You’d think a mythological film would need a holy sermon to fill seats, but Ramayana has already sold 1.26 lakh tickets across 3,707 shows, with a whopping 92% of bookings coming from the Hindi version. The remaining 8% is split between a 41‑lakh‑rupee Kannada run and a 16.33‑lakh‑rupee Telugu batch, and eight shows are already house‑full.
Maharashtra leads the pack, pulling in ₹1.93 crore, while Delhi‑NCR follows close behind with ₹1.78 crore. Gujarat isn’t far behind, just shy of ₹50 lakh. Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad also show strong demand, hinting at a pan‑Indian appetite that transcends regional lines.
The hype isn’t just in numbers; it’s in the seat type. The Hindi 3D screenings have already garnered ₹4.36 crore, while the IMAX 4D version is raking in ₹1.66 crore. Mumbai’s PVR ICON: Phoenix Palladium has sold out its recliner seats for the 6:55 pm IMAX 3D show, and the 11 pm slot is priced at ₹2,770. The first show in Mumbai starts at 6:15 am—a full‑day marathon for devotees.
Beyond the box office, the film pulls a heavy cast: Sunny Deol, Rakul Preet Singh, Lara Dutta, and Arun Govil join Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi in a star‑studded lineup. Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, the movie is a two‑part saga, with the sequel slated for 2027.
With such a haul already on the books, critics and fans alike are buzzing: Will the film live up to its commercial promise? Does the mythological narrative find its footing in modern cinema? Only the opening weekend will answer, but one thing’s clear—Ramayana has already earned its place at the top of the pre‑release charts.
