The turnaround began on Day 17, when the film jumped to Rs 2.20 crore in a single day, as positive word-of-mouth spread across social media and pulled in growing numbers of viewers. That momentum carried the film through a steady third week, which brought in Rs 10.40 crore.On Day 24, Hanuman Ansh posted its strongest single-day number yet, collecting Rs 12.75 crore — a jump of 37.8 percent over the previous day’s collection. The film played across 5,363 shows in India on the day, taking its total India gross collection to Rs 47.33 crore and its India net total to Rs 40.13 crore.
