Hanuman Ansh's Box Office Rise: From Rs 10 Lakh Opening to Over Rs 47 Crore Gross
Hanuman Ansh, a devotional film about Neem Karoli Baba, opened on August 7, 2026, with a modest Rs 10 lakh but experienced a remarkable box office turnaround. Initially slow, it gained momentum through strong word-of-mouth, reaching over Rs 47 crore gross and Rs 40 crore net in India within 24 days. Made on a Rs 2 crore budget, the film's success is notable for its low promotion and absence of major stars, with industry experts suggesting it could become one of the most profitable Indian films of the year.
