Despite being made on a shoestring budget of ₹2 crore, Hanuman Ansh has emerged as one of the biggest box office success stories in Indian cinema history.
The film crossed the ₹300 crore mark at the domestic box office, a staggering feat considering its initial slow start.
It opened with just ₹10 lakh and earned barely ₹1.5 crore during its first two weeks but later saw a surge in ticket sales due to positive word-of-mouth.
Record-breaking run
'Hanuman Ansh' surpassed these pan-India films
Hanuman Ansh has collected ₹342.44 crore net and ₹452.86 crore worldwide, according to Sacnilk.
The film also spent over 80 days in theaters, a monumental feat.
It reportedly surpassed the lifetime box office collections of several pan-India films, including Vijay's Jana Nayagan (₹324 crore), Yash's Toxic (₹341 crore), and Ram Charan's Peddi (₹342 crore).
