Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming mythological epic Ramayana: Part One is gaining momentum at the global box office, with worldwide advance bookings reportedly crossing the ₹40 crore mark ahead of its November 5 theatrical release.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film is attracting considerable interest in international markets, particularly North America. Its overseas pre-sales have become a major part of the film’s early box-office performance.
The latest figures indicate that audiences in India and overseas are showing interest in the big-screen adaptation of the Ramayana, featuring an ensemble cast led by Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash.
Ramayana Advance Booking Crosses ₹40 Crore Worldwide
According to trade estimates reported by Indian media outlets, Ramayana: Part One has generated more than ₹40 crore in worldwide advance bookings before its theatrical debut.
The film’s international performance has been particularly notable. North America has emerged as its biggest overseas market, with advance ticket sales receiving a boost following the film’s Los Angeles world premiere.
In India, advance bookings have also gathered pace after an initial delay caused by disagreements between distributors and cinema exhibitors over revenue-sharing terms.
By October 31, the film had recorded approximately ₹19.89 crore in domestic advance bookings, including blocked seats, according to trade tracking figures reported by Telegraph India. More than 4 lakh tickets had reportedly been sold.
Ramayana Movie Advance Booking Overseas Gains Momentum
International markets are playing an important role in the film’s pre-release performance. North America, which includes the United States and Canada, is leading overseas advance sales.
According to trade estimates reported by The Times of India, overseas advance bookings had reached approximately $3.45 million as of October 30.
North America contributed around $2.58 million, making it the strongest international territory for the film. The United Kingdom and Ireland followed with approximately $351,200, while Australia and New Zealand contributed around $313,000.
The film’s international release strategy includes paid preview screenings in North America on November 4, one day before its scheduled worldwide theatrical debut.
These early screenings have provided an additional opportunity to attract audiences ahead of the regular opening-day shows.
