Film 'Hanuman Ansh' faced revenue decline after 25 days, affecting films of Kunal and Karina

In contemporary cinema and web series, explicit or intimate scenes have become commonplace; romantic or kissing moments can be found in every second film. Nevertheless, sometimes creators emphasize such scenes so heavily that viewers feel uncomfortable watching them in a family setting.

When excessively explicit scenes are shown on screen, creators and actors often face sharp criticism and trolling from the audience. A prime example is the 2022 film 'Gahrayan,' which featured numerous explicit and intimate scenes between Deepika Padukone and Sindhan Chaturvedi.

After the film's release, the actors were subjected to heavy trolling on social media because many disliked the depiction of extramarital affairs, intimacy, and sexual desire in the movie.

In an interview with 'News18,' directors of 'Lust Stories 3,' Vikramaditya Motwani and Shakun Batra, openly discussed the negative reaction to films and shared their opinion on whether the majority of the Indian audience maintains conservative views.

Director Sachin Batra, commenting on the trolling received by the film for depicting sex and infidelity in 'Gahrayan,' stated that such things are not unprecedented in India. He noted that people can relate to such stories and see themselves in them. However, he added that there is a huge moral burden associated with questions of what is ethical, right, or wrong. In his view, society is not yet ready to change such established perceptions, as concepts of good and evil seem permanently fixed.

On the other hand, filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwani believes the problem lies not with the viewers but with those who consider themselves guardians of public morality. Vikramaditya emphasized that box office results show that no one refuses to watch such material. He called these people 'gatekeepers' who constantly assert that certain content should not or ought not to be watched because it contradicts culture, and they voice many similar remarks.

Overall, he believes that the approach to watching films has changed over the last two decades. The younger generation has become much more open to topics of sex, intimacy, and passion and is less inclined to judge others.

For those unfamiliar, the plot of Motwani's 'Lust Stories 3' is based on the sexual desires of middle-aged married women who decide to exchange their husbands to reintroduce excitement into their dull sexual lives.

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 film 'Hanuman Ansh', based on the life of Nim Korali Baba, has become one of the most successful in Bollywood history. Five weeks have passed since its release, and its box office earnings show no significant decline. Despite the release of the major film 'Mirzapur: The Movie' this week, 'Hanuman Ansh' maintains strong positions in cinema screenings.

The film 'Mirzapur: The Movie', released on September 4th, is actively collecting revenue. In four days, its total net collection exceeded 100 crore. This picture reached this figure very quickly. However, 'Hanuman Ansh', which is in its fifth week of screening, is also posing serious competition to 'Mirzapur'.

Looking at 'Mirzapur: The Movie', according to Sacnilk data, on its fourth day, which was Monday, the film collected a net income of 15.50 crore rupees. The total revenue of the picture reached 109.25 crore rupees. Despite it being a working day, 'Mirzapur' demonstrated its strength at the box office, giving hope for a long run.

But right before it is 'Hanuman Ansh', which continues to impress even on its 32nd day. Despite a limited number of screenings, it has collected a net income of 9.50 crore rupees. The total revenue of the film is now 131.63 crore rupees. It will soon appear in international cinemas, which will greatly influence its lifetime collection.

The success story of 'Hanuman Ansh' is also impressive. In the first 15 days, its earnings did not exceed 1 crore. However, after that, earnings began to grow steadily. On the 31st day, the film made a big leap, receiving huge support thanks to positive reviews from all sides. Now even major Bollywood stars are going to watch this film and highly praising it. 'Hanuman Ansh', created with a budget of only 2 crore, has become an outstanding example in Bollywood history.
