Ramayana ends Diwali jinx; beats Tiger 3, Krrish 3 and Housefull 4 to become top Diwali opener in Hindi
Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has recorded the highest opening-day Hindi net collection among major films released around Diwali, earning Rs 47.50 crore. The film has surpassed Tiger 3, which collected Rs 43 crore on its opening day in 2023, followed by Krrish 3 (Rs 24 crore), Housefull 4 (Rs 19.08 crore), Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (Rs 13.25 crore) and Shivaay (Rs 10.24 crore). However, the release timings of these films are important when comparing their box-office performances. Tiger 3 opened on Diwali itself and faced festive-day restrictions before witnessing a significant jump the following day, while Krrish 3 and Housefull 4 also benefited from post-festival growth. With Diwali celebrations influencing theatre attendance, Ramayana's performance over the following days will be crucial in determining how well it sustains its strong opening.

Ramayana Part 1 leaked online?
Ramayana: Part 1 has reportedly surfaced in a pirated version online, with X user @_mrchaturvedi raising concerns about the ease of accessing illegal copies of the film. Sharing his experience on X, he wrote, "Was coming back from Phoenix Market City this evening, and the auto guy was watching Ramayana on mobile and the quality was decent, not even bad. I think we need strict anti-piracy laws in our country. This feels like a disease we need a cure for." Ahead of its theatrical release on November 5, 2026, Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, received interim protection against piracy from the Bombay High Court. The court restrained unidentified individuals and digital platforms from recording, uploading or streaming the film without authorisation. It also directed internet service providers and social media platforms to take down or block pirated content following complaints from the production company, Godpower Media Private Limited, which holds the film's copyright and exploitation rights in India and overseas.

Trade analyst calls Ramayana's opening box office ‘absolutely dismal’, compares it to Toxic
Trade analyst Sumit Kadel has criticised Ramayana's opening, pointing out that its Hindi collection was lower than Yash-starrer Toxic, which earned about Rs 50 crore despite having an average ticket price (ATP) 40–50% lower than Ramayana.

Calling the opening “absolutely dismal”, he questioned the film's performance despite its higher ticket prices.
