Hanuman Ansh 7th Weekend Box Office Surges 175% From Friday To Sunday And Scores Biggest 7th Weekend Beating Dhurandhar By Over 3X
It's rare for a film to still be finding new gears seven weeks into its theatrical run, but Hanuman Ansh keeps rewriting that rulebook. This is a film that opened to barely a whisper β under a crore in its first weekend β then somehow built, week after week, into one of the most talked-about theatrical stories of the year. That same pattern of quietly gathering steam showed up again this weekend: Friday looked like an ordinary hold, and then Saturday and Sunday exploded, pushing the film to its strongest three-day run since its record-breaking fifth week. By the close of Day 45, the film's India net stands at βΉ271.88 Cr, India gross at βΉ321.05 Cr, and the worldwide gross has pushed past βΉ347.05 Cr β all this after 177,121 shows and counting. What's remarkable is how it got here: a slow-burn opening that would've spelled doom for most films instead turned into a seven-week climb that's still finding fresh legs on a Sunday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) From βΉ5 Crore To βΉ13.75 Crore In 48 Hours Day 43 (Friday) opened on a fairly ordinary note, with the film adding βΉ5.00 Cr net β a 20% dip from the previous Thursday. That's usually where a seventh-weekend story would flatten out. Instead, Saturday flipped the script entirely: collections jumped a massive 95% to βΉ9.75 Cr, and Sunday kept the party going with a further 41% rise to βΉ13.75 Cr. Put together, that's a Friday-to-Sunday jump of nearly 175% β a surge almost unheard of for a film sitting in its seventh week of release.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Weekend-by-Weekend: How The Film Built To This Point What makes this 7th weekend even more striking is the shape of the journey behind it. Hanuman Ansh opened to a near-invisible βΉ0.60 Cr in its first weekend and barely moved in its second, at βΉ0.20 Cr. The turnaround began in week three. Against that backdrop, the βΉ28.50 Cr collected this weekend isn't a decline so much as a natural cooling after two back-to-back blockbuster weekends.

Ticket Sales: BookMyShow Still Leads, But The Multiplex Chains Are Catching Up On BookMyShow alone, the film sold roughly 1.37 lakh tickets on Friday, 2.49 lakh on Saturday, and 2.39 lakh on Sunday β a weekend haul of close to 6.26 lakh tickets on that platform, taking its cumulative BookMyShow sales past 67.17 lakh tickets since release. The national chains weren't far behind either: PVR, INOX and Cinepolis together sold close to 4.96 lakh tickets over the weekend for a combined gross of roughly over βΉ15 Cr, led by PVR (βΉ7.60 Cr), followed by INOX (βΉ5.50 Cr) and Cinepolis (βΉ2.67 Cr) β a sign that a good chunk of the demand this weekend came from multiplex-heavy urban centres rather than single screens. 7th Weekend Ticket Sales β BookMyShow vs PVR + INOX + Cinepolis 6.26L 4.96L BookMyShow PVR+INOX+Cinepolis FAQs Q1.
