Ranbir-Yash's Ramayana opens below Adipurush on opening day
The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer Ramayana collected less on its first day than Prabhas's Adipurush, marking a slower box office start for the mythological action film.
LSN India ·
The highly anticipated Ramayana, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Kannada star Yash in lead roles, opened to a lower box office collection on Day 1 compared to Adipurush, the 2023 mythological drama that starred Prabhas. The film's opening day numbers fell short of expectations set by its predecessor, signalling a cautious start for the big-budget mythological drama.
The underperformance on the opening day raises questions about audience reception to the film's narrative and execution despite substantial pre-release buzz and widespread marketing campaigns. Multiple factors, including market saturation and audience preference, may have contributed to the film not matching the opening day collection of Adipurush, which had generated significant curiosity when it released last year.
Industry observers are watching closely to see if Ramayana can recover in subsequent days through word-of-mouth and weekend collections. The film's performance will be crucial in determining its overall theatrical run and establishing trajectories for similar large-scale mythological projects in the Indian film industry.
