Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana is going great guns at the ticket windows. Particularly at the overseas box office, the movie is displaying phenomenal holds, making previous records look small.

In North America, the Ranbir Kapoor starrer has already emerged as the second-biggest grosser of Indian cinema, surpassing Baahubali: The Conclusion. The only film ahead of Ramayana is Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which made over $28 million in its lifetime.

By Sunday, Ramayana is projected to earn somewhere around $23 million. From there, the mythological epic will look not just to break the existing record but also to set a new and bigger benchmark for Indian cinema.
