The first part of director Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated film 'Ramayana' is set to release in just a few days; however, reports now suggest that the wait for the second part might be longer than expected for the audience. Initially, 'Ramayana 2' was planned for a Diwali 2027 release, but producer Namit Malhotra is now considering pushing it to Diwali 2028.

Why might the release of 'Ramayana 2' be delayed?
According to media reports, the producers require additional time to complete the filming of 'Ramayana 2'. The second part features several major battle sequences, which are being crafted on a grand scale. This is the reason the producers are considering postponing its release by a year.

Reports indicate that while the first part is arriving in theaters soon, some portions of the second part are yet to be filmed. The true grandeur of 'Ramayana' will be witnessed in the second part, which focuses on the war. Consequently, the producers need more time to develop these sequences. That said, there has been no official announcement from the makers regarding a new release date.

Surge in bookings for 'Ramayana'
Data regarding bookings for 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend' has also emerged.
According to Sacnilk, as of the morning of October 23, over 147,000 tickets had been sold across 3,964 shows.
Including blocked seats, the total booking for the film reached ₹8.27 crore.
Excluding blocked seats, the revenue figure stands at ₹6.25 crore.

Increase in the number of shows.
The number of screenings for the film 'Ramayana' is also on the rise. Initially, 3,533 shows were being tracked; this figure has since risen by 12 percent to 3,964. Total bookings—including blocked seats—have increased by 58 percent, climbing from 92,755 tickets to over 1.47 lakh.

Consequently, the average number of tickets sold per show has risen from 26 to 37. However, none of the tracked shows had sold out, and a significant number of seats remained available. By Thursday night, advance bookings for the film across major multiplex chains—such as PVR INOX and Cinepolis—had surpassed the 50,000-ticket mark.

There was notably higher audience interest in premium formats like IMAX and 4DX, while bookings for standard multiplex screens were gaining momentum more gradually
