Hanuman Ansh has outperformed the Dhurandhar films in terms of profit to investment, despite earning much less at the box office. Made on a reported budget of just ₹2 crore, Hanuman Ansh has collected ₹216.46 crore in India net and ₹255.71 crore in India gross. The film recorded an estimated profit of ₹214.46 crore.

In comparison, Dhurandhar 1 and Dhurandhar 2 were reportedly made on a combined budget of ₹255 crore. Dhurandhar 2 alone earned ₹1,149.30 crore in India net, while Dhurandhar 1 also earned ₹1,149.30 crore, taking the two films' combined India net collections to ₹2,298.60 crore. That gives the two films a combined estimated profit of ₹2,043.60 crore.

Hence, Dhurandhar 1 and 2 together made ₹1,829.14 crore more profit than Hanuman Ansh. However, Hanuman Ansh delivered a far higher return on its investment.

While Hanuman Ansh released domestically, Dhurandhar duology enjoyed worldwide release except the Gulf region.

Producer reacts

Talking about the film, recently the 21-year-old producer of Hanuman Ansh, Anupriya Nagar opened up about the financial struggles faced by the makers initially.

“Three women have produced this film, and I am the youngest. I joined during post-production. The team told me that the film had been made, but they did not have the funds for post-production. I put all my savings into this film because I felt a strong emotional connection to it. It is a very emotional project for me. Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba) inspired so many foreigners, such as Larry Brilliant and Steve Jobs, but very few people in India know about Maharaj Ji. I want people to know his life story and visit his ashram,” she told ANI.

“I contributed one-third of the entire budget. Yes, we have recovered the money we invested, and the film is also doing well," she added.

Hanuman Ansh is written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi.
