Hanuman Ansh Becomes 2026’s Third-Highest Hindi Grosser
Hanuman Ansh is a Hindi film about Neem Karoli Baba.
It started with very low earnings and was shown in only a few theatres.
The filmmakers visited theatres to tell more people about the movie.
Audiences responded well, so theatre owners added more shows.
The film then became much more popular through word of mouth.
It earned Rs 300.25 crore in 40 days.
It collected another Rs 6 crore on its 41st day.
The film has earned more than several bigger releases, including Mirzapur The Movie and Toxic.
It is now the third-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2026.
Hanuman Ansh earned Rs 300.25 crore in its first 40 days, including Rs 280 crore in India and Rs 20.25 crore overseas.
The Neem Karoli Baba-based film collected Rs 6 crore on its 41st day, down 27.3% from Rs 8.25 crore on Day 40.
Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, the film opened to just Rs 10 lakh across 355 shows before initially losing screens.
Word-of-mouth publicity and theatre visits by Chaturvedi and lead actor Shobhinaw Satya helped increase its shows and collections.
Hanuman Ansh is now the third-highest Hindi grosser of 2026, behind Dhuarndhar 2 and Border 2.
