Director Nitesh Tiwari’s much-awaited film "Ramayana" has recorded an impressive response in advance bookings, with worldwide pre-sales reaching approximately ₹40 crore, according to industry tracking data. The film is scheduled for a global theatrical release on Thursday, November 5, 2026, with just seven days left for wide release.
According to box office tracker Sacnilk, the film, produced by Namit Malhotra and co-produced by Yash, has generated ₹15.89 crore in gross initial bookings in India for its opening day. After excluding blocked seats, actual ticket sales stand at ₹13.07 crore, showing strong interest among moviegoers ahead of its release.
The National Capital Region (NCR) leads bookings across Indian cities, contributing ₹2.90 crore in gross sales, or ₹2.34 crore excluding blocked seats. Bengaluru ranks second, with bookings worth ₹2.45 crore.
The film features a star-studded cast, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portraying Goddess Sita, and Yash appearing as Raavana. Ticket bookings opened on October 20, and the film has continued to build momentum in both domestic and international markets.
Overseas markets have reportedly contributed approximately $2.58 million, or ₹24.5 crore, in advance ticket sales. North America accounted for the most international revenue, accounting for $1.91 million, nearly 74 per cent of overseas pre-sales. Paid previews scheduled for November 4 are also approaching the $1 million mark.
Sony Pictures is managing the film’s international release across five tracked continental regions. The strong response following the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles has reportedly heightened expectations for a major global opening.
Early trade estimates suggest that "Ramayana" could aim for worldwide first-day collections of more than ₹147 crore, combining domestic and international earnings. While these projections remain uncertain, the advance booking figures naturally point to significant audience interest in the film.
