The new releases have arrived. Hanuman Ansh hasn’t blinked. Now 37 days into its theatrical run, the August 7 release has clocked 481.43K tickets booked in the last 24 hours, according to the figures shown on BookMyShow. That’s more than any other film in the current lineup.
The closest challenger? Mandaadi, released on September 10, with 303.66K bookings. Bethlehem Kudumba Unit follows at 150.81K, while Irumudi, now 23 days old, has 45.32K. The age gap makes the numbers all the more striking: one film is in its sixth week; the others are barely getting started.
The newer releases trail further behind. Sardar 2 has 38.92K bookings; Mahendragiri Varahi, 20.43K; Epic, 20.19K. Maremma, also released on September 10, has no visible 24-hour booking figure in the supplied data.
This isn’t supposed to be Hanuman Ansh’s moment anymore. Yet here it is — 37 days later, sitting above the new competition. While fresh titles fight to establish themselves, the older film continues to command attention, turning what should be a late theatrical run into an unlikely box-office headline.
The figures refer to tickets booked in the last 24 hours, not lifetime ticket sales. Still, the takeaway is hard to miss: the new releases may have the freshness, but Hanuman Ansh has the momentum.
