Ramayana Week 1 Box Office Collection: It’s been a week since Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has released and it has managed to script history almost everyday. Based on Valmiki’s Ramayan, this mythological epic comes with a stellar cast of Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Ravi Dubey, Lara Dutta, Arun Govil, Adinath Kothare, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi etc. Made with a budget of Rs 1700cr, Ramayana marks Ranbir’s return to the big screen after three years and his first collaboration with Sai Pallavi and Yash.
Jointly produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, Ramayana opened to mixed reviews while many expressing disappointment over the visual effects, screenplay and devotional element. In fact, Sunil Lahri, who played the role of Lakshman in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan also stated, “Watched the new Ramayan, it was a mixed experience, divinity and devotion were not visible, many important scenes are missing, in many scenes the conversation was not dignified which should be there in such a film, the character of Ravana was glorified a lot”.
However, despite all the criticism and trolling over casting, Ramayana has been roaring loud at the box office not just in India but across the world. And now while Ramayana has completed week 1 of release, it has achieved a new milestone at the domestic box office
