Not the star power, but the power of the story! 'Hanuman Ansh 'beats' Toxic 'on 34th day, writes a new story at the box office

Mumbai. These days, one such film has retained its hold on the Indian box office, whose speed is also surprising. 'Hanuman Anshul ', which is associated with the spiritual legacy of Neem Karauli Baba and Hanuman Bhakti, is still drawing audiences to the theatres in the fifth week of its release. The special thing is that the film's earnings remain strong even at a time when most films almost disappear from the box office after a few weeks of release.

The biggest discussion of the film is now about its 34th day collection. According to the early trend report of Sankanilk, 'Hanuman Ansh' earned Rs. 10.25 crore on the 34th day of its release i.e. on the fifth Wednesday.

This figure is also important because the film has surpassed Dhurandhar's Rs. 4.75 crore in terms of earnings on the fifth Wednesday. That is, at a time when the expectation of earning crores of rupees every day from a film is also considered difficult, 'Hanuman Ansh' is earning in double digits.

In 34 days, the film's net collection in India has reached Rs 153.13 crore, while its gross is said to be Rs 180.73 crore.

Beating 'Toxic' becomes the biggest news

The real story of the success of 'Hanuman Ansh' starts from here. The film has surpassed the collection of Rs 143.63 crore of the Hindi version of Yash starrer 'Toxic'.

That is, the Hindi box office collection of the film whose budget was said to be about Rs 500 crore and with the name of a big star associated with it, was surpassed by a relatively low-budget film.

With this, 'Hanuman Ansh' has become the sixth highest grossing Hindi film of 2026. Not only this, if its collection on the 35th day is as expected, then it can also make its place in the top-5 Hindi films of the year, surpassing the 156.02 crore of 'Awarapan 2'.

Not just a box office number for Bollywood, a big lesson

The story of 'Hanuman Ansh' is not just limited to the collection of Rs 153 crore. The real question is, why are audiences still flocking to watch the film in its fifth week?

This box office trend once again reinforces the debate that audiences don't go to theatres just for big budgets, big stars and expensive visuals. If the story connects with the viewer, the emotional connection is made and the film can make him feel something, then its effect can remain even after several weeks of release.

'Hanuman Ansh 'has perhaps given the biggest lesson to Bollywood. The budget can make the film big, but it is the love of the audience that keeps it alive at the box office for a long time.

And this is the reason that even in the fifth week, the echo of 'Hanuman Ansh' is being heard in the theaters.
