The film 'Hanuman ANSH', based on the life of Nima Karoli Baba, has gained recognition in the Indian film industry, demonstrating that a budget of 100 crore is not required for box office success. It proved that a strong story can become a blockbuster even with a budget of only 2 crore.
'Hanuman ANSH' has been in theaters for 44 days and is setting new records. It has surpassed major Indian films released this year, such as 'Dhurandar' and 'Border 2'. While 'Dhurandar' is slowing down in its sixth week, 'Hanuman ANSH' continues to gain momentum, creating difficulties for all new releases. Last week, the film 'Haiwan' was released, which is heading towards failure, and this week audiences are facing 'Hanuman ANSH' alongside the films 'Daira' and 'Vibe.'
The films 'Daira' starring Krina Kapoor and the comedy 'Vibe' starring Kunal Khemu were released in theaters on September 18. These movies surpass 'Hanuman ANSH' in terms of budget and cast, yet the audience continues to favor the film about Nima Karoli Baba.
According to the Sakencilk report, on the 44th day, Saturday, 'Hanuman ANSH' collected 9.75 crore rupees, setting a unique record: no Hollywood film has previously earned this much money after 40 days of screening. Previously, only 'Dhurandar' and 'Patan' reached earnings of around 2 crore. The total net revenue for 'Hanuman ANSH' reached 258.13 crore rupees.
Regarding 'Daira' and 'Vibe', these films have received positive reviews from audiences. The film 'Daira' is shown in approximately 2000 theaters across the country, having collected a net income of 1.6 crore rupees. After a slow start on Friday, Krina's film showed significant growth. On the other hand, 'Vibe' also showed a substantial jump on Saturday. Although the number of screenings decreased compared to the first day, the film earned a net of 2.65 crore rupees. Kunal's film's total box office collection currently stands at 4.35 crore rupees.
Thus, audiences view both films positively, giving them opportunities to be shown. However, they cannot shine because they face a powerful film like 'Hanuman ANSH', which remains the sole choice for the public even after such a long period.
