Few films manage to stay in theatres for more than a month, let alone continue growing week over week, but Hanuman Ansh has done exactly that. On its 45th day of release, the spiritually-themed drama pulled in Rs 13.75 crore, a striking 41% jump from the previous day’s Rs 9.75 crore, pushing its India net collection to Rs 272.56 crore and its worldwide gross to Rs 347.05 crore.
The film’s seventh weekend told the story of its unusual staying power: Friday brought in Rs 5 crore, Saturday climbed to Rs 9.75 crore, and Sunday capped the weekend at Rs 13.75 crore — a growth curve that most films can only dream of achieving even in their opening week, let alone their seventh.

Directed, written and produced by Vishal Chaturvedi, and starring Shobhinaw Satyaa and Chandan Anand, Hanuman Ansh draws its story from the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba — a premise that, on paper, looked far less commercially safe than the high-concept action and comedy tentpoles that typically dominate the box office.
That the film has instead defied expectations and turned an entry into the Rs 350 crore club into what trade reports now call “a realistic dream” speaks to a level of word-of-mouth and repeat viewership rarely seen outside of major franchise releases. With momentum still building nearly seven weeks in, the film looks well placed to close out its theatrical run as one of 2026’s most surprising sleeper hits.

Trade analysts have pointed to strong repeat viewership among devotees of Neem Karoli Baba and word-of-mouth spreading through pilgrimage circuits and spiritual communities as key drivers behind the film’s unusual longevity, a pattern more commonly seen with regional devotional cinema than mainstream Hindi releases.
Should the film maintain even a fraction of its current weekend momentum, crossing the Rs 350 crore worldwide mark within the next few days now looks well within reach, cementing its place among the year’s most unexpected box office success stories.
The film’s producers have yet to comment on an official theatrical extension plan, but with occupancy reportedly rising in several tier-2 and tier-3 markets over the weekend, exhibitors appear willing to keep prime slots open for at least another fortnight.
