Ramayana: Part One has kicked off its overseas run with serious momentum. The film has already clocked about USD 2.85 million in opening weekend advance sales across international markets, and that figure has come before ticket sales even begin in the Middle East, traditionally one of the biggest territories for Indian cinema. With North America leading the charge, the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer is now heading toward an overseas opening weekend of more than USD 23 million.
Latest Overseas Update
The strongest response so far has come from the United States, which is nearing USD 1.8 million in weekend pre-sales. Canada has contributed roughly USD 350,000, while Australia stands at around USD 260,000. The United Kingdom and Germany have also delivered healthy numbers, helping the film build a broad international base well ahead of release.
A major chunk of the early business is being driven by opening day demand. Wednesday previews in North America alone have generated about USD 875,000, showing that the film is landing like a genuine event release. With a wider international rollout than a standard Indian title, Ramayana: Part One is benefiting from reach as much as star power.
Why The Usd 23 Million Plus Start Looks Within Reach
The current advance trend gives Ramayana: Part One a clear shot at crossing USD 23 million in its overseas opening weekend. The absence of Middle East bookings at this stage leaves room for another major addition, and the film is already showing strength in key diaspora hubs. That combination has turned it into one of the strongest pre-sale stories for a Hindi film in the overseas market.

The early pattern also suggests the film is not relying on a single pocket for its business. It is drawing support across the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and other international circuits. That kind of spread matters because it points to sustained weekend volume rather than a front-loaded burst in one territory.
Cast, Crew And Film Details
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana: Part One is a Hindi-language epic mythological drama starring Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. The film is produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, and serves as the first chapter of a planned two-part adaptation of the Ramayana. Its theatrical release is scheduled for November 5, 2026.
The scale of the project has been central to its buzz. Mounted as a global event film, it blends a marquee ensemble with one of Indian storytelling’s most enduring epics, a combination that is clearly translating into strong advance demand overseas.
