The advance booking for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming magnum opus Ramleela has began. The opening day advance bookings for the film kicked off to a good start. Occupying good space at most single screens in foremost metropolitan cities of India, the start has been magnanimous.

The film’s first shows are more than 40% booked in Delhi N.C.R circuit and in 30%-35% range in Mumbai Circuit. The noon shows in a few single screens of Kolkata saw a nearly 85-90% occupancy already which is fabulous. The first days shows in Pune too saw an occupancy in the range of 35%-50% varying depending on the screens. The noon shows of the film in Chennai too saw a soaring occupancy with many theaters recording over 80% occupancy already.

In Hyderabad too, the film saw a hefty opening day occupancy ranging above 80% in most theaters. In film’s lead actress Deepika Padukone’s hometown Bangalore, the film witnessed a 60% occupancy in most single theaters. Expected to open with a thud, the film being the latest offering from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s brand of work will be an welcome break from the regular masala commercial films which is reason enough to believe that it is grabbing eyeballs.
