Nitesh Tiwari’s latest directorial venture, Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, has made a significant impact on the international box office during its four-day

extended opening weekend. Featuring a cast led by Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi, the film has recorded a worldwide gross of $55.66 million, positioning itself as a major performer on the global stage. The film’s performance has been particularly notable in the United Kingdom, where it achieved a historic milestone by debuting at the number one spot at the box office. With a collection of $3 million (£2.20 million), it outperformed major Hollywood releases, marking the highest opening weekend for an Indian film in the territory to date.

International Market Performance and Milestones

The film’s reach extended well beyond traditional markets, showing strong growth in Southeast Asia. In Thailand, the production earned $550,000 during its opening weekend, a figure reported to be approximately 5.5 times the lifetime earnings of previous high-performing Indian films in the region. Similarly, in Vietnam, the film reached $200,000 within its first three days, significantly exceeding typical performance metrics for Indian cinema in that market.


In Australia, the film secured the third position on the list of all-time highest opening weekends for Indian films, grossing A$2.72 million. This result saw it surpass the opening figures of several notable titles, including Pushpa 2, Jawan, KGF Chapter 2, and Animal. Meanwhile, in Germany, the film debuted with €542,000, ranking as the third-highest opening weekend for an Indian production in the country.


The Gulf region also saw substantial engagement, with the film recording 157,000 admissions during its opening weekend in the UAE. This figure surpassed the opening weekend footfalls of other 2026 releases in the region, such as Drishyam 3 and Awarapan 2. As the film continues its theatrical run, it remains a focal point for international box office tracking, with early indicators suggesting strong momentum for the coming week.
