Ramayana Day 8 advance leaps 463% to Rs 23.37 cr
Ramayana Part I's Thursday advance bookings climb 463% to Rs 23.37 crore. Malayalam passes Kannada, and 3D formats lead with 66.77%.
The day-eight surge
Ramayana – Part I is not easing into its second week. As it enters day eight on Thursday, November 12, the Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic has already banked Rs 23.37 crore nett in advance collections across all languages, according to booking data shared by Bollywood Hungama. That works out to 7,40,320 tickets across 22,619 shows.
The jump is the bigger story. As of 6:30 AM on Monday, November 9, Thursday’s advance had collected just Rs 4.15 crore nett from 1,14,429 tickets. Since then, the figure has climbed 463.13%, adding Rs 19.22 crore, with more than 6.25 lakh additional tickets sold and 4,114 more shows listed.
Hindi leads, Malayalam surprises
Hindi remains the engine of the film, contributing Rs 18.49 crore, or about 79.14% of Thursday’s advance revenue. The regional split, however, is where the day gets interesting.
- Hindi: Rs 18.49 crore
- Malayalam: Rs 1.44 crore
- Kannada: Rs 1.42 crore
- Telugu: Rs 1.05 crore
- Tamil: Rs 95.57 lakh
Malayalam’s second-place finish is notable because Kannada and Telugu have generally been stronger during the film’s theatrical run so far. Collectively, the four South Indian versions account for roughly Rs 4.87 crore, or 20.86% of the Thursday advance.
3D is doing the heavy lifting
Audiences are paying for spectacle. All 3D formats together account for approximately Rs 15.60 crore, or 66.77% of advance revenue. Non-3D formats trail with Rs 7.76 crore, or 33.23%.
Standard 3D alone is the single biggest format at Rs 12.33 crore, about 52.77% of the total. Standard 2D follows at Rs 7.72 crore, IMAX 3D at Rs 2.44 crore, and 4DX 3D at Rs 57.59 lakh.
What to watch next
For fans, the message is simple: the format you want is moving early. Standard 3D is the most popular choice, but IMAX 3D’s Rs 2.44 crore shows there is real appetite at the premium end. If you are planning to catch the film in a South Indian language, the Malayalam run is the surprise to watch.
The second-week test for any big-screen epic is whether it can hold screens and keep adding shows. Day 8’s advance suggests Ramayana – Part I is doing both.
