Rio Raj‑Vartika Jain’s ‘Ram and Leela’ earns ₹20 lakh on opening day

The Hindi‑language romantic‑drama ‘Ram and Leela’, featuring Rio Raj and Vartika Jain, opened across multiplexes and single‑screen theatres on Friday. According to box‑office data released by The Times of India, the film generated a gross of roughly ₹20 lakh on its opening day. The collection places the movie among modestly performing releases, reflecting a measured response from urban and semi‑urban audiences. Producers have not disclosed the film’s budget, but the opening figure suggests a cautious start as the promotional campaign gains momentum. The next few days will be crucial to determine whether word‑of‑mouth can boost attendance.

The film’s distribution covered major cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, with a limited rollout in tier‑2 centres. Trade analysts note that a ₹20 lakh opening is typical for low‑budget projects lacking star power, and it will need sustained footfall to break even.

No further details on weekend projections have been released, and the producers are expected to issue an official statement if the earnings improve in the coming days.
