The second trailer dropped, and the tickets followed. Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s Ramayana Part One has begun international advance sales on a very strong note, and early tracking suggests the epic is off to a flying start.
How Strong Is the Start?
Presales opened alongside the release of the film’s second trailer. Early numbers look excellent in key markets like the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Overall, the start is broadly comparable to Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which posted phenomenal presales earlier this year.
Ramayana Part One: Overseas Presales Snapshot
| Market | Early Numbers | How It Compares |
|---|---|---|
| United States | About USD 125,000 for previews in the first 24 hours; about USD 200,000 for the full weekend | Higher than Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s first 24 hours, though that film had a limited rollout at first |
| Australia | About AUD 40,000 for the weekend | Second-best start ever for a Bollywood film, behind Dhurandhar: The Revenge |
| United Kingdom | Strong sales | Currently trails Jawan and Pathaan |
For context, Dhurandhar: The Revenge had around USD 300,000 in US weekend presales by its third day, when it expanded widely. Ramayana has begun with a full slate right from day one.
Why Sony Pictures Matters?
The international release is handled by Sony Pictures, and its muscle is showing. The film has secured strong showcasing across overseas markets, which is rare for an Indian film this far ahead of release. More importantly, shows are being allocated at high-performing locations in Indian diaspora hotspots, rather than padding the count with token single-show bookings. That focus on quality over quantity can make a real difference to final numbers.
A Quick Word of Caution
Higher advance figures may be circulating online, but these are not actual collections. Many are scraped from ticket-booking sites, include blocked seats, and use face-value ticket prices. Since many tickets are sold on passes at lower average prices, such figures can look inflated. Treat all numbers here as trade estimates.
