The film 'Hanuman ANS,' dedicated to the life of Neem Karoli Baba, has been successful at the box office. This religious picture, shot on a small budget, has collected about 12 million rupees in India and continues to earn money.
In the film, actor Shobhinow Satya played the main role of Neem Karoli Baba, who received high praise from the audience for his performance.
In an interview on Hindi television, Shobhinow Satya recounted the numerous difficulties that the entire film crew and actors faced during production. He also noted that he felt the presence of Neem Karoli Baba on the set, considering everything that happened a miracle.
According to the actor, new problems arose daily. They would start the day with shooting plans, but obstacles would begin in the morning. There were times when the difficulties seemed so great that filming would never start. At those times, they would turn to the Hanuman Chalisa. After finishing the reading of the Chalisa, someone would appear, and the problems would disappear, allowing filming to begin.
The film 'Hanuman ANS' was released on August 7, 2026. In the first week, it earned between 850 thousand and 1.08 million rupees. In the second week, the collection dropped to 40–45 thousand rupees.
However, on the third weekend (August 16–17), the film received huge support from the audience, leading to a sharp increase in collections. During these weekend, the picture brought in about 3.20–3.40 million rupees. On the 18th day, the collection exceeded the first day's figures by 1130%, and on the 19th day, the net collection amounted to 4.67 million rupees, which is 273% more than at the beginning of the screening.
