Hanuman Ansh is the first devotional biographical drama to execute a theatrical comeback and become a huge sleeper hit purely due to word of mouth on social media. The movie had earned a paltry ₹1.28 crore in the first week and then dipped to ₹0.48cr in the second week, and then had an unprecedented comeback. It saw collections more than tripling to cross ₹12.24 crore by its third week and then grossed a whopping ₹72.00 crore in its fourth week – one of the highest fourth-week gross collections in Bollywood history.
The film has collected a remarkable India Net of ₹82.88 crore and India Gross of ₹97.77 crore as of Day 29 (September 4, 2026). Despite strong competition from the big-budget films, it still has an estimated ₹11.77 crore gross to its domestic collection in its fifth week in theatres.

Final Thoughts
Hanuman Ansh is one of the biggest box office surprise comebacks of 2026. It has been a rather odd theatrical run for a movie that began its journey from an opening day figure of just ₹0.10 crore to a reported India collection of nearly ₹90 crore. The success of the film is proof that audience word of mouth can get you a lot, particularly when the film appeals to a certain target.
