On Friday, director Vishal Chaturvedi announced via a joint Instagram post that Hanuman Ansh will stream on SonyLIV from November 27! The film crossed the ₹ 300 crore mark at the domestic box office, a staggering feat given the film was mounted on a mere ₹ 2 crore budget. Hanuman Ansh , the sensational film about the life of Neem Karoli Baba, is finally coming to OTT. The devotional film, made with a shoestring budget and no stars, has emerged as one of the biggest box office success stories in Indian cinema history.
The film collected ₹ 342.44 crore net and ₹ 452.86 crore worldwide, according to figures shared by Sacnilk. Hanuman Ansh opened at a paltry ₹ 10 lakh and had earned barely ₹ 1.50 crore in its first two weeks. Since its fourth week, Hanuman Ansh collected over ₹ 60 crore in net at the Indian box office each week. In its eighth week, Hanuman Ansh crossed the ₹ 300-crore mark at the domestic box office, something fewer than 25 Hindi films have managed before it. It spent over 80 days at the box office, a momentous feat in itself.
The announcement for the OTT release of Hanuman Ansh read, “A divine force. An extraordinary story. A film loved by the nation, now coming home. Hanuman Ansh, arriving on Sony LIV on 27th November! The film stars Shobhinaw Satyaa in the lead role alongside Vihaan Shedge, Chandan K Anand, Purnima Tiwari, Anil Rastogi, Gulshan Pandey and Bhagvandas Patel. The film had a slow start and was actually written off after its first two weeks in theatres. However, after that, positive word of mouth took over, and the ticket sales shot up.
