See this image http://prntscr.com/7idx70 for more understanding.
I want to fetch Views total number of records in page.tpl.php before views.tpl called. Is it possible to fetch that row total before views rendered? I am also using contextual filter for this view. Views have page type display.
I have also used module https://www.drupal.org/project/views_record_count. but this will print total number of records on Views header or footer. (Not outside of views)

Anyway to answer your question.
One way is to get the count in the hook_views_pre_render and put it in a global or session and get it at the preoprocess of the page. Not the best solution.
or
Get the view via views_get_view() or views_get_current_view() in the preprocess of the page, since the view is cached in a static. The count should be in that object.
