However, despite this achievement ‘Hanuman Ansh’ had a very humble beginning at the box office. Produced on a budget of less than Rs 2 crore and starring relatively unknown faces, the Anand Pandit directorial opened on August 7, 2026 with just Rs 10 lakh on its opening day from 25 screens.
It went on to collect Rs 1.08 crore net during its first week of release in India. It dipped in its sophomore week as well, earning Rs 40 lakh . It picked up in its third week as it registered collections of Rs 10.40 crore . However, the best week for the film so far was its fourth weekend when it grossed Rs 61 crore net .
On Day 30 (fifth Saturday), ‘Hanuman Ansh’ saw a positive increase of 62.5% from its previous day’s business as it earned Rs 16.25 crore net from 6,055 shows in India. By the end of Day 30, the film had amassed an India net collection of Rs 99.13 crore. Its total India gross stood at Rs 117.27 crore .
Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, ‘Hanuman Ansh’ revolves around Lakshman Das who transforms into spiritual guru Neem Karoli Baba at the age of just 13 years. He is played by Shobhinaw Satyaa.
After crossing Rs 100 crore at the domestic box office, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has urged the Maharashtra government to exempt ‘Hanuman Ansh’ from entertainment tax due to its social message. They wrote a letter to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today.
The move comes after reports emerged that the Uttarakhand government has also decided to exempt the film from tax. In their letter, AICWA asked for reimbursement of applicable SGST component on theatrical exhibition in Maharashtra which will further allow the beneficiaries to pass on the benefit of tax waiver to the audience by reducing the ticket prices.
The letter further read, “Hanuman Ansh is a meaningful spiritual film which espouses values of devotion, faith, compassion, humanity and selfless service towards mankind. The film projects a positive and inspirational message for society and is a family-friendly film suiting all age groups.”
On Day 31 (its fifth Sunday), ‘Hanuman Ansh’ witnessed yet another stable weekend across 3,336 screens as it grossed Rs 6.18 crore net in India. Updating the numbers brings its total India net collection to Rs 105.56 crore and total India gross collection to Rs 124.70 crore.
