Even with Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam: The Conclusion taking over screens, this devotional drama about Neem Karoli Baba pulled in Rs 7.50 crore over its 9th weekend, the biggest Week 9 weekend ever recorded.

A Slow Burn That Caught Fire
Hanuman Ansh did not arrive with a bang. It earned under a crore in each of its first two weeks, the kind of start that usually ends a film’s run. Then audiences took over. Week 3 jumped past Rs 10 crore, Week 4 crossed Rs 58 crore, and Week 5 peaked at Rs 84.75 crore. Weeks 6 and 7 held strongly at Rs 76.75 crore and Rs 42.75 crore, and Week 8 added another Rs 27 crore. That is how a film grows when word of mouth does the selling instead of marketing.
Holding Strong Against Drishyam 3
The real test came when Drishyam: The Conclusion hit theatres and grabbed a huge share of screens. Hanuman Ansh still collected Rs 2.50 crore on Friday and Rs 2 crore on Saturday, with Sunday estimated at Rs 3 crore. A film in its ninth week rarely sees a Sunday jump like that, and it shows how loyal its audience is.
Why Is It Still Working?
The film’s strength lies in its devotional theme. The story of Neem Karoli Baba, whom you can read more about on Wikipedia, connects with families, elders and repeat viewers who return to theatres for the experience as much as the story. Trade reports say positive word of mouth should keep the film gaining traction for a couple more weeks. Given its modest beginning, it is also described as having one of the highest returns on investment of all time.
What Comes Next?
The film is expected to close this week at around Rs 312 to 314 crore nett. If current trends hold, its full theatrical run could wind up near the Rs 350 crore mark. Keep in mind that Sunday’s figure is an estimate and all numbers are trade projections rather than certified accounts, so small revisions are likely. Want to know what else is ruling theatres?
