The devotional film ‘Hanuman Ansh’, based on Neem Karoli Baba, crossed Rs 156 crore at the box office in its first 32 days, delivering a 78‑fold return on its cost.
The Hindi‑language devotional drama ‘Hanuman Ansh’, which portrays the life of saint Neem Karoli Baba, completed its 32nd day in theatres with a cumulative gross of approximately Rs 156 crore. According to trade sources, the film’s total earnings represent a 78‑times multiple of its production and marketing outlay, marking one of the most profitable releases of the year.
Industry analysts attribute the strong performance to a combination of factors, including the film’s spiritual theme, word‑of‑mouth promotion among pilgrim communities, and a wide release across major multiplexes and single‑screen theatres in both urban and semi‑urban markets.
The success of ‘Hanuman Ansh’ underscores the growing appetite for faith‑based cinema in India, and producers have indicated that the revenue will be reinvested in similar genre projects. The film continues to run in several key centres, with expectations of further earnings in the coming weeks.
