Ramayana advance booking has crossed the ₹8 crore mark, giving Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash’s upcoming epic an encouraging start before its theatrical release. According to Sacnilk figures reported by NDTV, advance collections stood at ₹8.27 crore as of 10:00 AM IST on October 23, 2026. ndtv.com
More than 1.47 lakh tickets had been sold across 3,964 shows. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film is scheduled to reach cinemas worldwide on November 5. ndtv.com
The figures represent pre-release bookings. They should not be confused with an opening-day collection recorded after screenings have taken place.

Hindi Leads Ramayana Ticket Sales
The Hindi version accounts for the largest share of the reported bookings, followed by Kannada and Telugu.
Delhi-NCR contributed more than ₹2 crore, while Mumbai recorded approximately ₹1.49 crore. Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Pune also featured among the leading city markets.
At the state and regional level, Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka, Gujarat and Telangana formed the top five contributors in the report. ndtv.com
Why Some Reports Show ₹8.16 Crore Instead
An earlier report published by The Times of India on October 23 put Ramayana advance booking at ₹8.16 crore across 3,944 opening-day shows.
That report separately listed ₹6.15 crore excluding blocked seats. The later NDTV snapshot reported a higher overall total as bookings continued. – The Times of India
Different totals are therefore not automatically contradictory. Booking reports need to be compared using the same cut-off time, territory, show dates and treatment of blocked seats.
The ₹6.15 crore figure belongs to the earlier snapshot. It should not be presented as the excluding-blocked-seats counterpart to the later ₹8.27 crore total.
Premium Formats Add to the Booking Value
The Times of India reported that Hindi 3D contributed around 60% of the earlier opening-day advance gross.
Premium formats—including IMAX, 4DX, Dolby, ICE and EPIQ—accounted for approximately 29% of the gross despite representing about 6% of tracked shows. Selected premium recliner tickets in Mumbai were listed as high as ₹3,170. – The Times of India
Those prices apply to particular seats and screenings. They are not the standard ticket price across India.
This distinction matters when assessing demand. A high-value premium booking can contribute more revenue than several lower-priced tickets, so gross collections and ticket counts should be considered together.
How Ramayana Advance Booking Built Momentum
The Indian Express reported ₹4.88 crore from 84,969 tickets at 8:00 AM on October 21. Its report placed collections excluding blocked seats at ₹3.05 crore.
Bookings had opened on October 20, although the initial rollout covered limited shows amid a reported disagreement over revenue-sharing terms between distributors and exhibitors. Bollywood News – The Indian Express
The later ₹8 crore milestone shows that the reported booking value increased over the following two days. However, the expansion in available shows also needs to be considered when comparing those snapshots.
Does This Guarantee a Huge Opening?
The pre-sales provide an early indication of audience interest, but they do not establish the final opening-day result.
The earlier October 23 snapshot still showed substantial seat availability across most tracked screenings. The Times of India reported that roughly 95% of shows had more than half their seats available at that stage. – The Times of India
Bookings closer to release, additional screenings and walk-in audiences will determine how much further collections grow. A final hit-or-flop verdict would be premature before the theatrical run.
Cast and Release Details
Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Sunny Deol plays Hanuman, while Ravie Dubey appears as Lakshman.
The film’s announced worldwide release date is November 5, 2026. – The Times of India
For readers following Ramayana advance booking, the clearest current milestone is the reported ₹8.27 crore snapshot. Further updates should retain their timestamps and distinguish between gross figures and totals excluding blocked seats.
