Ramayana advance bookings pass ₹29 crore ahead of 5 November release

Advance ticket sales for Ramayana have reached ₹29.10 crore gross ahead of its release, according to the latest tracking figures for 3 November. The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, opens in cinemas worldwide on 5 November, which is Diwali 2026.

The tracking update covered bookings up to 5 PM on 3 November. It counts 7.42 lakh tickets sold across 21,543 shows tracked in India. The figures exclude blocked seats. On the same basis, the film's net pre-sales stand at ₹24.70 crore, which would place it fifth among Bollywood openings of 2026 so far.

The pre-sales have already passed the full opening-day collections of Awarapan 2, Welcome To The Jungle and Bhooth Bangla. Dhurandhar 2 leads the 2026 list with ₹145 crore, followed by Drishyam 3 at ₹62 crore and Border 2 at ₹32.1 crore. Mirzapur: The Movie opened at ₹28.11 crore.

The film's pre-sales are being measured with about a day and a half still left before release. The final opening-day number will depend on walk-in sales and on how audiences respond after the first screenings.

Ranbir Kapoor's recent run has included several large hits. Animal opened at ₹63.80 crore in 2023 and went on to earn ₹556.36 crore. Shamshera, by contrast, earned ₹42.48 crore in its full run.

It is not yet known how the film will perform once it opens. Tracking figures before release often change, and early bookings do not always lead to strong later collections.
