With a fortnight yet to go before its theatrical debut, advance ticket sales for Ramayana have already approached the milestone of nearly ₹5 crore pan-India.
Ramayana Scores Spectacular Advance Sales
By Wednesday afternoon, advance bookings for Ramayana reached ₹5.35 crore nationwide across 3,542 screenings with 91,125 tickets sold, according to trade tracker Sacnilk.

Backed by Prime Focus Studios, DNEG, and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, the upcoming two-part Ramayana spectacle will head to global theaters on November 5, 2026, with its second chapter following in Diwali 2027. The saga is anchored by Ranbir Kapoor (Lord Rama), Sai Pallavi (Sita), Yash (Ravana), and Sunny Deol (Hanuman), supported by a powerhouse cast featuring Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, Vivek Oberoi, Kajal Aggarwal, and Rakul Preet Singh.
Sony Pictures will steer global distribution outside India, while Dharma Productions will oversee distribution in the Hindi-speaking market. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday announced that Ramayana will be tax-free in the state. Ranbir Kapoor previously shared that production on the sequel had already crossed the halfway mark earlier this year, assuring fans that development on the next chapter is well underway ahead of the inaugural film's launch.
