Nitesh Tiwari’s magnum opus Ramayana unleashed its much-awaited 4-minute-plus trailer throughout the Brahma Muhurat on July 30. The visuals drove social media right into a frenzy with their grandeur. Meanwhile, Hans Zimmer & AR Rahman’s epic background rating created the much-needed impact! Nevertheless, in relation to the number game, the magnum opus has not registered the much-needed numbers!
Within the initial 24-hour cycle, the Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash starrer has didn’t match expectations, falling significantly in need of entering the highest 10 most-viewed Indian trailers of all time! Despite having massive partner channels, the cumulative 24-hour tally for the film stands at 48.9 million views.*
Ramayana Trailer Fails To Beat Adipurush!
The most important eye-opener in these figures is how Ramayana compares to a different mythological retelling based on the identical epic – Om Raut’s Adipurush (2023). Starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, the film registered 74 million views in its first 24 hours across all languages.
As compared, Ranbir Kapoor & Sai Pallavi‘s biggie registered 33.9% lower views than Adipurush trailer in the primary 24 hours! Despite facing heavy backlash later, Prabhas’s film generated far higher initial curiosity on YouTube.
Moreover, the Ramayana trailer didn’t break into the list of the highest 10 most-viewed Indian trailers in the primary 24 hours on YouTube. It settled below Ranbir Kapoor‘s last film Tu Jhoothi Foremost Makkaar, which registered a viewership of 50.9 million views with its trailer in the primary 24 hours on YouTube!
