Hanuman Ansh, the film based on the life of Neem Karoli Baba, continued its long theatrical run over the weekend, earning Rs 2.10 crore on its eighth Saturday — day 58 of its release — from 1,339 screens, according to trade figures reported by News18. The film's momentum has held even after the arrival of Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 3, which released on October 2 and claimed a large share of screens.
The report suggests the film will close its eighth weekend with earnings of over Rs 6 crore. Its current India net collection stands at Rs 321.73 crore, with a domestic gross of Rs 379.96 crore and worldwide earnings of Rs 419.46 crore.
Chasing the second spot
The film is now about Rs 20 crore away from crossing the lifetime India net collection of Border 2, which stood at Rs 341.70 crore, per the report. Overtaking that mark would make Hanuman Ansh the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2026. The top position remains with Aditya Dhar's spy thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, at Rs 1,108.90 crore domestic net.
The film's sustained performance is notable because its screen count has reduced with the release and demand for Drishyam 3, which opened to Rs 62 crore net on day one and added Rs 53.50 crore on day two, per Sacnilk figures cited in the same report. Industry estimates are provisional and may be revised.
