Mookuthi Amman 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Nayanthara’s film sees 30% jump, earns Rs 4.33 crore

Ranbir Kapoor's film Ramayana Part 1 has been experiencing a notable surge at the domestic box office during the Diwali weekend, as it continues to draw significant viewership and revenue. The film's earnings in India surged to Rs 69.80 crore on Saturday, following a Rs 48.05 crore collection on day 2, demonstrating an encouraging trend in its box office performance.

The festive season has played a crucial role in bolstering the film's box office success, contributing to an overall occupancy rate of 41.3% in India. Ramayana has already crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in domestic collections, while its worldwide earnings have surpassed the impressive Rs 375 crore milestone. The dominant share of the film's domestic revenue has been generated from its Hindi version, followed by a strong performance in the Kannada release, largely credited to the star power of Ranbir Kapoor and the rising star Yash, who gained recognition through KGF.

Despite the film's strong start, Ramayana Part 1 is yet to recover its substantial reported budget, which is reportedly backed by DNEG's Namit Malhotra, who invested Rs 4,000 crore in the project. The second part of the epic, initially planned for a Diwali 2027 release, is now anticipated to be postponed to 2028. Industry experts predict that the film's collections will continue to climb over the Diwali weekend.

However, the real challenge for the film's box office performance will unfold on Monday, as the festive boost wanes and the audience's interest will be scrutinized against the backdrop of routine weekday trends.
