Hanuman Ansh made ₹19.5 crore on Saturday, its 37th day in cinemas, a jump of nearly 86 percent over the Friday before it. That's the second-highest single-day number the film has posted in its entire run, behind only day 31's ₹22.75 crore, and it's arriving deep into the sixth week of release, a point where most Hindi films have already vanished from single screens.

The devotional drama has now crossed ₹193 crore net at the domestic box office. Trade estimates tracked on Koimoi's running collection page put it on course to breach ₹200 crore by Sunday, day 38.

What's unusual here isn't the total, it's the shape of the curve. A film is supposed to decay after its opening fortnight, not speed up in its sixth week. Hanuman Ansh has managed exactly that twice now, first with a Friday that outdid every earlier Friday of its run, then with Saturday's spike.

The number has pushed the film past Dhamaal 4's lifetime collection of ₹177.92 crore, making Hanuman Ansh the fourth-highest grossing Hindi release of 2026 in India. By Sunday's close it should also clear Bhooth Bangla's ₹199.23 crore, which would move it to third for the year.

The ₹300 crore question

Trade watchers are now talking ₹300 crore, a figure that would have sounded far-fetched for a mythological drama six weeks in, when films like this typically front-load their business in the first ten days and fade fast after. The second Saturday jump suggests word of mouth is still pulling in people who skipped it the first time, and a long festive calendar isn't hurting either, with both single screens and multiplexes staying busy through September.

None of this is locked-in collection. Koimoi's own numbers come with the standard caveat that trade figures are estimates rather than audited totals. But six weekends of this pattern is enough for distributors to start treating ₹300 crore as a target and not a stretch.

The real test is the next few days. Day 38 numbers need to hold near this new high, not slide back toward the mid-teens the film was posting before Saturday's jump. If they hold, the ₹300 crore conversation stops being trade gossip and starts looking like arithmetic.
