The strong Monday performance has further boosted the film's five-day box office total. Its Diwali-period collections have emerged as a significant contributor to its theatrical performance. Meanwhile, strong advance bookings for Tuesday (Day 6) have raised expectations of another substantial day at the box office. As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Gujarati New Year celebrations in key markets, particularly Gujarat, are also expected to support theatrical footfall.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, 'Ramayana: Part 1' is the first instalment of a two-part cinematic adaptation of the ancient Indian epic. The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Anupam Kher voices Jatayu, the divine bird who plays a pivotal role in the narrative by attempting to rescue Sita from Ravana's abduction. Others in key roles are Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, and Rakul Preet Singh.
