Mirzapur – The Movie earned 41 lakh, Hanuman Ansh added 1.61 crore and The Vvaan pulled in 4.5 crore, shaping the weekend outlook.
Monday’s numbers in focus
Mirzapur – The Movie brought in just 41 lakh on Monday, pushing its Indian net to roughly 211.94 crore. The dip was steep – a drop of more than sixty‑three percent from the previous day’s 1.13 crore. Hanuman Ansh, now in its eighth week, collected 1.61 crore, nudging its net tally to 297.52 crore, a whisker away from the coveted 300‑crore club. Meanwhile, The Vvaan’s Monday haul fell to 4.5 crore, leaving its four‑day total at 36.27 crore.
How the films got here
Mirzapur – The Movie opened with a blockbuster first week, racking up 143.75 crore, then added 48.75 crore in week two and 15.88 crore in week three. Its fourth weekend contributed 3.12 crore, but the weekday slide suggests the film is losing steam as newer releases line up.
Hanuman Ansh has defied the usual decay curve. After a 14.57 crore eighth‑weekend, the film still commands a sizable audience, despite a 75‑plus percent fall from Sunday’s 6.52 crore. The film’s cumulative gross now sits at 354.19 crore domestically and 387.73 crore worldwide, with the next milestone being the 300‑crore net mark.
The Vvaan’s opening weekend was respectable – 7.25 crore on Friday, 10.5 crore on Saturday and a 14 crore Sunday, totaling 31.75 crore. Occupancy rose each day, peaking at 36.3 percent on Sunday, but Monday’s 14.46 percent occupancy signals a sharp correction. The film must find a steadier weekday rhythm to justify its screen count.
What the drops mean
A 63‑plus percent plunge for Mirzapur signals that the audience’s appetite is shifting. The film’s next challenge is to hold onto its remaining screens while fresh titles hit the multiplexes. If it can sustain even a modest weekday average, it may edge closer to the 220‑crore net target before its run ends.
Hanuman Ansh’s proximity to the 300‑crore net threshold has turned it into a talking point among trade circles. Crossing that line would place it among the elite pantheon of Indian blockbusters that have breached the three‑hundred mark. The film’s ability to keep pulling crowds into its ninth week will be the key determinant.
The Vvaan’s future hinges on word‑of‑mouth and possible regional push. With a modest net so far, any bounce in the coming days could stabilize its trajectory, but a continued slide would likely see it exit the circuit soon.
Looking ahead
The coming weekend will be a litmus test. Mirzapur – The Movie faces fresh competition from upcoming releases slated for early October, while Hanuman Ansh hopes to seal the 300‑crore milestone before the month’s end. The Vvaan, meanwhile, needs a solid Tuesday‑Thursday run to avoid a steep decline.
Industry watchers will be watching the box‑office boards closely. Will Hanuman Ansh finally break the three‑hundred barrier? Can Mirzapur muster a last‑minute surge? And will The Vvaan find enough footing to stay afloat? The answers will emerge in the next set of figures.
