A Monumental Opening in the Making
The anticipation surrounding the release of 'Ramayana: Part 1' has reached a fever pitch. With its theatrical debut set for November 5, the film has already crossed Rs 36 crore in total advance booking collections for its first two days. Industry trackers report that the mythological epic has sold over 8.38 lakh tickets across thousands of shows, signaling a massive turnout for director Nitesh Tiwari’s latest venture.
The Star-Studded Cast
Produced by Namit Malhotra, the film brings together a pan-Indian ensemble cast that has fueled significant interest across different regions. Ranbir Kapoor stars as Lord Rama, with Sai Pallavi portraying Goddess Sita. However, the casting of Yash as the antagonist, Ravana, has proven to be a major draw, particularly in Southern markets, where the dubbed versions have seen strong uptake.

Beyond the Big Screen
The film’s marketing has been as bold as its scale. Recently, Ranbir Kapoor made headlines by drawing a comparison between modern technological marvels and the ancient epic. During a promotion, the actor referenced Elon Musk's flying car concepts, suggesting, 'I think India did it 5,000 years back with Pushpak Vimaan!' This connection between ancient mythology and modern-day innovation has become a talking point among the movie's fan base.
I must also add that Elon Musk recently invented a flying car. I think India did it 5,000 years back with Pushpak Vimaan!
