Theatrical Occupancy
The decline in collections was also reflected in the film's theatrical occupancy. Hanuman Ansh recorded an overall occupancy of 17.19 per cent on Wednesday, compared with 28.65 per cent on Tuesday.
The film opened Wednesday with 12.85 per cent occupancy in morning shows, down from Tuesday's 14.85 per cent. Afternoon occupancy stood at 15.92 per cent, compared with 27.31 per cent a day earlier. Evening shows recorded 19 per cent occupancy, while night shows registered the day's highest figure at 21 per cent.
Despite the midweek slowdown, Hanuman Ansh has already delivered a major box office turnaround. Its Rs 300.25-crore worldwide gross after 41 days underlines the film's sustained theatrical run, with its domestic nett collection now inching towards the Rs 250-crore mark.
Hanuman Ansh is a spiritual drama based on the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, also known as Maharaj-Ji. The film traces his spiritual journey and devotion to Lord Hanuman, bringing to screen key episodes from the life of the revered spiritual figure.
Shobhinaw Satyaa plays Neem Karoli Baba, with Purnima Tiwari portraying his wife, Rambeti Sharma. The cast also includes Chandan Anand, Vihaan Shedge, and Anil Rastogi. Written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, the film is based on his book Divine Detour: That Changed My Life.
