Namit Malhotra's ambitious cinematic adaptation of 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend' has launched its theatrical release with an impressive surge in advance bookings. The film has already amassed a combined worldwide total of over Rs 150 crore in advance ticket sales, encompassing both domestic and international markets.

The Hindi version contributed the largest share, accounting for about 75 percent of these advance sales. Major Indian cities like the National Capital Region, Mumbai, and Bengaluru showed robust ticket purchasing.
Internationally, the film's pre-release business has also seen considerable momentum, with overseas advance sales reportedly reaching approximately US$5.6 million.

However, the film might face competition in southern markets from regional releases.
