Taran Adarsh wrote on X, ''#HanuMan emerges FIRST HIT OF 2024… Packs an impressive total in its *opening weekend*… While mass pockets continue to dominate, the national chains have also joined the party… Fri 2.15 cr, Sat 4.05 cr, Sun 6.06 cr. Total: ₹ 12.26 cr. #India biz. Note: #Hindi version. Going forward, the strong hold in mass sectors is a big plus, since these pockets will be driving its biz on weekdays… Also, as highlighted yesterday, the lack of major releases - till #Fighter [25 Jan] - should help #HanuMan cement its status.''
The movie has been earning welldespite the tough competition from big films at the box office, such as Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif's Merry Christmas, Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram, and Dhanush's Captain Miller.
