Hanuman Ansh crosses Rs 3 billion, becomes third highest Hindi grosser of 2026 behind Dhurandhar 2 and Border 2

## A Surprising Success

The film "Hanuman Ansh," directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, has achieved remarkable success by grossing over Rs 3 billion, making it the third highest-grossing Hindi film of 2026. This biopic on Neem Karoli Baba, released on August 7, initially struggled at the box office but managed a significant turnaround.

## Initial Struggles

Upon its release, "Hanuman Ansh" faced tough competition from other films like "Batwara" and "Awarapan 2." It opened with modest earnings of Rs 10 lakh across 355 shows and saw a further decline in its first week. The film's show count was reduced to just 29, with daily collections dropping to Rs 4 lakh.

## The Comeback

Despite the initial setbacks, the film's team, including lead actor Shobhinaw Satya and director Vishal Chaturvedi, took proactive steps to revive interest. Their efforts, particularly in Surat, led to increased screenings and positive word-of-mouth, which significantly boosted the film's performance.

## Box Office Triumph

By its third week, "Hanuman Ansh" expanded to 1,847 shows in a single day. Its earnings soared, reaching Rs 12.75 crore on its fourth Sunday and Rs 22.50 crore on a subsequent Sunday. The film's resilience allowed it to withstand competition from other major releases like "Haiwaan" and "Mirzapur The Movie."

## Current Standing

As of Day 41, "Hanuman Ansh" has accumulated Rs 300.25 crore, with Rs 280 crore from domestic markets and Rs 20.25 crore internationally. It ranks third in the year's top Hindi grossers, following "Dhurandhar 2" and "Border 2." This achievement is particularly impressive given its earlier struggles and limited initial screenings.
