Hanuman Ansh crosses Rs 3 billion, becomes third highest Hindi grosser of 2026 behind Dhurandhar 2 and Border 2
Three weeks ago, Hanuman Ansh was down to 29 shows a day and Rs 4 lakh in daily collections, a film that looked all but finished before the makers themselves decided it wasn't over. Today, it stands as the third-highest Hindi grosser of the year, having turned a budget of under Rs 2 crore into a total haul of Rs 3 billion. That's roughly 150 times what it cost to make. What to watch in UAE…
Hanuman Ansh has reached an impressive Rs 3 billion in worldwide grosses, making it the third-highest Hindi film of 2026 behind Dhurandhar 2 and Border 2. The movie, based on the life of Neem Karoli Baba and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, began with a brutal opening, earning just Rs 10 lakh on its first day across 355 shows. Its first week saw a decline, with daily collections falling to Rs 4 lakh as theatres cleared space for competing releases.
Things took a turn when the lead actor and director started physically promoting the film, which led to an increase in show count from 29 to 1,847 by Day 19. The film's momentum continued, with Rs 12.75 crore collected on its fourth Sunday across 5,363 shows. Despite competition from other releases like Akshay Kumar's Haiwaan, Mirzapur The Movie, and Geethu Mohandas's Toxic, Hanuman Ansh managed to outlast them all.
Over 40 days, the film earned Rs 6 crore, totaling Rs 300.25 crore domestically and Rs 20.25 crore from overseas.
