Sony’s animated mythological adventure “Ramayana: Rise of a Legend” made history by becoming the first Indian feature ever to debut atop the U.K. and Ireland box office, collecting £2.1 million ($2.8 million) to lead a crowded slate of new releases and push Anime Ltd.’s “Godzilla Minus Zero” into third place.

The previous box office ceiling for Indian cinema in the territory was second place, held jointly by S.S. Rajamouli’s “RRR” in 2022, Shah Rukh Khan starrers “Pathaan” and “Jawan” in 2023 and Ranveer Singh’s “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” earlier this year.
