Ramayana advance bookings have moved into new territory on the final day before release, with trade trackers reporting worldwide pre-sales past ₹150 crore gross on Wednesday 4 November. The Ramayana advance bookings story is now less about whether the film will open big and more about how big the opening can get, one day before Nitesh Tiwari’s epic reaches cinemas on Thursday 5 November.
Two trackers, two totals — and why both are reported
According to Sacnilk’s November 4 afternoon update, the film had registered more than ₹100 crore gross in India, with overseas advance sales of about $5.6 million, taking the combined worldwide total past ₹150 crore gross. Pinkvilla, reporting at the end of business on Tuesday, put the worldwide figure lower, at about ₹111 crore, with about ₹57 crore gross in India and about ₹54 crore (US $5.70 million) from international markets. The gap is a methodology story, not a contradiction to hide: Sacnilk’s gross figures include blocked seats, while Pinkvilla’s note warns that scraped booking-site numbers include blocked seats and are not collections.
Variety India, citing Sacnilk, reported that the film had crossed ₹100 crore in advance bookings across its five-day extended opening weekend, selling 27.69 lakh tickets worth ₹104.58 crore, with 3D leading formats at ₹58.52 crore. Hollywood Reporter India, reporting Wednesday morning, put the total at ₹97.64 crore, with the Hindi version contributing 82 percent of revenue. Readers should treat every figure here as a pre-sale snapshot that will keep moving through Wednesday evening, not as a final box office result.
What happens next
The film releases in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, directed by Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, according to the trackers. A media screening was scheduled in Mumbai on November 4, a day before public release, following the November 3 industry screening. Pinkvilla’s trade forecast puts the Hindi opening at about ₹55-60 crore net plus about ₹15 crore net from dubbed versions, but that remains a forecast. The verified fact is the momentum: pre-sales, a resolved distributor-exhibitor dispute that had delayed bookings, and a final day of sales still to run.
