 crore. Day 4, Sunday, collected Rs 56.15 crore. Day 5, Monday, collected Rs 107.50 crore.
The Monday surge is the story of the week so far. A film that collects more on its first Monday than on any of its opening weekend days is rare, and it points to strong word of mouth and repeat viewing rather than just opening day excitement.
The film has also become the fifth highest grossing film of 2026, according to the report. It still has to pass Border 2, Drishyam 3, Jailer 2 and Dhurandhar: The Revenge to climb further up the yearly list.
The film behind the numbers
Ramayana Part 1 is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, and Yash plays Ravana. The cast also includes Ravie Dubey as Laxman, Arun Govil as King Dashrath, Indira Krishnan as Kaushalya, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Sheeba Chaddha as Manthara, Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha and Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari.
The film was made on a reported budget of Rs 4,000 crore, which makes it one of the most expensive Indian films ever produced. Against that budget, the first five days have put it on a strong footing, though the final verdict will depend on how the collections hold in the second week.
The first part reached theatres on 5 November. The second part, which was earlier planned for release around Diwali next year, has reportedly been pushed to 2028, according to the report.
Trade watchers will now look at the second weekend to see whether the Monday record was a one-day festive surge or the start of a longer run. For now, the film has turned the usual box office pattern on its head, and its fifth day stands as the biggest single day of its run.
