Ramayana Advance Booking: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash Film Races Towards Rs 100 Crore, One Day Before Release

Ramayana Advance Booking: The excitement surrounding Nitesh Tiwari's much-awaited Ramayana is evident in the way it is translating into epic advance booking numbers. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer is inching closer to the Rs 100 crore mark ahead of its theatrical release. The mythological epic has already grossed Rs 97.64 crore through advance ticket sales across India, including block bookings, as of 10am on Wednesday, November 4. Without blocked seats, the film's advance booking collection stands at Rs 77.71 crore.

According to trading website Sacnilk, Ramayana has sold 25.88 lakh tickets across 83,736 shows in 901 cities for six show dates. Excluding blocked seats, the ticket count stands at 20.68 lakh. Notably, the film added another Rs 1.20 crore to its advance booking collection between the 6 AM and 10 AM cut-off on Wednesday, indicating that ticket sales are continuing to gain momentum just a day before its release.

With the film scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Thursday, November 5, the latest figures suggest that Ramayana is heading towards a massive opening. The Hindi version is leading the advance booking charts, accounting for the overwhelming majority of ticket sales, while the Telugu and Kannada versions are also contributing to the overall numbers.

The Hindi version of Ramayana is driving the film's advance booking performance, generating Rs 79.84 crore, accounting for approximately 82 per cent of the total advance gross. The Telugu version follows with Rs 8.13 crore, while the film is also witnessing ticket sales across other language markets.

The strong Hindi demand reflects the film's wide appeal across the country, particularly in major metropolitan centres. However, the Telugu market is also showing considerable interest, with Hyderabad emerging as one of the significant contributors in terms of ticket sales.

Among the major territories, the National Capital Region (NCR) has emerged as the biggest contributor to Ramayana's advance booking collection. The region has generated Rs 13.59 crore, including blocked seats, from 2.11 lakh tickets. Without blocked seats, the collection stands at Rs 10.45 crore from 1.53 lakh tickets. Mumbai occupies the second position with Rs 12.15 crore in advance bookings, including blocks, from 1.91 lakh tickets. Excluding blocked seats, the collection stands at Rs 9.10 crore. Bengaluru has also recorded impressive numbers, generating Rs 9.98 crore from 1.69 lakh tickets. Its collection without blocked seats stands at Rs 8.80 crore from 1.46 lakh tickets.

Hyderabad has registered Rs 5.95 crore in advance bookings, including blocked seats, from 2.59 lakh tickets. Interestingly, the city has sold more tickets than the other major markets mentioned, with 2.29 lakh tickets booked without blocked seats, generating Rs 5.21 crore. Pune rounds off the top five markets with Rs 4.07 crore from 76,758 tickets, including blocked seats. Without blocked seats, the city has generated Rs 3.02 crore through 54,949 tickets.

With advance bookings already touching Rs 97.64 crore, Ramayana is within striking distance of the Rs 100 crore milestone before its theatrical release. The film's final advance booking figures will be closely watched as audiences prepare for its opening-day screenings.

Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita and Yash as Ravana, the ambitious two-part adaptation is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra. With its enormous scale, ensemble cast and strong advance ticket sales, the film is poised for a major theatrical debut.
