Ramayana: Part I has recorded Rs 31.80 crore in advance bookings for its seventh day, Wednesday 11 November, with Hindi and 3D shows leading the sales. The film has already collected Rs 440.45 crore net in India in its first six days.
Ramayana: Part I has recorded Rs 31.80 crore in advance bookings for its seventh day, with strong demand continuing into the second week of its run. The advance booking figures, reported by a trade tracker, cover sales up to 2:00 am on Wednesday, 11 November, and show that audiences are still turning out in large numbers for the film.
The Day 7 advance booking gross stands at Rs 31.80 crore, with Rs 25.69 crore coming in excluding block seats. A total of 8.66 lakh tickets have been booked for the day so far, across 25,236 shows at 3,032 cinemas in 1,091 cities. The figures point to another strong day for the film, which has held up well since its release.
The National Capital Region is the top market for Day 7 advance sales, with Rs 4.09 crore in advance bookings. The region has been one of the strongest performing areas for the film since its opening day, and the advance sales suggest that demand there remains high.
Hindi and 3D lead the way
Hindi shows account for about 80 percent of the Day 7 advance gross, at Rs 25.42 crore. The Hindi version has driven the film's box office performance from the start, and the Day 7 figures show that trend continuing into the second week.
In terms of formats, 3D shows are leading the advance bookings at Rs 17.11 crore, ahead of standard 2D shows at Rs 10.23 crore. The gap between the two formats shows that audiences are choosing the 3D experience in large numbers, which has been a feature of the film's run since its release.
The strong advance bookings for Day 7 follow a solid first six days at the box office. The film has collected Rs 440.45 crore net in India in its first six days, a figure that places it among the biggest earners of the year. Its worldwide gross stands at Rs 823.50 crore.
Day 6 set the pace
Day 6, Tuesday 10 November, brought in Rs 94.10 crore net in India. That figure was covered in detail in the Day 6 box office report, and it showed the film holding strongly on a working day. The Day 7 advance bookings suggest the film is carrying that momentum forward.
The advance booking trend matters because it shows how much of a day's business is already locked in before the first shows begin. With Rs 31.80 crore already booked for Day 7, the film is well placed for another big day, though the final Day 7 collection figure is not yet available and will depend on spot bookings through the day.
Trade watchers will be looking at whether the film can sustain its pace through the rest of the week. The second week is often the real test for a big release, and the Day 7 advance numbers are an early sign that the film is holding up well after its opening weekend.
What the numbers mean
The scale of the advance bookings reflects the film's reach across the country, with shows booked in more than 1,000 cities. The combination of a wide release, strong Hindi demand and a clear preference for 3D shows has kept the film's box office performance ahead of most recent releases.
For now, the Day 7 advance booking figure of Rs 31.80 crore is the headline number. The final Day 7 collection will be known only after the day's shows are complete, and early estimates from trackers vary. The advance booking figure, however, is a firm number based on tickets already sold.
