The Hindi film Hanuman Ansh has become one of the most successful films of the year, collecting Rs 342.86 crore net in India and Rs 453.33 crore worldwide, according to reports. It is still running in a few cinemas. To mark the film's success and its 100 days in theatres, the makers held a success party at Iskcon Juhu in Mumbai, which actor Kartik Aaryan attended.
Unlike the usual film success parties held at five-star hotels or lavish restaurants, this celebration took place at the Iskcon temple complex. There was no alcohol or non-vegetarian food, and guests were reportedly served pure vegetarian, satvik food. Videos from the event show Kartik Aaryan entering the venue, meeting the film's team, and apparently taking part in a bhajan or aarti.S1S2
The film had a low opening at the box office, earning Rs 1.08 crore net in India in its first week and Rs 40 lakh in its second, when it was expected to leave theatres soon. From the third week, however, its collections jumped sharply, and it went on to earn over Rs 340 crore net in India, becoming a blockbuster.S2
Hanuman Ansh is set to premiere on Sony LIV on November 27, 2026. Reports say the makers received Rs 60 crore from Sony for the OTT and television rights, although this has not been confirmed.S2
