The box-office race features films across different languages and genres, with Japanese filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki’s emerging ahead of Nitesh Tiwari’s in worldwide collections so far.
Despite its limited international release, Godzilla Minus Zero has grossed $63 million (approximately ₹592.91 crore) worldwide, surpassing Ramayana: Part 1, which has collected ₹507.20 crore (approximately $54 million).
Meanwhile, Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 continues its theatrical run, while the Uttarakhand-set drama has recorded ₹1.95 crore in a single-day collection. Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan’s has entered its third week in theatres, collecting ₹28.73 lakh on Day 16 so far.
Here’s a breakdown of the latest box-office collections of Godzilla Minus Zero, Ramayana, Jailer 2, Pyre and Udta Teer.
Although it is yet to release in India and some other territories, Godzilla Minus Zero has grossed $63 million (approximately ₹592.91 crore) worldwide so far, surpassing Ramayana: Part 1, which has collected ₹507.20 crore (approximately $54 million).
According to Variety, the Japanese film earned $31.6 million ( ₹297.31 crore) in North America and another $31.4 million ( ₹295.43 crore) from international territories where it has been released.
Godzilla Minus Zero has been made on a reported budget of $19 million (approximately ₹178.76 crore). It is the sequel to the 2023 blockbuster Godzilla Minus One, which earned $113 million (approximately ₹1,070 crore) worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
In its domestic market of Japan alone, Godzilla Minus Zero has collected 2.7 billion yen, or approximately $17 million ( ₹159.85 crore), as per Deadline.
The difference in the reported production budgets of the two films is substantial.
The two-part Ramayana franchise is reportedly being mounted on a budget of ₹4,000 crore. If the total budget is divided equally between the two instalments, Ramayana: Part 1 would account for approximately ₹2,000 crore.
In comparison, Godzilla Minus Zero was reportedly produced on a budget of ₹178.76 crore, which is approximately 8.94% of the assumed ₹2,000 crore budget for the first instalment of Ramayana.
This makes the Japanese film’s worldwide gross of ₹592.91 crore notable, particularly given its limited release across international markets so far.
However, box-office gross collections should not be confused with actual profits, as theatrical revenue sharing, distribution costs, marketing expenses and other costs also influence a film’s financial performance.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Ramayana: Part 1 has grossed ₹285.20 crore in the domestic market over four days, with an India net collection of ₹238.85 crore.
The mythological action film opened with an India net collection of ₹64.85 crore on Thursday, November 5. It subsequently collected ₹48.05 crore on Day 2, ₹69.80 crore on Day 3 and ₹56.15 crore on Day 4.
Positive reviews appear to be supporting Godzilla Minus Zero at the global box office, while mixed responses to Ramayana: Part 1 are reportedly affecting its performance, particularly in overseas markets.
Uttarakhand-based drama Pyre recorded a box-office collection of ₹1.95 crore on November 8, according to Sacnilk.
Directed as an emotional drama set in the remote, depopulated mountains of Uttarakhand, Pyre tells the story of Amma and Bubu, an elderly couple who have been waiting for their son for 28 years.
The film explores the love and companionship shared by the couple in a Himalayan village, where migration has left behind an ageing population and fading communities.
Starring non-professional actors, Pyre opened in theatres on October 30 and received positive word of mouth.
Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 collected ₹1.15 crore net in India on Day 25 across 657 shows, according to trade analyst Sacnilk.
