According to trade estimates published by Sacnilk, the film has generated more than ₹100 crore in worldwide advance booking revenue, including blocked seats. Its strong pre-release performance reflects the growing anticipation surrounding the big-budget adaptation of the Indian epic.

The domestic market has contributed a significant share of the advance sales.

Including blocked seats, the domestic advance gross has reached approximately ₹72.6 crore. Overseas markets have also played an important role, contributing more than ₹40 crore in reported pre-sales.
