A Slow Burn That Turned Into a Blockbuster
“Hanuman Ansh,” written and directed by Dr. Vishal Chaturvedi, opened to almost no buzz. Its first two weeks barely crossed Rs. 1 crore combined. But then something shifted — word of mouth kicked in, and the film’s connection to the story of Neem Karoli Baba, the revered spiritual guru, struck a deep chord with audiences across India.
By its 8th Friday, the film added another Rs. 3 crore, pushing its total nett collection to a staggering Rs. 277.25 crore — an almost unheard-of trajectory for a movie with this kind of humble start.
