Mumbai: Box office trends often change within a few days, but Vishal Chaturvedi’s spiritual drama film ‘Hanuman Ansh’ has managed to maintain its strong hold even after 67 days of release. The film continues to surprise trade analysts by earning in crores during its extended theatrical run. Meanwhile, Siddharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s ‘The One’ is witnessing a sharp decline and has now been limited to earnings in lakhs.
After enjoying a strong 10th weekend due to holiday benefits, ‘Hanuman Ansh’ has slowed down slightly during weekdays, which is considered normal for any long-running film. However, despite the drop, the movie once again showed impressive strength by earning over Rs 1 crore on its 67th day, even on a Monday.
Weekday Test: ‘Hanuman Ansh’ Continues to Prove Its Strength

Made on a Rs 3 Crore Budget, Film Delivers Massive Returns
