Ramayana: Part One crosses Rs 100 crore in worldwide advance bookings ahead of 5 November release
Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One has crossed Rs 100 crore in worldwide opening-weekend advance bookings, with trade trackers differing on the exact total, ahead of its 5 November theatrical release and 4 November paid previews.
Ramayana: Part One, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, has crossed Rs 100 crore in worldwide advance bookings for its opening weekend ahead of its theatrical release on 5 November. Trade-tracker reports differ on the exact total, with one putting it at about Rs 105 crore and others above Rs 115 crore, so the figures should be treated as provisional until distributor confirmation.
Past Rs 100 crore, but by how much?
Trade website Sacnilk's figures, as reported on 3 November, put Ramayana: Part One past the Rs 100 crore mark in worldwide opening-weekend advance bookings, two days before its theatrical release. News9 reported approximately Rs 105 crore in worldwide advance bookings, while The Indian Express reported that overseas pre-sales crossing Rs 40 crore had pushed the worldwide opening-weekend gross past Rs 115 crore.
The gap between the two totals reflects different reporting times and scopes as bookings kept updating through 3 November, not a single settled figure. All of these numbers are trade-tracker reports based on advance sales, including blocked seats in some counts, and they remain provisional until the film's actual box-office collections are reported after release.
The India numbers
In India, the film's opening-day advance bookings stood at Rs 32.59 crore gross as of 12 pm on 3 November, according to Sacnilk, from 8.16 lakh tickets across 20,159 shows at 18 per cent overall occupancy. Excluding blocked seats, the opening-day gross was Rs 27.34 crore from 6.80 lakh tickets.
Across the first four days for which shows were listed, domestic advance bookings had climbed to Rs 75.56 crore gross, or Rs 60.09 crore without blocked seats, through 19.13 lakh tickets across 61,835 shows. Premium formats also contributed strongly: according to Sacnilk, IMAX, 4DX and other premium options generated approximately Rs 4.74 crore in domestic advance bookings, including blocked seats, from just 360 shows.
Overseas previews and the final promotional push
Overseas markets have been a major driver, contributing more than Rs 40 crore in pre-sales, with North America leading. Paid preview screenings in the United States on 4 November alone have generated more than $1.20 million, with more than 51,000 tickets sold, and total US pre-sales for the opening weekend are around $3 million. Overall overseas advance bookings stood at approximately $4.71 million across all days, according to The Times of India, approaching the $5 million mark.
The cast took the promotional campaign to London for its final leg, after the film's premiere in Los Angeles on 27 October and appearances on American television shows. A screening was held in London, where Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash were joined by director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra. Special screenings and early previews are scheduled for 4 November, ahead of the worldwide theatrical release on 5 November, with the second part planned for Diwali 2027.
