Ramayana Box Office Collection Day 9: Ranbir Kapoor, who had left everyone in absolute awe of his performance in Animal in 2023, has once again created a massive buzz in the town as he made his comeback on the big screen after three years. We are talking about Ramayana which happens to be a mythological epic and features Ranbir in the role of Lord Ram for the first time. The movie also features Sai Pallavi and Yash in the lead along with Ravi Dubey, Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, Anupam Kher, Sheeba Chadha, Adinath Kothare etc.
Touted to be one of the most anticipated and expensive movies of India cinema, Ramayana opened to a mixed response from the audience and critics. In fact, the movie witnessed a dismal opening in India and has been failing to beat Dhurandhar 2 despite massive buzz. In fact, while Ramayana witnessed a hike in numbers during the Diwali weekend and has been creating history post Diwali almost everyday, this mythological epic has been rewriting history at the domestic box office. But did you know despite entering the coveted Rs 500cr club, Ramayana is yet to attain the HIT tag?

Why Ramayana Is Yet Become A Box Office Hit? Sumid Kadel Explains
Interestingly, in an exclusive conversation with Filmibeat’s Ranpreet Kaur, film business expert Sumit Kadel explained that currently Ramayana is performing below average in India especially given its humungous budget and the ongoing comparison with Dhurandhar 2 which had earned Rs 674.17cr in 8 days in India. Sumit Kadel further asserted that Ramayana is made with an official budget of Rs 2000cr following which it will have to earn Rs 1100 for the Hindi version alone and around Rs 2800cr at the worldwide box office to get the hit verdict. He further explained that Ramayana will attain its breakeven point at Rs 2500cr in order to become a successful venture.
