If the early rush around Ramayana already looked massive, the latest update has made its theatrical impact even clearer. Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic has now hit 1.40 lakh-plus tickets per hour on BookMyShow, setting a new record for hourly bookings by an Indian film and turning the title into one of the biggest entertainment stories around its release.
The Latest Booking Milestone
The film’s team has announced that Ramayana crossed 140K-plus tickets per hour on BookMyShow, setting a new benchmark for hourly bookings for an Indian film on the platform. The same update also placed the film ahead of Dhurandhar 2 and Pushpa 2 on this specific ticketing metric, giving the release a major commercial talking point right at the start of its run.
The number also reflects how strongly the film has cut through in the event-release space, where premium formats, scale and pre-release buzz often define the initial theatrical conversation.
A Big Screen Push Built For Scale
That record has been backed by a release strategy built around spectacle. Ramayana is playing in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam, while its premium-format rollout has helped position it as a large-screen event rather than a standard weekend release.
The film is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, with Prime Focus Studios and Monster Mind Creations backing the project. Sony Pictures is handling international distribution, while Dharma Productions is releasing the film in North India. The film has also been presented in 3D and other premium formats, with visual effects by DNEG and Prime Focus Studios.

Release Strategy And Story Setup
Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, anchoring a cast built around one of Indian storytelling’s most enduring epics. Conceived as a grand-screen retelling, the film follows the conflict between Rama and Ravana after Sita’s abduction, with the narrative mounted as a sweeping theatrical saga.
Its multilingual rollout has widened the film’s reach from day one, while the IMAX and premium-format presentation has reinforced its positioning as a scale-driven theatrical experience. Right now, the 140K-per-hour BookMyShow figure stands as the film’s clearest headline, a hard-number milestone that signals just how strongly Ramayana has entered the theatrical marketplace.
