The film 'Hanuman ANSH' is demonstrating significant success at the box office, evoking a sense of devotion among viewers. This film is dedicated to the connection between Neem Karoli Baba and Hanuman, showcasing the latter's selflessness towards Baba. During screenings, deep respect and faith in the god Hanuman are observed among the audience.
In some cinemas, a special tradition is practiced: seat number 9 is specifically reserved for the god Hanuman, and no one is allowed to sit there. Mirage Cinema announced on social media its decision to reserve seat number 9 for Neem Karoli Baba, believing he would watch this film with his followers. This initiative received positive feedback in one social media group, but another segment of the public expressed confusion regarding the reason for reserving the ninth seat specifically.
In many regions of India, there is a belief that Neem Karoli Baba was an incarnation or part of the god Hanuman. Furthermore, in Hindu beliefs and numerology, the number 9 is also associated with the god Hanuman. The number 9 is linked to the planet Mars, which symbolizes bravery, strength, energy, and determination—qualities traditionally attributed to Hanuman. Worship of Hanuman is also practiced for protection against negative planetary influences, especially from Saturn.
Users attribute the film's success in cinemas to the miracles of Neem Karoli Baba. 'Hanuman ANSH' has earned over 700 million rupees in 26 days and is soon expected to reach the 1 billion rupee mark. Given the film's success in India, a release abroad is planned, which is good news for international admirers of Neem Karoli Baba who have expressed great enthusiasm about it.
