After a relatively quiet second day, Ramayana is showing promising signs of a weekend recovery. The Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash starrer has gained momentum in Saturday’s advance sales, with Day 3 bookings nearing its opening-day figures.
By Friday night, the film had sold around 3.20 lakh tickets for its Hindi version across PVR Inox and Cinepolis. That’s nearly in line with Thursday’s advance sales, when the two national chains recorded about 3.25 lakh bookings. The uptick suggests more moviegoers are planning to catch the big-screen spectacle over the weekend.

The film’s second day saw a clear dip, with advance sales falling to roughly 1.80 lakh tickets. Saturday’s figures, however, suggest that the slowdown hasn’t continued at the same pace. The pre-Diwali period is usually a difficult time for theatrical releases, and Ramayana may draw a larger audience once the festive season begins.

Nov 9, 2026Positive word of mouth will also be key to sustaining the film beyond its opening weekend. For a project of this scale, the makers will be hoping for lasting audience interest rather than relying solely on the first few days.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Ravi Dubey and several other actors also appear in important roles.
The stakes are especially high for the franchise, given the film’s enormous production scale. Ramayana Part Two is already in production and is scheduled to arrive in cinemas during Diwali 2028.
For now, Saturday’s advance booking trend is an encouraging sign as the film heads into its first weekend. The actual collections will show whether this renewed interest translates into a strong day at the box office.
