Ramayana: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash film sees houseful shows 10 days before release; IMAX shows sell 400% more tickets despite ₹1095 average price

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s Ramayana has generated ₹8.72 crore through advance bookings, with close to 2 lakh tickets sold ahead of its release.

Hindi version remains the main driver

The Hindi-language release continues to dominate the film’s pre-sales, contributing 87% of total advance bookings. The early performance indicates that audience interest is currently concentrated in the Hindi market.

Demand is also beginning to spread to other language versions. Kannada screenings have recently expanded to around 100 screens and are approaching the ₹1 crore mark. Some centres have reported morning-show occupancy of as much as 72%.

Regional shows begin to open

Telugu screenings remain more limited, with shows available across approximately 10 to 15 screens. These bookings have crossed ₹1 lakh so far, significantly below the figures recorded by the Hindi and Kannada versions.

The film’s advance momentum has emerged around 10 days before release, while its IMAX shows are reported to be selling 400% more tickets despite an average ticket price of ₹1,095. The figures point to strong early interest, although the current booking pattern remains heavily weighted toward Hindi screenings.

What the bookings show

Ramayana’s pre-release sales reflect a strong start led by its primary-language market, with Kannada showing notable early traction as more screens open. Telugu contributes a smaller share at this stage because its release footprint remains limited.

Further bookings will determine whether the film’s regional-language demand broadens before release.
