Ramayana rolls out on a November 5, 2026 curtain‑call that’s already buzzing in every cinema hall—Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as the mighty Hanuman, all backed by a star‑studded supporting cast and the production muscle of Prime Focus Studios and Monster Mind Creations. The project’s two‑part nature is set to keep audiences glued for months, with the second instalment slated for Diwali 2027.
But the buzz isn’t just about the cast or the scale; it’s about the numbers that are already piling up. According to Sacnilk, the film has scooped ₹1.53 crore in advance bookings, a figure that eclipses many pre‑release expectations for an Indian epic. That’s ₹63.32 lakh earned without any block bookings yet.
Maharashtra is the heavyweight champ, pulling in ₹57.09 lakh, followed by Gujarat’s ₹17.87 lakh and Delhi’s ₹15.10 lakh. In fact, the top ten states are raking in 95 % of the total advance gross, showing that the film’s appeal is as wide as a pan‑Indian epic.
City‑wise, Mumbai tops the list with ₹39.46 lakh, while the National Capital Region pulls in ₹15.10 lakh and Ahmedabad follows at ₹12.25 lakh. These three alone contribute 74 % of the advance haul, proving that the heart of the film’s success lies in the metros where the mythic narrative meets modern appetite.
The language and format split is as dramatic as the plot itself. Hindi screenings account for ₹1.39 crore across 1,351 shows, while Kannada windows bring in ₹12.90 lakh across 61 shows, with Bengaluru alone claiming ₹9.58 lakh. The 3D version is not a sidekick either—Hindi 3D screenings alone have earned ₹1.16 crore, making up 76 % of the advance total. Premium formats like IMAX, 4DX, Dolby, ICE, and EPIQ add another 17 % of the gross despite being only 6 % of the shows.
With the first part already shipping, audiences can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. The second chapter, set for Diwali 2027, promises to deliver a crescendo that will test the limits of Indian cinema’s epic storytelling prowess.
