Ramayana advance bookings pass 9 lakh tickets in India ahead of Diwali release

Advance ticket sales for Ramayana have crossed nine lakh in India, days before the film's Diwali release. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, and is set to open in theatres on 5 November 2026.

The film had reached close to 9 lakh tickets sold in advance bookings across India. Data taken at 11 am on Monday put advance gross collections at Rs 47.62 crore. Excluding blocked seats, the domestic advance figure stands at Rs 38.03 crore, based on 9.02 lakh tickets.

Sales across India and abroad

Bookings have come in for 36,211 shows across 532 Indian cities. In the 24 hours before the Monday cut-off, the film added Rs 1.66 crore. Hindi-language markets are leading ticket sales, while the Kannada and Telugu versions are gaining momentum.

Overseas advance bookings have reached about $3.9 million. More than $1.5 million of that comes from paid previews in the United States. Adding Indian advance sales, the worldwide advance gross is approximately Rs 75 crore.

Pre-sales on BookMyShow

Separately, the film has passed 412K ticket pre-sales on BookMyShow. That places it third among Bollywood films of 2026 on the platform by advance sales, behind Dhurandhar 2 and Drishyam 3. It has overtaken Sunny Deol's Border 2, which recorded 404K.

The film is being made by Prime Focus Studios, Monster Mind Creations and DNEG, and is produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash. AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer composed its music. The film is titled Ramayana: Rise of a Legend and is the first of a two-part epic.

The film has not yet released, so final box office numbers are not yet known. Advance figures can change as bookings continue in the final days before the opening.
