He added, “This small budget film with a non-star cast is a crucial case study for the entire Indian film industry. It proves that true conviction and powerful storytelling always triumph over massive budget films at the box office. My heartiest congratulations to the entire team the producers, actors, and technicians for their brilliant dedication, and a big thank you to the audience for making this incredible film a roaring blockbuster!”
On opening day, Hanuman Ansh minted ₹ 10 lakh at the box office, according to Sacnilk. During the first two weeks, the film’s box office collection remained abysmally low, earning only ₹ 1.48 crore. The film started seeing an upward trend in box office numbers from Day 17, when it collected ₹ 2.20 crore. The film’s box office numbers remained nearly the same throughout the week, with the film collecting ₹ 10.40 crore in the third week.
National Award-winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has now hailed the success story of Hanuman Ansh and took to his X account to write about it. The film began to see footfall in theatres after it was lauded by audiences on social media, and positive word of mouth began to spread.
He said, “Witnessed pure cinematic magic watching #HanumanAnsh in the theatre the audience was completely glued to the screen! 🙌@filmervishal direction is wonderfully honest & tender, while actor Shobhinav Satya’s portrayal of Neem Karoli Baba is purely natural and flawless.
