Ramayana records ₹42.96 crore in day 1 advance bookings in India

Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, has opened in Indian cinemas with ₹42.96 crore in advance bookings for its first day. The final figure was reported on 5 November 2026, before the film's opening shows.

The film sold 12.14 lakh tickets, not counting blocked seats, before its first show started. The gross of ₹42.96 crore equals ₹36.41 crore in net collections.

The original Hindi version made up ₹31.68 crore of the total. The Kannada version contributed ₹4.95 crore, the Telugu version ₹4.08 crore, the Tamil version ₹1.53 crore and the Malayalam version ₹71.79 lakh.

Ramayana has 26,615 shows, the highest number ever scheduled for a Bollywood film. Among all Indian films, only Pushpa 2 had more shows on its opening day, with 32,140.

With ₹42.96 crore, Ramayana has the second-best day 1 advance bookings for a Bollywood film. It passed Jawan, which had ₹40.75 crore, and stands behind Dhurandhar 2. It is also the highest figure for a Bollywood film that is not a sequel.

One outlet predicted the film would open to about 39 per cent less than Dhurandhar 2 at the domestic box office. Advance bookings are an early signal only, and final box office numbers depend on turnout and word of mouth over the opening days.

Ticket prices and seat availability will vary by city and cinema.

It is not yet clear how the film will perform once it has opened. Day 1 collections will show how many of the advance bookings turned into actual ticket sales.
