The ticket window is already buzzing. With the film just days away, Ramayana: Part One has sold around 2 lakh tickets for its opening day in India’s top national chains. The big surge is still to come.

Ramayana: The Pre-Sales Snapshot

As of November 1 (11:45 PM), the epic had sold roughly 2 lakh tickets at PVR Inox and Cinepolis combined. Trade estimates, as reported by Pinkvilla, suggest the film could land among the top advance-sales performers, if not the very top.

IMAX Is Filling Up Fast

Premium formats are leading the rush. IMAX screens are reportedly selling quickly, with almost all prime seats already booked. For a film built on scale and spectacle, that’s a strong early signal. Audiences clearly want to see this story on the biggest screen possible.

The Big Chunk Is Still Missing

Here’s the exciting part. Advance booking has not yet fully opened in several key segments:

Non-national multiplex chains
Single-screen theatres
South Indian markets

Single screens and southern states are often crucial for large-scale event films. Once those windows open, the opening-day numbers could climb sharply.

Why the Final Stretch Matters Most?

Experts say advance sales are really decided in the last few days. The period from the Monday before release to the day before release carries the most weight. The final day can even change the whole outlook.

That’s when Ramayana will be compared with other big openers, including Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which opened general weekend sales four days before its release. For now, the film has a healthy head start and the momentum to build on it.

A Story Audiences Already Love

The film draws on the Ramayana, one of India’s most cherished epics. That familiarity is a big reason why interest runs high across age groups. Families, devotees and moviegoers who love large-scale cinema can all find a reason to show up.
