Earnings despite clash with Toxic

Trending Stories

Yash's Toxic is one of the most talked-about films. Despite arriving with massive fan craze, the movie failed to impress critics and audiences alike. Although it is still performing at the box office despite the criticism, it is no longer the first choice for viewers. Its run has been affected by films like Hanuman Ansh, which no one had even heard of when it was released at the cinemas.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh called the film's success unimaginable, noting that it continues to perform well at the box office despite clashing with big releases like Yash's Toxic and Awarapan 2.

''In fact, #HanumanAnsh is the ONLY #Hindi film that has remained UNIMPACTED by #Toxic... A truly REMARKABLE TURNAROUND.'' Adarsh wrote.

What Hanuman Ansh is about and what netizens are saying?

Directed and written by Vishal Chaturvedi, the film stars Shobhinaw Satyaa in the role of Neem Karoli Baba. Set in 1930 in North India during British rule, the film follows a man whose extraordinary actions leave everyone in shock. However, with his unwavering faith in Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman, he soon proves his true purpose.

Apart from Satyaa, the movie stars Shedge, Purnima Tiwari, Chandan Anand, Anil Ratogi and others.

The word of mouth of the movie is fantastic, with netizens urging and calling it a must-watch.

One user wrote,'' Yesterday I watched Hanuman Ansh movie in theatre. It was a 2.30 hrs long movie, I went alone to watch it, and tears were rolling down my eyes for legit 2 hrs. A deeply spiritual movie which connects you with God on a very deeper level. A definite must-watch movie.''

Another user wrote, ''Watching #HanumanAnsh gave me goosebumps. There were moments when the emotions and divine energy on screen were so powerful that I literally had chills. A must-watch for everyone.''
