All eyes are on Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's Ramayana. Releasing during Diwali week globally, the Nitesh Tiwari-directed mythological drama is among the most anticipated releases of 2026. Eagerness comes with high stakes. Mounted on a mammoth multi-thousand crore budget, including the second part of the franchise, Ramayana is positioned as a premium theatrical experience. The advance booking across India opened on Dussehra (October 20), whereas pre-sales had started much earlier for the overseas market. Till Monday, October 26, Ramayana has sold around 2.25 lakh tickets worldwide.
\n\nReportedly, Ramayana has already earned Rs 20.50 crore worldwide in advance gross. This data is said to include the collection from the film’s prepaid previews on November 4 and opening day advances for November 5. While bookings for paid previews in India are yet to begin, the international audience has expressed keen interest in watching the film before the rest.
