Hanuman Ansh earns Rs 316 crore, Neem Karoli Baba film makes 5x of Kareena Kapoor’s Daayra

Hanuman Ansh has continued to dominate the box office, amassing an impressive Rs 316.30 crore in worldwide grosses. Despite facing stiff competition from multiple releases, including Batwara 1947, Awarapan 2, Toxic, Haiwaan, and Daayra, the film has managed to maintain its strong theatrical presence. On its 43rd day of release, the movie collected Rs 5 crore, which is nearly five times the opening day earnings of Kareena Kapoor's Daayra.

Globally, Hanuman Ansh has generated Rs 21.75 crore in international box office collections, following its overseas release on September 11. The film's remarkable success has led the makers to announce two sequels, though it remains to be seen if it can sustain its momentum through the end of September. With a profit margin of over 150 times its investment, Hanuman Ansh stands as one of the most profitable Hindi films, outperforming the Dhurandhar franchise which collected around Rs 3,000 crore against a reported budget of Rs 300–350 crore.

It is also the third highest-grossing Hindi film of 2026 after Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Border 2.
