Ramayana passes ₹500 crore net in India, Mumbai Police urge stars to avoid crowds, and Ariana Grande brings Ricky Álvarez to the Focker-in-Law premiere

Ramayana: Part One, with Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, slowed after its two biggest days but still finished its first seven days past ₹500 crore net in India. Trade tracker Sacnilk put Day 7 (Wednesday 11 November) at ₹70.65 crore net across 24,239 shows, 24.9% below Tuesday’s ₹94.10 crore, with occupancy at 43.4%. Hindi brought ₹58 crore, Kannada ₹4.50 crore, Malayalam and Telugu ₹2.75 crore each, and Tamil ₹2.65 crore. That takes the seven-day India net to ₹511.10 crore and India gross to ₹611.05 crore. Sacnilk estimated overseas Wednesday at ₹25 crore, for an overseas gross of ₹323.50 crore and a worldwide gross of ₹934.55 crore. Mint noted that Wednesday was still the film’s third-biggest day in India, ahead of its ₹64.85-crore opening, and that at its current pace it could pass ₹1,000 crore worldwide on Day 8. These are trade estimates rather than audited studio figures, and Sacnilk says its numbers can differ from producers’ totals.
