Hayvan starts slowly as Hanuman Ansh reaches Rs 173.63 crore on day 36, ahead of Mirzapur The Movie's Rs 157.45 crore domestic total Hayvan opened with Rs 3 crore and 11% occupancy on its first day. Mirzapur The Movie has a domestic total of Rs 157.45 crore, while Hanuman Ansh collected Rs 10.50 crore on its sixth Friday and reached Rs 173.63 crore by day 36. In New Delhi, the Friday film market offered three very different pictures. Hayvan, the suspense thriller featuring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan and directed by Priyadarshan, has arrived in theaters but did not create the first day impact that had been expected. Mirzapur The Movie is continuing to build its earnings, while Hanuman Ansh remains strong at the box office even after 36 days. The contrast matters because the films are at different stages of their theatrical runs. Hayvan's first day figures point to a soft start Sacnilk's figures place Hayvan's first day collection in India at Rs 3 crore. The film played in 7,224 shows across the country, with overall occupancy at just 11%. Attendance improved slightly in the afternoon and evening shows, reaching around 12%, but the gain was limited. Even with that many shows, the seating response was slow, so the opening day was difficult for the film. The gap between the number of shows and occupancy is the main reason the start looks soft. The Rs 130 crore budget behind Hayvan Hayvan was made on a total budget of approximately Rs 130 crore. About Rs 115 crore went into production, while Rs 15 crore was set aside for prints and publicity. A large part of the production budget was used to pay the lead cast and crew. The two stated budget heads account for the approximate total, which makes the film's cost structure an important part of its box office story. That allocation also means the opening total cannot be read in isolation. How the opening compares with earlier films Box Office India's figures place Hayvan among the weaker opening films in the careers of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. Akshay Kumar's Bhool Bhulaiyaa, released in 2007, earned Rs 3.88 crore on its first day. Saif Ali Khan's Ta Ra Rum Pum collected Rs 3.66 crore on its opening day. Hayvan's Rs 3 crore start is below both totals. The weekend is now the key test for whether word of mouth can improve the film's momentum. Mirzapur The Movie's 8th day Mirzapur The Movie has been receiving a strong response from audiences. Positive reviews and continued heavy earnings have kept the film firmly in theaters. On the second Friday, which was the 8th day, Sacnilk's latest figures showed a collection of around Rs 9 crore in India. The domestic box office total then reached Rs 157.45 crore. Its second Friday result therefore gives more context than a one-day launch figure. The film has also been released in Telugu, although its strongest presence is in the Hindi belt. That performance has put Mirzapur The Movie into the list of the highest earning Hindi films of 2026. It has overtaken the lifetime collection of Awaraapan 2, which was Rs 150.43 crore. The gap between the two totals shows that Mirzapur The Movie has kept adding to its earnings beyond the opening period. Hanuman Ansh keeps going after 36 days Hanuman Ansh, based on the life of Neem Karoli Baba, is still holding a strong place in theaters after 36 days. Sacnilk's figures place its sixth Friday collection at around Rs 10.50 crore, taking the total domestic collection to Rs 173.63 crore. That late run earning shows the film has maintained its pull over a long period. For fans, the important point is that the story is not ending here. Producer Namrata Singh has said that Hanuman Ansh is planned as a story in three parts and that the plan was fixed in advance. Vishal Chaturvedi directed the film. In an interview, Chaturvedi disclosed that the film cost only Rs 2 crore to make. With a cost of Rs 2 crore and a domestic total of Rs 173.63 crore, Hanuman Ansh has become the most profitable film of 2026. What this means for you For moviegoers, the biggest practical signal is that the three films have different levels of theatrical presence and earnings. • Hayvan's start: The film collected Rs 3 crore on its first day and recorded 11% occupancy. Attendance stayed around 12% in afternoon and evening shows, making the initial demand clear. • Mirzapur's momentum: The film added around Rs 9 crore on its 8th day and reached a total of Rs 157.45 crore. This shows a long theatrical presence beyond the opening period. • Hanuman Ansh's run: After 36 days, the film collected around Rs 10.50 crore on its sixth Friday and reached Rs 173.63 crore. Moviegoers can see that it is still running in theaters. • Future plan: Producer Namrata Singh has said that Hanuman Ansh will have three parts and that the plan was fixed in advance. Fans have a signal that another part is intended, but no date has been given. Why this happened The different box office paths reflect early audience response, the number of shows and the ability of some films to keep earning after their opening. Hayvan's weak first day is clear, but the available information does not establish one definitive cause for it. The figures show stronger staying power for Mirzapur The Movie and Hanuman Ansh, while the reasons behind that staying power are not fully detailed. • Hayvan's soft opening: Despite 7,224 shows, the film collected Rs 3 crore on its first day and recorded 11% overall occupancy. Attendance improved to around 12% in afternoon and evening shows, indicating limited initial demand. • Career comparison: Box Office India's figures show that Bhool Bhulaiyaa earned Rs 3.88 crore on its first day in 2007, while Ta Ra Rum Pum collected Rs 3.66 crore on its opening day. Hayvan's Rs 3 crore start is lower than both, making the weekend and word of mouth the next important test. • Mirzapur's staying power: The film has received a strong audience response and positive reviews. Its around Rs 9 crore collection on the second Friday, the 8th day, and Rs 157.45 crore domestic total show that it kept drawing business. • Hanuman Ansh's long run: The film based on the life of Neem Karoli Baba collected around Rs 10.50 crore on its sixth Friday and reached Rs 173.63 crore domestically after 36 days. The available information does not identify one confirmed reason for this continued strength. • Budget contrast: Hayvan was made on approximately Rs 130 crore, while Hanuman Ansh was made for Rs 2 crore. That difference places the two films on very different profitability equations. Questions & Answers 1. How much did Hayvan collect in India on its first day?
