Reddit Fears ₹4000 Cr Ramayana May Flop

The upcoming film Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is making headlines—not just for its story, but for its massive ₹4000 crore budget! Producer Namit Malhotra recently said on a podcast that both parts of the film together will cost around $500 million (₹4000+ crore), making it the most expensive Indian film ever. That’s 7 times more than the usual budget for Bollywood films!
😮 Why People Are Shocked
Reddit users reacted quickly. Many compared the budget to Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar and Avengers. Some fans are worried the film needs to make at least $1 billion (₹8300 crore) at the box office to break even—something no Indian film has done so far.
One user said, “They’ll need an RRR-level response and more from overseas to survive.” Others even questioned if the budget was exaggerated for hype, since earlier reports claimed the budget was around ₹1000 crore.
