Setting an unprecedented benchmark in Indian cinema history days before its grand worldwide premiere, director Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological magnum opus Ramayana: Part 1 has triggered an extraordinary pre-release ticketing wave across domestic and international markets. Mounted on a reported production scale of nearly ₹4,000 crore across its multi-part franchise vision, the cinematic epic—starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram alongside rockstar Yash—has witnessed non-stop advance booking momentum since reservations opened on October 20. With two full days still remaining before its official theatrical rollout on November 5, the big-budget visual spectacle has already collected massive sums purely through pre-sales, making it a strong contender to shatter opening-day box office records globally.
Advance Booking Milestones: Over ₹59 Crore Net Domestic Sales and 18.97 Lakh Tickets Locked
According to box office tracking data compiled by trade analytics portal Sacnilk, Ramayana: Part 1 accumulated ₹49 crore in gross domestic pre-sales by Sunday morning, with the figure escalating to ₹59.24 crore through the close of Monday and the first half of Tuesday across open ticketing counters without factoring in blocked seats. When counting promotional and exhibitor-blocked inventory, the gross domestic booking volume reaches ₹74.77 crore. More than 18.97 lakh tickets have already been snapped up by moviegoers across national multiplex chains and regional single screens over the first four-day festive window, spanning an extensive scheduling footprint of 61,107 designated shows nationwide at an early overall occupancy rate of 14 percent.
Global Box Office Sweep: $3.5 Million Overseas Haul Takes Pre-Release Tally Near ₹100 Crore
The pre-release craze for the epic is equally pronounced across international territories, where enthusiastic reviews from overseas previews and trade circles have spurred record advance sales. The film has crossed $3.5 million (approximately ₹33.20 crore) across overseas markets, elevating its consolidated worldwide pre-release haul to nearly ₹90 crore in pure customer ticket purchases ahead of opening day. Backed by high-end visual effects and a celebrated ensemble cast featuring Sai Pallavi alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, Ramayana: Part 1 is slated for a synchronized five-language pan-India theatrical release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
