Hanuman Ansh Devotional Film Surpasses Rs 40 Crore Net After Slow Start
Hanuman Ansh, a devotional film based on Neem Karoli Baba's life, opened on August 7, 2026, with a modest Rs 10 lakh but experienced a remarkable box office turnaround. Initially slow, the film's collections surged in its third and fourth weeks, driven by strong word-of-mouth, reaching over Rs 47 crore gross and Rs 40 crore net in India within 24 days. Made on a budget of around Rs 2 crore, it has become one of the most profitable Indian films of 2026, with industry experts noting its potential to cross Rs 100 crore lifetime earnings.
