These figures suggest encouraging early interest, although blocked seats should not be treated as confirmed ticket purchases. The final advance booking collection may increase as the release date approaches.

Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru Lead Advance Bookings

The excitement surrounding Ramayana is visible across major Indian cities. According to an October 28 report by NDTV, Delhi-NCR was leading the advance booking market with collections of approximately ₹2.75 crore from more than 37,000 tickets at the time of its report. Mumbai followed with ₹2.05 crore, while Bengaluru recorded around ₹1.92 crore. Hyderabad also showed strong interest, generating approximately ₹80.87 lakh. The Hindi version is attracting the largest share of advance booking revenue, followed by Kannada and Telugu.

Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi Bring the Epic Story to Life

One of the biggest reasons behind the excitement for Ramayana is its star-studded cast. Ranbir Kapoor will portray Lord Ram, while Sai Pallavi will play Sita. Kannada superstar Yash will appear as Ravana, one of the most important characters in the story. The film also features Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Arun Govil as King Dashrath and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi. Director Nitesh Tiwari is bringing the legendary Indian epic to cinemas with large-scale production, visual effects and an international creative team. Oscar-winning composers A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer have also worked on the film’s music.

Can Ramayana Break Major Opening-Day Box Office Records?

With its reported massive production budget and popular cast, Ramayana is expected to be one of the biggest Indian theatrical releases of 2026. Trade discussions have focused on whether the film can deliver an opening-day collection exceeding ₹100 crore in India. However, this remains an expectation rather than a confirmed box office result. Its advance booking performance is promising, but the film will need strong audience reviews, positive word of mouth and sustained theatre occupancy to achieve blockbuster success. Premium formats such as IMAX and 4DX are also attracting interest, potentially contributing significantly to the film’s box office revenue.

Ramayana Release Date: When Will the Film Hit Theatres?

Ramayana: Part One is scheduled to release worldwide on November 5, 2026. The makers have planned the story as a two-part cinematic experience, allowing the extensive mythology and important characters to receive more screen time.

With the release date approaching, fans are eagerly waiting to see how Nitesh Tiwari presents the legendary story on the big screen. Ramayana has already become a major talking point in the entertainment industry. Its reported 2.77 lakh advance booking figure, including blocked seats, shows the scale of interest surrounding the film. While the confirmed ticket sales are lower than the headline figure, the early response indicates that audiences are looking forward to Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash’s mythological epic. All eyes are now on November 5, when Ramayana will face its biggest test at the box office. Will the film create history and become one of India’s biggest blockbusters? The answer will become clearer once audiences experience the movie in theatres.
