Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One is witnessing strong momentum at the box office. After a dip on its second day, the Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash-starrer registered a significant jump on Saturday, November 7. The film earned Rs 69.80 crore nett (gross minus taxes) in India on Day 3, its highest single-day domestic collection so far, taking its three-day India nett total to Rs 182.70 crore. Its worldwide gross has reached Rs 375.50 crore, according to trade tracker Sacnilk.

The film's India nett collection saw a 45.3 per cent jump on Saturday compared with Friday's Rs 48.05 crore. Its India gross for the day stood at Rs 83.45 crore. With this, the film's cumulative India gross has reached Rs 218.25 crore.

The Saturday performance is significant because the film had registered a 25.9 per cent drop in India nett collections on Friday, following its Rs 64.85 crore opening-day collection. The weekend turnaround indicates that the film has regained momentum after its initial post-opening-day dip.

Overseas markets have also contributed substantially to the film's theatrical run. Ramayana recorded an estimated overseas gross of Rs 60 crore on Day 3, taking its cumulative overseas gross to Rs 157.25 crore. Its three-day worldwide gross now stands at Rs 375.50 crore.

The Tamil version earned Rs 2.50 crore, and the Malayalam version collected Rs 2 crore on Saturday. Across all five languages, the film's India nett collection stands at Rs 69.80 crore for the day and Rs 182.70 crore cumulatively.
