As of October 22, 2026, the devotional drama has earned ₹341 crore net in India, marking an extraordinary milestone for a debut directorial venture.

From a modest opening to a phenomenal box-office run, Hanuman Ansh has defied expectations. At the heart of this remarkable turnaround is Chaturvedi’s vision, conviction and direction, which have helped the film find a strong connect with audiences.

Vishal Chaturvedi’s film has surpassed the box-office numbers of several successful directorial debuts. Aditya Dhar’s Uri: The Surgical Strike collected approximately ₹245 crore nett in India, while Amar Kaushik’s Stree earned around ₹130 crore in India. Vishal’s film stands ahead of all the top reported domestic figures, setting a significant benchmark for his directorial debut.

The spiritual drama, inspired from the life of Baba Neeb Karori, has completed 75 days in cinemas and still running successfully across the globe. Dr Vishal Chaturvedi’s journey is a testament to the power of hard work and storytelling, proving that a debutant filmmaker with a compelling vision can create a box-office phenomenon.

With Hanuman Ansh crossing the ₹300 crore India net milestone, Vishal Chaturvedi has made a historic entry into Indian cinema, turning his directorial debut into one of the most remarkable box-office success stories of the year.
