Ramayana advance bookings to open on Dussehra ahead of November 5 theatrical release
Advance sales opened on select platforms as the two-part epic drew early premium-format bookings and a dispute over revenue shares slowed wider rollout.

- According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film sold 86,187 tickets for the November 5 opening, with Delhi-NCR emerging as the leading market and contributing Rs 1.42 crore from 18,674 tickets.
