Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer Ramayana: Part One delivered a strong performance at the overseas box office on Saturday, collecting approximately USD 7.30 million (Rs 69 crore) in a single day. The film’s three-day overseas collection has reached USD 17.45 million (Rs 164 crore).
With an additional Rs 214 crore gross collection in India, the film’s worldwide box office earnings have climbed to Rs 378 crore. The four-day extended opening weekend is expected to reach around USD 23 million overseas and Rs 490 crore worldwide.
Saturday also marked a major milestone as the film recorded the biggest single-day overseas collection ever for an Indian film, surpassing the previous record held by Baahubali: The Conclusion, which earned just under USD 7 million on its biggest Saturday.
The film also registered several market-specific records. In the UK, it grossed GBP 750,000, surpassing the previous single-day record by around 15 per cent. In the US, it recorded the biggest single day for a Bollywood release, overtaking Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
Canada and Australia recorded the second-biggest single-day collections for an Indian film, behind Dhurandhar. The Middle East also witnessed a strong recovery on Saturday.
In Southeast Asia, Thailand is heading towards a USD 400,000 opening weekend, while Vietnam is expected to cross USD 100,000.
The film is scheduled to release in Indonesia next week, with smaller European markets also contributing to its overseas performance.
