The film 'Ramayana', directed by Nitish Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, is generating significant global interest. Following its grand screening in Los Angeles, there has been a sharp increase in advance ticket sales in the international film market.
This project is considered very large-scale, making its strong position in the international market extremely important. The positive reaction received at the Los Angeles premiere has given the film's earnings in America the momentum that the creators had long anticipated.
Thanks to the initial response after the Los Angeles premiere, the pace of the film's promotion in foreign markets has doubled. According to Sacnilk, in just 24 hours, advance ticket sales in America increased from $631,000 to $800,000 (equivalent to approximately 6.6 crore rupees). This demonstrates a 27 percent growth, bringing in an additional $169,000 in just one day. This figure represents the largest single-day jump recorded since the start of advance sales in North America.
As a result of this new surge, 'Ramayana' is rapidly approaching the $1 million mark, which was previously reached by the film 'Animal' with Ranbir Kapoor during advance sales in North America. Although the film still has a way to reach this record, the response received immediately before its theatrical release is becoming a turning point for the picture.
At the premiere red carpet, held on October 27th in Los Angeles, were present the film's main actors and many celebrities. Initial reviews following the screening were highly positive. Audiences and critics praised the lavish sets, visual effects, and the actors' performances. Special attention is drawn to the character of Ravana, played by South Indian superstar Yash, whose presence on screen is very popular.
There are only six days left until the film's release in India, and advance sales rates across the country remain high. According to available data, 334 thousand tickets for 'Ramayana' have already been sold in India (of which 275 thousand exclude reserved seats). This has allowed the film to earn 17.13 crore rupees before the official release (14.28 crore rupees excluding reserved seats). Furthermore, 5.69 lakh tickets were booked after the application deadline at 6:00 AM. The highest demand for the film is observed in the Hindi region, but tickets for the Telugu and Kannada versions are also selling actively.
Nitish Tiwari's film is a two-part cinematic series based on the Indian mythological epic. In the first part, Ranbir Kapoor plays the role of Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi plays Mata Sita, and Yash plays Ravana. Additionally, Sunny Deol appears as Bajangbali Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey plays Lakshmana. The production of this grand film is handled by Namit Malhotra, who received technical support from Prime Focus and the Oscar-winning company DNEG. The film's musical score was created by two global giants—A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, who jointly prepared the soundtrack and music for the picture.
