Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana advance bookings cross 1 lakh tickets, earn over Rs 8 crore

Director Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Rise of a Legend grossed Rs 8.27 crore including block seats and Rs 6.25 crore excluding them. The upcoming epic drama based on Valmiki's ancient text features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman.

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Ramayana: Rise of a Legend sold over 1.47 lakh tickets across 3,964 shows as of October 23, 2026, at 11:42 am. Beneath the headline figures lies a more telling trend: the growth in advance ticket sales is being driven primarily by genuine audience demand rather than exhibitor-blocked



inventory.

While total gross — including block seats — rose 52% to reach Rs 8.27 crore, collections excluding block seats surged by 73%, climbing from Rs 3.61 crore to Rs 6.25 crore. Consequently, blocked seats have shrunk from roughly 34% of the initial gross to about 24%. Highlighting this organic momentum, nearly 93% of the Rs 2.83 crore added during this window came directly from unblocked, confirmed ticket purchases.

The total show count expanded by 12%, whereas overall ticket bookings — inclusive of blocked seats — jumped by 58%. This boosted average sales per show from 26 to 37 tickets, reflecting steady traction across screenings.
