Ramayana is heading into the final stretch of advance sales with serious momentum behind it. Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic has crossed 2.05 lakh tickets across the national chains with two days still left before release, including 1.70 lakh in PVR INOX and 35,000 in Cinepolis. Those numbers have already pushed the film into the top bracket of 2026’s advance booking performers and turned it into one of the most closely watched openings of the year.
What makes the run especially notable is that Ramayana is operating at the scale usually reserved for franchise-backed tentpoles. With pre-sales already past the 2 lakh mark and the busiest booking window still ahead, the film is now firmly in contention to deliver 2026’s biggest non-sequel opening in the national chains.
Latest Advance Booking Update
The next two days will now determine just how far Ramayana can climb before the first show begins. For a large-format Hindi event film, the final pre-release window is often where momentum accelerates sharply, driven by late family bookings, premium format demand, and last-minute block reservations. That pattern puts added focus on how the film converts its current buzz into a closing surge.
The pace so far points to more than curiosity value. Audiences appear to be responding to the film’s event positioning, familiar mythological roots, and star-led appeal, all of which have helped build a broad-based booking trend rather than a narrow burst in one circuit. For exhibitors, that kind of movement is often the clearest signal that a film is arriving with genuine release-week heat.

Where Ramayana Stands In 2026
The larger story here is not just the raw number, but what kind of film is generating it. In a year when sequels and brand extensions have dominated the advance booking conversation, Ramayana has emerged as a rare original theatrical spectacle pushing into the same commercial zone. That gives its pre-sales a different weight in trade terms.
A mythological adaptation mounted on this scale comes with both opportunity and pressure. It must attract core Hindi belt audiences, urban multiplex viewers, and family crowds at once. The current booking trend suggests the film is connecting across those layers early, which is why the industry is tracking its final pre-release run so closely.
Cast, Crew And Release Details
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana: Part One stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshmana. Backed by Prime Focus Studios with Namit Malhotra among the key producers, the film is designed as the opening chapter of a large-scale two-part retelling of the epic.
That cast line-up, combined with Tiwari’s mainstream storytelling track record and the film’s visual ambition, has played a major role in shaping the strong pre-release response. Ramayana: Part One is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026.
