Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming magnum opus Ramayana is already creating waves globally with its hype and advance booking trends. With two more days to go before its grand worldwide release, the film has already crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in pre-sales worldwide. Interestingly, very few Indian films have managed to achieve the feat, highlighting the anticipation and buzz surrounding the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer. 

Ramayana crosses Rs 100 crore in pre-sales

For the unversed, the advance bookings for Ramayana opened on Dussehra, October 20, that is 15 full days before its global release. However, after a strong start on day 1 of pre-sales, the pace slowed down, largely since only the Hindi shows were open for booking over the first 10 days. Most of the single-screen and smaller cinema halls did not open for booking till last week. This was reportedly because Dharma Productions was in negotiations with the exhibitors for a higher revenue share. However, last Friday, more screens were added over the weekend.
