Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, continues to generate advance-booking interest as it approaches its second Sunday, November 15. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed mythological epic has registered advance ticket sales worth Rs. 11.71 crores nett across all languages and formats, with 3,54,479 tickets sold across 17,317 shows. The figures provide an encouraging early indication of demand for the film’s eleventh day in cinemas.
After crossing the historic Rs. 1000 crore worldwide milestone, Ramayana is now gearing up for its second weekend. A closer examination of Sunday’s advance bookings reveals some fascinating trends, particularly the dominance of 3D screenings and the competition among the South Indian language versions.
The Hindi version continues to drive Ramayana’s advance-booking business, generating Rs. 8.39 crores nett, accounting for approximately 71.62% of Sunday’s total. However, the biggest surprise comes from Tamil, which has emerged as the second-highest-grossing language in the latest advance-booking snapshot. Tamil has collected approximately Rs. 98.85 lakh nett, narrowly ahead of Malayalam’s Rs. 93.62 lakh. Kannada follows with Rs. 77.63 lakh, while Telugu has generated Rs. 62.29 lakh.
Interestingly, Malayalam had emerged as the strongest South Indian language in Saturday’s latest advance-booking figures. However, Tamil has now taken the lead for Sunday, albeit by a narrow margin of approximately Rs. 5.22 lakh.
Collectively, the four South Indian versions have generated approximately Rs. 3.32 crores nett, contributing 28.38% of Sunday’s advance-booking revenue.
All 3D formats have collectively generated Rs. 9.16 crores nett, accounting for a staggering 78.23% of the total advance revenue.
In comparison, non-3D formats have contributed approximately Rs. 2.55 crores, representing just 21.77%.
Standard 3D alone has generated Rs. 6.52 crores nett, making it the biggest revenue-generating format.
Standard 2D follows with Rs. 2.47 crores, while IMAX 3D has contributed an impressive Rs. 2.10 crores.
Interestingly, 3D accounted for approximately 78.65% of Saturday’s latest advance-booking snapshot. Sunday’s figure of 78.23% suggests that the format-wise revenue mix has remained remarkably consistent across the two days.
