The film 'Hanuman ANS', dedicated to the life of Nim Karoli Baba, touches the hearts of viewers, and even major celebrities have become its followers. Following Varun Dhawan and Aditi Dhara, actress Priti Jinta also expressed her admiration for the picture.

Priti Jinta visited a cinema and watched the film 'Hanuman ANS'. Actor Shobhinav Satya, who played the role of Nim Karoli Baba, impressed her with his simplicity and sincerity, making her a fan of the film. During the screening at the cinema, she shared photos on her Instagram story, captioning one of them with the words 'Sita Ram' and 'Wah'.

In another photo, the actress urged her fans and admirers to watch the film 'Hanuman ANS' in theaters, writing: 'Don't miss it, friends.' Priti Jinta's posts indicate how much she liked this film. The simplicity and religious hymns recounting the life of Nim Karoli Baba have captivated all viewers, and the film is receiving an enormous positive response from the public.

The film 'Hanuman ANS' is demonstrating impressive box office earnings, setting numerous major records. The film's total gross collection in India reached 169.20 crore rupees, while the net collection amounted to 143.13 crore rupees. This film, shot on a budget of 2 crore rupees, caused a real sensation at the box office.

The popularity of the web series 'Mirzapur' was demonstrated by the recently released theatrical film 'Mirzapur: The Movie'. Released on Friday, the film attracted audience attention thanks to its recognizable characters and strong fan community. On its first day of release, it received extremely positive reviews from the public.

'Mirzapur: The Movie' started with box office collections of 25.75 crore rupees, which was one of the highest opening figures in the careers of the film's leading actors, including Pankaj Tripathi, Divyendu Sharma, and Ali Fazal. Positive word-of-mouth contributed to the film's growing popularity on the second day, which was Saturday.

According to Sakencode data, on the second day, the film collected a net income of 31 crore rupees, showing a 20% increase, while the cinema occupancy rate was around 50%. The total net income over two days reached 56.75 crore rupees. Approximately 11 thousand shows have been launched across the country. As for the worldwide gross, the film has already earned 78.45 crore rupees.

The release of the 'Mirzapur' series into cinemas has been a significant success for the creators, considering its status as one of the largest projects on the OTT platform. According to available data, the project budget is estimated at approximately 250 crore rupees. Therefore, to break even, the film needs to collect 300–350 crore rupees, and the creators have a chance to achieve this goal if the collection pace continues over the next two weeks.

Comparing the collections with other major projects, it is noted that Pankaj Tripathi has only surpassed the 100 crore rupee mark with the film OMG 2. Ali Fazal and Divyendu Sharma have not yet reached this figure. However, the current collection pace and the impression made by 'Mirzapur: The Movie' suggest that they will soon receive their first film with 100 crore in box office collections.

The film 'Hanuman ANSH' is currently generating significant interest in cinema screenings. The director and screenwriter of the film, Dr. Vishal Chaturvedi, expressed a desire for Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma to also watch this picture, especially after it was appreciated by Virender Sehwag.

The director noted that it would be a great joy for the entire crew if Virat and Anushka could see the film. It was particularly meaningful that Virender Sehwag watched 'Hanuman ANSH' with his child, without being part of the film crew, and shared his reaction on social media. For Chaturvedi, this moment was very emotional, as he has long been a big cricket fan of Sehwag.

Chaturvedi emphasized that Sehwag's approval was not just a celebrity review for him, but a kind of 'full circle life' moment. Now his focus is on Virat Kohli, and he hopes that Virat and Anushka can experience this spiritual story.

The film is also showing impressive box office results. Released on August 7, 2026, without a major marketing campaign or active promotion, 'Hanuman ANSH' achieved significant success through word-of-mouth. After four weeks in India, the film's total revenue reached 85.97 crore rupees. On the first day, the film earned 1 million rupees, and in the first week, it collected 1.08 crore rupees. In the second week, it earned 4 million rupees, but thanks to strong word-of-mouth, the income reached 10.40 crore rupees in the third week.

The film's story plans to go beyond the country. The creators announced that 'Hanuman ANSH' will be shown worldwide on September 11, 2026, allowing the international audience to get acquainted with the spiritual history of the Maharaj.

Furthermore, the director confirmed that the story of 'Hanuman ANSH' will continue, and a sequel will be released. The film is a spiritual drama inspired by the life and teachings of Nima Kauli Baba, whom fans affectionately call the Maharaj. Shobhanav Satya played the role of Nima Kauli Baba, and Vikhan Shedge portrays another stage of the Maharaj's life. The film also features actors such as Chandan Anand, Purmina Tiwari, Anil K. Rastogi, and Gulshan Pandey. This 2 hour 30 minute film, rated U, is considered successful due to people's deep faith in the Maharaj and great interest in his life. It remains to be seen what reaction the Sehwag couple, and subsequently Virat-Anushka, will have after watching 'Hanuman ANSH.'
