The Indian epic 'Ramayana' was launched in Indonesia amid elaborate celebrations, and the film has already collected more than Rs 5 crore from its Thai run.
The Indian mythological drama "Ramayana" opened in Indonesia this week, marked by a series of public events and media coverage that highlighted the cultural resonance of the story in the region. Organisers coordinated screenings in major Indonesian cities, drawing crowds eager to experience the home‑grown retelling of the ancient epic.
In parallel, the film's performance in Thailand has been noteworthy, with box‑office receipts crossing the Rs 5 crore threshold. The earnings underline the growing appetite for Indian cinematic content in Southeast Asian markets, where myth‑based narratives are finding receptive audiences.
Industry analysts view the dual success as a sign that Indian filmmakers are expanding their overseas footprint beyond traditional diaspora hubs. "Ramayana" is expected to continue its rollout across neighboring countries, leveraging the momentum generated by the Indonesian launch and the strong Thai box‑office response.
The overseas reception also provides valuable data for producers planning future projects with cross‑border appeal, as they assess market dynamics and audience preferences in the region.
