New Delhi: The advance bookings for Ramayana are showing an interesting trend across languages, with Kannada audiences emerging as a notable part in the
early estimates. Yash, who plays Ravana in the film, has a strong following among Kannada-speaking viewers, and his presence appears to be helping the film attract attention in Karnataka.
The early numbers also show that interest in the Kannada version is largely centred in Bengaluru. The city accounts for around 78% of the Kannada version’s advance gross, suggesting that bookings outside the state capital are still relatively limited.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash. Ramayana is being made with Rs 4,000 crore, and the first part will be released worldwide on Thursday, November 5.
Ramayana advance booking report
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Hindi screenings accounted for approximately 95% of the film’s domestic advance gross. The Kannada version had collected around Rs 28 lakh in advance bookings, with Bengaluru contributing the bulk of that amount.
The Telugu version has had comparatively limited screening availability so far. As a result, its early booking figures may not accurately reflect the film’s eventual demand in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. More screenings and wider booking availability could provide a clearer picture of audience interest closer to release.

Ramayana vs Dhurandhar: The Revenge
The early comparison favours Dhurandhar: The Revenge. According to Sacnilk, the opening day advance booking collection of Dhurandhar 2 stands at Rs 7.80 crore, more than twice Ramayana’s Rs 3.13 crore during its first 24 hours. These figures reflect an early booking window, not the films’ final advance collections or opening day box office results.
Ramayana’s booking picture also varies by language. While Hindi screenings account for the bulk of its early revenue, Telugu bookings remain limited because relatively few screenings have opened. This makes it difficult to judge the film’s eventual demand in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana from the current numbers alone.
Sri Venkateswara Creations is handling distribution in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. As the November 5 release approaches and ticket sales expand, the next few weeks should offer a better sense of whether Ramayana can narrow the early gap with Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
