Hanuman Ansh has reached a worldwide gross of Rs 439.98 crore after 69 days, according to Sacnilk data cited by The Times of India. On Wednesday, October 14, the film added Rs 1.25 crore net in India, a 7.4% dip from the previous day’s Rs 1.35 crore.
Day 69 at a glance
- Worldwide gross: Rs 439.98 crore
- India net: Rs 338.33 crore
- India gross: Rs 399.28 crore
- Overseas total: Rs 40.70 crore
- Day 69 India net: Rs 1.25 crore (down 7.4%)
The language split
The Hindi version, now in its 69th day, collected Rs 45 lakh from 1,823 shows at 10% occupancy. The Telugu version, released on October 9 and therefore on Day 6, earned Rs 80 lakh from 1,110 shows at 19% occupancy. The two versions played 2,933 shows together.
A late-blooming run
The weekly record shows why the total is notable. Hanuman Ansh collected Rs 1.08 crore in its first week and Rs 40 lakh in its second, before collections turned: Rs 10.40 crore in week three and Rs 61 crore in week four. The peak came in weeks five and six, at Rs 90.25 crore and Rs 80.25 crore. Weeks seven, eight and nine brought Rs 44.80 crore, Rs 29.20 crore and Rs 10.60 crore respectively.
Why the shape of the run matters
For readers who follow Hindi cinema as a record, this is a useful counter-example to opening-weekend logic. A first week of Rs 1.08 crore would normally signal a short run. Instead, the film peaked at Rs 90.25 crore in week five and remains in release. It is also a reminder that some films are found late rather than opened aggressively. The Telugu expansion, now on Day 6, is delivering more per show than the Hindi print in its 69th day.
The practical takeaway is patience. A single 7.4% daily dip is not a trend, especially while the newer language version is still settling. The relevant marker is whether the Telugu week-two hold remains stronger than the Hindi version’s current occupancy, because that will determine how much longer the worldwide total moves.
Tenth-week rhythm
The film opened its tenth week at Rs 1.20 crore on Friday, October 9, then jumped to Rs 2.50 crore on Saturday and Rs 2.80 crore on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday held at Rs 1.25 crore and Rs 1.35 crore, before Wednesday settled at Rs 1.25 crore. That range is modest, but it is steadier than the film’s earliest weeks. Overseas added Rs 10 lakh on Day 69.
What the film is
Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, the Hindi film tells the story of Lakshmi Narayan, who later becomes the spiritual figure Neem Karoli Baba. Shobhinaw Satyaa and Chandan Anand play the lead roles, with a supporting cast that includes Anil Rastogi, Purnima Tiwwari, Sugandha Malhotra, Bhagvandas Patel and Neha Paranjpe.
