Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana advance bookings pass ₹29 crore before opening day

Advance ticket sales for Ramayana have crossed ₹29 crore in India, ahead of its release in cinemas on 5 November. The figure covers bookings made up to 5 PM on 3 November, the day before the film's scheduled Diwali 2026 opening.

The tracking update put the gross from advance bookings at ₹29.10 crore for the opening day. The figure excludes blocked seats. Over 7.42 lakh tickets had been sold across 21,543 tracked shows in India by that time.

Pre-sales ahead of earlier releases

On that basis, the film's pre-sales have already surpassed the complete opening-day tallies of Awarapan 2, Welcome To The Jungle and Bhooth Bangla. Pre-sales alone have also placed Ramayana in the top five Bollywood openings of 2026, with about a day and a half of booking still left.

The film's pre-sales net collection stands at ₹24.70 crore, according to the same tracking update. Dhurandhar 2 leads the 2026 list with a ₹145 crore opening, followed by Drishyam 3 at ₹62 crore and Border 2 at ₹32.1 crore.

Ramayana is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi. It is being released worldwide, with the Indian release timed for the Diwali weekend.

The figures are advance-sale numbers only and do not yet reflect actual box office results. Final opening-day earnings will depend on sales in the remaining hours and on how audiences respond after release.
