Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan recently participated in the success celebrations for Hanuman Ansh, visiting the ISKCON temple located in Juhu, Mumbai. The gathering marked a major milestone as the film successfully completed 100 days running in cinemas. Moving away from typical glamorous industry parties held at luxury hotels or high-end restaurants, the makers chose a spiritual venue, offering a sattvic and completely vegetarian meal to all guests.
Clips from the celebration have surfaced across social media platforms, showing the actor arriving at the temple and interacting cordially with the film crew. Footage captured him participating in traditional rituals, including prayers and devotional singing. In another video circulating online, someone is heard requesting the actor to encourage other figures in the film industry to host similar humble gatherings. The unique choice of venue quickly became a major talking point among fans and media outlets alike.
An Unpredictable Box Office Journey
The commercial performance of Hanuman Ansh has been exceptionally surprising given its sluggish opening in theaters. During its first week in domestic cinemas, the movie collected a modest net of only 1.08 crore rupees. The collection dipped even further in the second week, bringing in roughly 40 lakh rupees. Given the sharp decline early on, industry observers did not expect the feature to sustain a long theatrical run.
However, the trajectory shifted dramatically starting from the third week, as ticket sales experienced a massive surge. This sudden and unexpected turnaround drove the film's total domestic net collection to an impressive 342.86 crore rupees, while its worldwide gross reached 453.33 crore rupees. This phenomenal recovery cemented its status as one of the biggest box office successes of the year.
Following its remarkable theatrical triumph, the movie is now preparing for its digital debut. The makers have officially scheduled Hanuman Ansh to premiere on SonyLIV starting November 27, allowing audiences to stream the blockbuster from the comfort of their homes.
