'Hanuman Ansh' box office day 26: Neem Karoli Baba biopic surpasses 'Toxic's earnings
Surprising all, the modestly budgeted biopic 'Hanuman Ansh' has established itself as a box office hit, maintaining a strong performance weeks after its launch. On its 26th day, the film outperformed a heavyweight contender in terms of revenue. With an overall collection of Rs 63.82 crore in India, this film beautifully chronicles the journey of the revered Neem Karoli Baba.
On Day 26, the small-budget biopic Hanuman Ansh surpassed the earnings of Yash's Toxic, becoming one of the year's biggest box office surprises. Starting with a modest opening total of around Rs 10 lakh, the film struggled during its opening fortnight, earning just about Rs 1.48 crore. However, it saw a significant surge on Day 17, posting Rs 2.20 crore, fueled by strong word-of-mouth and favorable online reviews.
This momentum continued into week three, contributing Rs 10.40 crore to the total collection. According to Sacnilk data, Hanuman Ansh experienced a remarkable 54.56 percent jump in its Day 26 numbers, earning Rs 8.50 crore from 7,008 showings across the country. This single-day performance outpaced Toxic's Rs 7.85 crore collection on Day 7.
Consequently, Hanuman Ansh's overall India gross reached Rs 63.82 crore, with a net collection of Rs 54.13 crore. Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, the film chronicles the life story of Neem Karoli Baba, also known as Maharaj-ji, and was released on August 7, 2026, amidst competition from films like Ohh My Dog and Aryabhatta Ka Zero.
