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, 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.

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.
