Teja Sajja’s cinematic triumph, “HanuMan,” has embarked on an extraordinary journey at the global Box Office, steadfastly navigating through the challenges presented by new releases. Directed with finesse by Prasanth Varma, this cinematic spectacle hit theaters on January 12, 2024, and since then, it has carved an indelible mark on the industry. Starring Teja Sajja in the lead role, the HanuMan box office collection has showcased remarkable resilience, maintaining its robust pace even on the 3rd Monday, with its cumulative worldwide earnings soaring to an impressive 260.61 crores.
Entering its third week, “HanuMan” commenced the frame with a stellar performance, amassing 11.34 crores on the 3rd Friday (Day 15) and following it up with 9.27 crores on the 3rd Saturday (Day 16). The film experienced a surge in collections on the 3rd Sunday (Day 17) with an impressive 12.89 crores. Despite the typical Monday decline, “HanuMan” managed to pull in 3.06 crores on the 3rd Monday (Day 18), adding another layer to its already substantial box office success. The tantalizing question of whether the film will breach the elite 300 crore club looms large, teasing eager fans as time unfolds its secrets.
Beyond its domestic triumphs, “HanuMan” etched its name in the international market by surpassing the coveted $5 million mark in the USA. This accomplishment positions it as the fifth Telugu film to achieve this feat, with the additional distinction of being the first to do so at regular ticket prices. The film’s overseas business stands robust at 54 crores gross, a testament to its global appeal and widespread acclaim.
Zooming into the domestic Box Office landscape, “HanuMan” posted a net collection of approximately 1.75 crores on its eighteenth day across all languages. This remarkable figure contributes to the film’s total net collections in India, which now stand at an impressive 175.10 crores, propelling the overall gross figure to an enviable 206.61 crores. The film’s financial prowess is further highlighted by its exceptional performance in the Hindi-dubbed version, where it outshone the collections of the acclaimed “KGF” and secured the 9th position on the list of the highest-grossing Hindi-dubbed South Indian films. Standing alongside cinematic giants like “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion,” “KGF 2,” and “RRR,” “HanuMan” has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with.
