Opening days make or break big films, and *Ramayana: Part One* is walking into a tricky window. Pinkvilla’s trade tracker has now issued its final forecast, and it’s a little lower than the earlier buzz suggested. Here’s the quick breakdown.

## Ramayana : First-Day Forecast Table

| Release Date | Film | Low-End | High-End | Pinpoint |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 5 Nov 2026 | Ramayana: Part One (Hindi) | Rs 52 cr | Rs 60 cr | Rs 56 cr |
| 27 Nov 2026 | Yeh Prem Mol Liya | Rs 4 cr | Rs 7 cr | Rs 5.5 cr |
| 27 Nov 2026 | Gunmaaster G9 | Rs 3 cr | Rs 6 cr | Rs 5 cr |

*All figures are nett estimates and exclude 3D charges, which would add roughly 10%.*

## Why Ramayana Is Slightly Short?

According to [Pinkvilla’s report](https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/box-office/pinkvilla-predicts-first-day-box-office-forecast-for-yeh-prem-mol-liya-and-gunmaaster-g9-final-update-for-ramayana-part-one-1406254), the film is coming in a bit short of expectations. Two reasons stand out:

- **North India:** the pre-Diwali period limits business.
- **South India:** dubbed versions appear to be eating into the Hindi version’s business in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

So the final forecast was revised downward. Pinkvilla’s [advance booking update](https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/box-office/ramayana-part-one-advance-bookings-update-ranbir-kapoor-yash-starrer-battles-pre-diwali-rakes-in-rs-30-cr-in-presales-1406243) has the film at about Rs 30 crore in presales.

## Two New Entrants for 27 November

**Yeh Prem Mol Liya:** Sooraj Barjatya’s return is the big talking point. His films are known more for staying power than explosive openings, and lead Ayushmann Khurrana’s recent non-franchise films opened at around Rs 3-4 crore. Expect a low start, with possible upside from the director’s track record.

**Gunmaaster G9:** Following *Awaraapan 2*’s success, there are some expectations. But this film lacks that film’s IP value. Music and the trailer will be decisive.

## FAQs

1. Why was the Ramayana forecast revised down?

The pre-Diwali slump in North India and competition from dubbed versions in Bengaluru and Hyderabad are limiting business.
