Hanuman Ansh, the spiritual drama based on the life of Neem Karoli Baba, has crossed the ₹150 crore mark in India net collection after an unusually strong theatrical run. The film achieved the milestone on its 34th day, continuing to attract audiences more than a month after its release.
According to Sacnilk figures cited by The Times of India and India Today, the film earned an estimated ₹10.25 crore net on Day 34, taking its cumulative India net collection to ₹153.13 crore. Its India gross collection has reached approximately ₹180.95 crore.
The milestone comes shortly after the film's team met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow.
Hanuman Ansh Team Meets Yogi Adityanath
The film's producer-director Vishal Chaturvedi and members of the cast met Yogi Adityanath at his official residence in Lucknow on September 8.
According to reports, the team discussed the film's subject and its spiritual themes with the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister. The meeting also focused on Neem Karoli Baba and the film's depiction of his spiritual journey and links with the Nath tradition.
The Chief Minister's office also shared photographs from the meeting, describing it as a courtesy interaction with the makers and cast of Hanuman Ansh.
Day 34 Collection Shows Strong Hold
The film's latest box-office performance is notable because it came after more than four weeks in theatres.
Hanuman Ansh reportedly collected ₹10.25 crore net on its 34th day from around 7,810 shows. That was a 4.7% decline from the estimated ₹10.75 crore collected on Day 33. Despite the day-on-day drop, the film added another substantial amount to its cumulative total.
Its current India net figure of ₹153.13 crore puts the film well beyond the ₹150 crore milestone, while its gross domestic collection has moved close to ₹181 crore.
From Slow Opening to Box Office Success
The most striking aspect of Hanuman Ansh's theatrical journey has been its transformation from a slow starter into a major box-office performer.
The film reportedly opened with only around ₹10 lakh on its first day. Its initial performance was modest, but collections began gaining momentum in subsequent weeks as audience interest and word-of-mouth reportedly strengthened.
The film's extended theatrical run has consequently produced a very different outcome from its opening-week numbers.
Film Based on Neem Karoli Baba's Life
Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Hanuman Ansh revolves around the early life and spiritual transformation of Neem Karoli Baba.
Shobhinaw Satyaa plays Neem Karoli Baba, while Chandan K. Anand is also part of the principal cast. The story is set in pre-Independence India and follows Lakshmi Narayan after he leaves home following the death of his mother in search of spiritual answers.
The narrative traces his journey across northern India and his eventual transformation into the spiritual figure known as Neem Karoli Baba.
₹200 Crore Gross Now in Sight
With its India gross collection already at approximately ₹180.95 crore, the film is now within striking distance of another major milestone.
Based on the latest reported figures, Hanuman Ansh needs roughly ₹19 crore more in India gross to reach ₹200 crore.
Whether it reaches that level will depend on how strongly the film holds during its fifth week and beyond. However, its ability to generate more than ₹10 crore on Day 34 has already extended its theatrical run well beyond expectations.
For now, Hanuman Ansh stands out as one of the year's most unusual box-office stories: a film that started with a modest opening but built momentum over several weeks to cross the ₹150 crore India net milestone.
