The blockbuster Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is expected to post massive collections on Monday. Meanwhile, the Sunday figures for the Hindi version are now out. The film collected Rs. 37 crore nett on Sunday, almost matching its Friday collection of Rs. 38.25 crore but falling short of Saturday’s Rs. 53 crore. However, Sunday has turned out to be the film’s biggest collection on a key holiday.
This was largely due to Diwali celebrations, which often affect movie collections during the festive period. The Hindi version has collected Rs. 175 crore nett in the opening weekend. With Monday bookings looking strong, the film is expected to add a big number to its total.
Meanwhile, the hourly ticket sales on BookMyShow have reached 139K, the highest ever recorded for an Indian film. This strong booking trend points to a massive Monday, with the film expected to surpass the individual collections of all three days of its first weekend.
Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, Sunny Deol, Arun Govil, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh and Anupam Kher. The music is composed by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer.
