Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 1,600 crore, the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer is being touted as the most expensive Indian film ever made. The advance booking were strong hence the expectations from the day 1 of the box office are higher.

But apart from the advance collections, the box office fate of the film will largely depend on good word of mouth which may lead to growth during the upcoming long Diwali weekend.The film has witnessed strong footfalls during Thursday morning shows, with several theatres reporting houseful screenings across the country.

While its advance sales have not matched the extraordinary numbers recorded by 'Dhurandhar 2' earlier this year, 'Ramayana' is heading towards a potentially record-breaking opening.According the Sacnilk, the film has collected Rs 26.44 crore net in India by 2 pm on its opening day.

The Hindi version has emerged as the biggest contributor so far. Interestingly, despite Yash playing Ravana, the Kannada version has started on a relatively slower note, contributing Rs 3.22 crore. The Telugu version has also registered a decent performance, while the Tamil and Malayalam versions have contributed smaller amounts.

These figures are provisional and may change as the day progresses.'Ramayana' box office collection Day 1 LiveIndia net collection Rs 26.44 Cr'Ramayana' targets Rs 70 crore opening, eyes 'Dhurandhar 2' record Considering its strong advance bookings and opening-day response, 'Ramayana' is expected to cross the Rs 70 crore net mark in India.
