Hanuman Ansh has continued to maintain a strong presence at the Indian box office even after completing 40 days in theatres. The devotional biographical film recorded an India net collection of Rs 8.25 crore on its 40th day, according to Sacnilk figures cited by India Today and The Times of India. The Day 40 collection remained unchanged from the previous day, when the film also earned Rs 8.25 crore.
Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Hanuman Ansh is a biographical devotional drama based on the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba. The film initially had a modest theatrical opening but gained momentum during its extended run. Reports have attributed the later rise in collections to continued audience interest and word of mouth.
According to the latest reported figures, Hanuman Ansh earned Rs 8.25 crore net in India on Day 40. The collection was recorded across 9,175 shows, with the film registering an overall occupancy of about 28.65 percent on Tuesday. The occupancy increased during the later shows, with evening and night screenings recording stronger audience turnout.
The latest Day 40 collection has taken the film's India net total to Rs 231.13 crore. Its India gross collection has reached Rs 272.90 crore. The film also added approximately Rs 2 crore from overseas markets on Day 40, taking its overseas gross to Rs 18.50 crore. Its reported worldwide gross collection has consequently reached Rs 291.40 crore.
One of the most notable aspects of the latest box office report is the film's Day 40 comparison with several major Hindi releases. According to the reported Sacnilk figures, Hanuman Ansh collected Rs 8.25 crore net on its 40th day. Dhurandhar recorded Rs 2.60 crore, Pathaan collected Rs 2.55 crore, Chhaava earned Rs 1.40 crore and URI The Surgical Strike recorded Rs 1.38 crore at the same stage of their respective theatrical runs.
This comparison relates specifically to the films' Day 40 India net collections. It does not compare their opening-day collections, lifetime earnings or overall commercial performance. The figures simply show how much each film reportedly collected on the 40th day of its theatrical run.
The performance of Hanuman Ansh is particularly notable because the film had a slow beginning. According to NDTV's report citing Sacnilk data, the movie collected approximately Rs 1.08 crore during its first week and Rs 40 lakh during its second week. Its performance changed significantly from the third week onward, when it collected around Rs 10.40 crore.
The film recorded a much stronger fourth week, collecting approximately Rs 61 crore, followed by Rs 90.25 crore in its fifth week. Its sixth-week performance has also remained substantial. It earned Rs 10.50 crore on Day 36, Rs 18.50 crore on Day 37 and Rs 22.50 crore on Day 38. It then added another Rs 8.25 crore each on Days 39 and 40.
The strong performance during the later weeks has helped Hanuman Ansh move closer to the Rs 300 crore worldwide milestone. With a reported worldwide gross of Rs 291.40 crore after Day 40, the film remains around Rs 8.60 crore short of that mark based on the reported figures. The milestone would depend on its subsequent theatrical collections.
The film's extended box office run has also drawn attention because it is based on the life of Neem Karoli Baba, a spiritual figure with followers in India and abroad. The subject gives the movie a distinct audience base compared with conventional mainstream Hindi releases.
Reports have described the film as a sleeper success because its theatrical performance increased considerably after a slow start. However, box office numbers can vary between trade trackers and media reports, particularly when early estimates are revised after final figures are received. The reported Day 40 figure should therefore be understood as an industry-tracker-based figure rather than an independently audited financial statement.
The film's performance also demonstrates how theatrical collections can change considerably during a movie's run. Hanuman Ansh did not record its strongest numbers during its opening period. Instead, its collections increased in later weeks, allowing it to maintain substantial daily earnings well into its sixth week.
The reported Day 40 figures also provide a useful point of comparison with established Hindi releases. While Dhurandhar, Pathaan, Chhaava and URI The Surgical Strike had different release periods, budgets, casts, audiences and theatrical circumstances, their Day 40 collections can be compared as a specific box office metric. Hanuman Ansh recorded the highest figure among the five films in this particular comparison.
As Hanuman Ansh continues its theatrical journey, attention is now focused on whether the film can cross the Rs 300 crore worldwide mark. The latest reported worldwide total stands at Rs 291.40 crore, while its India net collection has reached Rs 231.13 crore. Its continued performance will depend on audience turnout, screening numbers and competition from other releases.
For now, the Day 40 figures show that Hanuman Ansh has maintained considerable theatrical activity well beyond the period when many films experience a significant decline in daily collections. Its Rs 8.25 crore Day 40 India net collection has become one of the most discussed aspects of its extended box office run.
