Film Hanuman Ansh maintains standing despite the success of 'Drishyam 3' and the issues with Vira Pakhadi's film

Ajay Devgn's film 'Drishyam 3' is demonstrating huge box office success, aided by long weekends and positive audience reviews. In less than three days after its release, the film earned 150 crore rupees, reaching record figures by Sunday.

Meanwhile, the film 'Hanuman Ansh', released on August 7th, continues to hold strong positions in theaters, even though more than 50 days have passed since its premiere. Although the number of screenings has decreased due to the release of 'Drishyam 3', the film's box office collections remain stable, and it showed good results even in its eighth week. According to Sakalilk, the film earned 2.10 crore rupees last Saturday.

Currently, there are about 1300 screenings of 'Hanuman Ansh' in the country. Over 58 days, the film has collected 321.73 crore rupees in net income, and globally, its revenue amounts to 419.46 crore rupees. Despite some decline in earnings, the film's ability to stay afloat amid the success of 'Drishyam' is considered a significant achievement.

The situation is complicated by the fact that just before it was released, Vira Pakhadi's film 'Prem Kitanu' and Aparashakti Khurana on October 2nd faced poor box office results. On Saturday, this film only earned 6.5 million rupees, accumulating 1.15 crore rupees in net income over two days. Audiences reacted ambiguously to it, as it is a remake of the South Indian film 'Premalu', and it is being compared to the original. Forecasts suggest that Vira Pakhadi's film will earn around 2 crore rupees in its first weekend.

As for 'Drishyam 3', the director is Abhishek Patak, who also directed the second part. This film is a remake of the 'Drishyam' franchise from Malayalam, with the third episode presented in the original Hindi version.

Film 'Drishyam 3' set for October 2 release, aiming for record box office and major success

The release of the film 'Drishyam 3' (Drishyam: Conclusion) is scheduled for October 2, marking the conclusion of a story that began 11 years ago with the Vijay Salgaonkar family. This film is the final installment in the 'Drishyam' franchise.

The film's trailer generated significant public interest, leading to a large number of pre-bookings. According to Sakencilk, in the first three days after sales began, specifically from September 27, the film collected over 400,000 tickets, generating a gross revenue of 17.23 crore rupees, of which about 10 crore was earned without corporate bookings. This period covers the dates from October 2 to October 4.

On the first day alone, October 2, the film was screened in approximately 7,480 theaters across the country, collecting 8.90 crore rupees from pre-bookings, including 6.73 crore rupees without corporate buyers. About 2.23 lakh tickets were sold on the first day. Industry analysts estimate that Ajay Devgn's picture could start with a box office collection exceeding 40 crore rupees, which would be the highest figure in the history of this franchise.

If the pace of pre-sales continues, 'Drishyam 3' could become the second highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, provided it collects around 40–50 crore rupees on its opening day. Currently, the record for the highest box office revenue in the Hindi film industry belongs to 'Durdanhar 2' with 90 crore rupees, followed by 'Border 2' starring Sunny Deol with 32.10 crore rupees.

The creators themselves announced that 'Drishyam: Conclusion' will be the last film in the Hindi franchise. All actors from previous parts will participate in the film, and Jaydeep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj will also join.

Kunal Khemu's 'Vibe' and Karina's 'Daira' Show Sustained Audience Interest Amidst 'Hanuman Ansh' Success

The film 'Hanuman Ansh' about Nim Karoli Baba continues to set records, demonstrating steadily growing revenue even six weeks after its release. Despite the arrival of new releases, 'Hanuman Ansh' maintains dominance in cinemas, securing more screenings than the new films 'Vibe' and 'Daira'.

According to the Sakalik report, 'Hanuman Ansh' earned a double-digit amount on its 45th day. On Sunday, the film surpassed the mark of 13.75 crore rupees in net collection, bringing the total net earnings to 271.88 crore rupees. The film's global collection approached 347 crore, and it will officially enter the club of films with earnings of 350 crore.

Approximately 7628 screenings of 'Hanuman Ansh' were shown in the country, with an average occupancy rate of 40%. Audiences continue to show high interest in the film about Nim Karoli Baba.

On the other hand, the films 'Daira' and 'Vibe', which started their run slowly, are beginning to gain momentum. Specifically, Kunal Khemu's comedy film 'Vibe' demonstrated good growth on Sunday, collecting 3 crore rupees in net collection. Although there were fewer screenings on Sunday compared to Saturday, audiences still came to watch the film. By the end of the first weekend, the film earned a total of 7.45 crore rupees, successfully competing with blockbusters like 'Hanuman Ansh'.

In parallel, the film 'Daira' starring Karina Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran is also proving its worth. Although it is given fewer screenings compared to the other two films, it collected 1.75 crore rupees in net collection on its third day. By the end of the first week, Karina's film earned 4.50 crore rupees. The combined screenings of 'Vibe' and 'Daira' do not reach half the screenings of 'Hanuman Ansh'. However, if these two new films are given more screenings in the coming days, their revenue could increase significantly.
