Some box office stories don’t need a big opening — they need staying power. **Hanuman Ansh**, the low-budget devotional biopic tracing a grieving boy’s transformation into the saint Neem Karoli Baba, just added another Rs. 6.25 crore nett on its sixth Wednesday, pushing its India total to roughly **Rs. 226 crore**. Even with its first real signs of a normal drop this week, the film is still holding firm in markets like Maharashtra and South India.

The film centers on the life of [Neem Karoli Baba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neem_Karoli_Baba), the revered Indian guru whose devotees have included several well-known global figures over the decades — a backstory that appears to be part of why the film’s word-of-mouth has traveled so far beyond a typical devotional release.

| Week Five | Rs. 85.00 cr |

What makes this run remarkable is the trajectory: most Hindi films peak in week one and fade fast. Hanuman Ansh did the opposite, climbing steadily from a near-invisible opening into one of the year’s biggest sleeper hits, with trade estimates now pointing toward a possible Rs. 300 crore nett lifetime [finish](https://technosports.co.in/).
