The numbers are in, and they’re big. Ramayana Part One, with Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, closed its advance sales at about Rs 143.50 crore worldwide, the second-biggest advance for any Bollywood film. Only Dhurandhar: The Revenge has done better. Here’s how the figures break down and what they mean for the opening.
Ramayana Advance Booking
| Detail | Figure |
|---|---|
| Worldwide advance | ~Rs 143.50 crore |
| India | ~Rs 71 crore |
| Overseas | ~Rs 72.50 crore (USD 7.625M) |
| Hindi day-one advance | Rs 23.50 cr nett (top 10 ever) |
| Projected Hindi opening | Rs 55-60 cr nett |
| Projected dubbed opening | ~Rs 15 cr nett |
Where the India Presales Came From?
| Language | Gross |
|---|---|
| Hindi | Rs 57.50 cr |
| Kannada | Rs 6.50 cr |
| Telugu | Rs 4.50 cr |
| Tamil and Malayalam | Rs 2.50 cr |
| India total | Rs 71.00 cr |
The Hindi version dominates, but the South dubbed versions add about Rs 13.50 crore, which is a healthy extra layer for a pan-India release.
The Overseas Story
The United States is leading the charge, with USD 4.40 million in presales for the weekend so far. That’s the second-best presale ever for a Bollywood film, behind only Dhurandhar: The Revenge and more than double the next best, Jawan and Pathaan. Bookings in other markets cooled in the last few days and are now close to, or slightly behind, those two films. Even so, the film remains on course for an overseas opening weekend above USD 20 million. The target was probably higher, closer to USD 25-30 million, given the film’s scale and Sony’s marketing spend.
Why the Domestic Numbers Look Muted?
Hindi day-one advance of Rs 23.50 crore nett sits among the top ten of all time, yet it falls short of the sky-high expectations. The reason is timing. The film opens before Diwali, which is traditionally a slow period for the Hindi box office, as audiences focus on festive plans.
What Happens Next?
The trade expects a seesaw run over the next five days, with collections falling one day and rising the next. Monday could be the biggest day, as Hindi circuits return in full force after the Diwali celebrations. That day will set the tone for the film’s lifetime run. As Pinkvilla warns, some higher advance figures online are scraped from booking sites and include blocked seats, so treat those with caution.
