Ramayana is gearing up for a spectacular opening at the box office, with its advance booking numbers looking quite promising ahead of its theatrical debut. The film, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has already sold around 3.25 lakh tickets across PVR Inox and Cinepolis for its opening day, placing it among the top Bollywood advance bookings of 2026.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, this epic tale also stars Sai Pallavi and has been stirring up a lot of excitement thanks to its grand scale and impressive cast. However, its advance ticket sales haven't quite reached the heights of this year's biggest hits. For instance, Drishyam The Conclusion sold 4.05 lakh tickets across the same national chains, while Dhurandhar The Revenge is leading the pack with a whopping 8.75 lakh tickets, including preview shows.

The timing of the release might play a role too. With Diwali just around the corner, audience plans and festive celebrations could influence the opening day figures. Still, the current sales indicate that Ramayana has successfully captured a significant audience's attention before it even hits theaters.

Nov 5, 2026According to the latest trade estimates, the film is projected to rake in around Rs 55 to 60 crore net from its Hindi version on opening day. The dubbed versions could contribute an additional Rs 15 crore net, bringing the anticipated domestic opening to about Rs 70 to 75 crore net.
Interestingly, the first few days might not follow a predictable trend. Collections are expected to vary during the festive season, with some days likely seeing a drop while others may show an uptick. Monday could be particularly crucial for the film, as regular audience attendance in Hindi-speaking regions is expected to rise after the Diwali festivities.
For now, the 3.25 lakh ticket sales have positioned Ramayana strongly among this year's major releases. Whether it can convert that initial buzz into lasting box office success will become clearer once audiences start sharing their thoughts.
