‘Ramayana’ Box Office: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash’s Film Records Phenomenal Morning Show Occupancy
After a long wait, Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s “Ramayana” has arrived in theatres and, as expected, has registered exceptional occupancy in morning shows across the country. The original Hindi version has recorded impressive numbers in the northern markets, followed by a great response to the film in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film has also registered decent numbers in Tamil Nadu, despite local audiences showing interest in Suriya’s “Scene” and Nayanthara's “Mookuthi Annam 2.”
The film has registered around 55% occupancy across the country, which is phenomenal as it has managed to penetrate South India, despite releasing on a regular day at the box office.
The film has already collected ₹17.10 crore through its morning shows, with the Hindi version contributing ₹12.55 crore, accounting for 73% of the total. The Kannada-dubbed version has contributed ₹2.18 crore, while the Telugu version has added ₹1.53 crore.
