Ramayana Sunday advance booking hits Rs 24.98 crore
The Ranbir Kapoor–Yash epic sold 8.11 lakh tickets for Sunday by Saturday afternoon, with Karnataka and Bengaluru leading demand.
Advance bookings for Ramayana – Part I’s first Sunday have crossed Rs 24.98 crore across all language versions, giving the Ranbir Kapoor–Yash epic a strong base for the final day of its extended opening weekend.
By 2:30 PM on Saturday, November 7, the film had sold 8,11,821 tickets for Sunday across 20,397 shows, according to box office data shared by Bollywood Hungama. That is a meaningful early signal for a big-canvas film that opened strongly but has seen daily collections move around.
The collections so far
The advance number lands after two very different days at the box office. Thursday opened with scale, Friday eased, and the Saturday trend has been better, setting up Sunday as the real test.
- Thursday opening: Rs 62.47 crore nett
- Friday collection: Rs 45.84 crore nett
- Sunday advance sales by Saturday afternoon: Rs 24.98 crore
South India is leading the Sunday map
The state-level picture is where the story gets interesting. Karnataka is the top state for Sunday advance bookings, followed by Maharashtra and Telangana. Among cities, Bengaluru leads, ahead of Mumbai and Hyderabad.
That southern lean is consistent with Yash’s strong fan base in Karnataka and the wider Kannada market. Bengaluru sitting at number one makes the local anticipation clear. Hyderabad’s presence also shows how much the Telugu-speaking audience matters, while Mumbai continues to be a major contributor.
Why the geography matters
Two of the top three cities and two of the top three states are in South India, even as the Hindi version has accounted for most of the film’s nationwide box office collections so far. In other words, the southern versions are doing heavy lifting in early bookings before Sunday’s walk-in audiences are counted.
For the trade, the city and state splits matter because they show which language versions are attracting early interest. Karnataka leading the state list is an indicator of sustained demand in a market where star power can carry a film through the weekend.
What Sunday has to settle
After a Rs 62.47 crore nett start and a Rs 45.84 crore nett Friday, the film’s weekend has already shown how quickly totals can shift. Saturday improved, and the Sunday advance figure of Rs 24.98 crore is a cushion, not a guarantee. Spot bookings, occupancy levels and show counts across languages will decide how big the final day actually is.
Advance sales are not the final result, but they are a useful leading indicator. The film enters Sunday with a ticket-sales base of Rs 24.98 crore already locked. The question now is whether the momentum converts into a massive fourth-day collection.
