Cinemas across India are adding unprecedented midnight screenings of Ramayana, with box office earnings exceeding Rs. 105 crore on Monday.
The excitement surrounding the mythological epic Ramayana, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has reached new heights as cinemas across India respond to overwhelming demand by adding a remarkable number of midnight shows. This surge comes in the wake of the film’s release on November 5, just ahead of the Diwali festivities.
As reported by Bollywood Hungama, cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad are witnessing an extraordinary increase in late-night screenings, with some theatres offering shows as late as 4:50 am. This unprecedented move is a response to capacity issues, as many fans were unable to catch the film during its initial days due to pre-Diwali commitments.
In Mumbai alone, several cinemas have scheduled multiple midnight shows, including Movietime Cubic Mall and Maxus Bhayander, which are offering screenings at various late hours. Pune and Ahmedabad are not far behind, with theatres like Cinepolis Aundh and Connplex Prahladnagar also joining the midnight frenzy.
Meanwhile, the film’s box office performance has been impressive. According to Pinkvilla, Ramayana is estimated to have earned over Rs. 105 crore on Monday alone, with the Hindi version contributing approximately Rs. 85 crore and the South dubbed versions adding another Rs. 20 crore. The film’s success is attributed to the strong turnout following the Diwali holiday, which has traditionally seen a spike in cinema attendance.
As the festive season continues, exhibitors are hopeful that the film will maintain its momentum, with audiences eager to experience this grand cinematic spectacle. The combination of midnight screenings and strong box office figures underscores the film’s significant impact on the Indian cinema landscape during this festive period.
