Sacnilk said the film sold 86,187 tickets across 3,537 shows as limited bookings opened amid a revenue-sharing dispute.

  • On October 20, 2026, advance bookings for the two-part mythological epic Ramayana officially opened, though limited cinema availability persists due to a revenue-sharing dispute between distributors and exhibitors.
  • Dharma Productions reportedly seeks a 60%, 50%, and 40% revenue share across the first three weeks, exceeding the industry standard of 52.5%, 45%, and 37.5% and prompting many exhibitors to delay ticket sales.
  • According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film has grossed Rs 17.08 crore from 3.33 lakh tickets sold across 6,780 shows as of Friday, October 30, 2026, with overall occupancy at 11%.
  • Premium pricing for IMAX recliner seats in Mumbai has reached Rs 3,170, reflecting strong demand as the film approaches its November 5, 2026, worldwide release.
  • While Part 1 arrives in theatres on November 5, 2026, the project faces scrutiny over its song "Mangal Rang," which some critics alleged features "Qawwali-style" musical choices inappropriate for the epic's setting.
