According to the box office tracking portal, the film entered its release day after collecting over ₹125 crore in global gross advance bookings. Morning shows across key metro regions—including Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi-NCR—reported high theater occupancy, particularly across premium 3D, IMAX, and 4DX screens.

Strong Opening Across Languages

The multi-lingual feature, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Kannada superstar Yash as Ravana, opened across Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam markets. Hindi screenings accounted for the bulk of early morning collections, followed by high momentum in Karnataka and Telangana.
