Taran Adarsh's Post
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh had already predicted in his earlier posts that the business would get a big push from Monday onwards as the Diwali festivities would begin.
On Sunday, he wrote on Instagram, "Saturday turned out to be the best-performing day of the extended weekend, while Sunday witnessed a slowdown due to the Lakshmi Puja shubh mahurat and the #Diwali celebrations that followed.
"The film now moves into a game-changing phase... With #Diwali celebrations beginning, #Ramayana is expected to deliver a colossal total today [Monday], going by the extraordinary advance bookings and excellent audience feedback.
"The mass circuits, which are yet to unleash their full potential, are expected to deliver in a big way during the Diwali festivities... And if that happens, the sky is the limit."
Comparison With Adipurush Box Office
Despite receiving severe backlash over its VFX and dialogues, Prabhas's Adipurush (2023) opened its box office with Rs 86.75 crore in India.
While Ramayana couldn't beat its opening day collection, it earned marginally higher than Prabhas's film's day 3 collection in India.
On day 5, Adipurush registered a drastic fall after it minted a net of Rs 10 crore. On the other hand, Ramayana scored its first century on day 5 since its release.
