Hanuman Strikes Gold in Hindi Belt

Prashanth Varma's movie "Hanuman" has gained positive reviews and strong word of mouth, leading to impressive collections. The film's success is not limited to its Telugu roots; it has garnered widespread acceptance among Hindi and northern audiences. With a remarkable surge in collections on its second day, "Hanuman" is anticipated to surpass previous daily figures consistently.

In Hindi, the film is poised to achieve a remarkable Rs 10 crore opening weekend, showcasing a fantastic start. The positive response extends to the Telugu audience as well, with packed screenings and a rapid pace of houseful shows. This overwhelming audience reception has translated into unprecedented box office numbers, with "Hanuman" aiming for a 100Cr share in Telugu.

The Hindi version, despite minimal promotions and a lesser-known cast, saw a noteworthy opening day, collecting 2.15 crores nett. On the second day, the film experienced an astonishing 88% growth, collecting 4.05 crores nett and reaching a two-day total of 6.2 crores nett. Experts predict sustained success for "Hanuman" until the release of the film "Fighter."

Projections suggest a final run of over 50 crores nett, with the possibility of reaching 75 crores nett if the movie continues its strong performance during weekends. Directed by Prasanth Varma and featuring Vinay Rai, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Amritha Aiyer in pivotal roles, "Hanuman" is thriving in the absence of competition in Hindi markets and amid mixed reviews for other films.

The film's exceptional box office performance has led to the addition of more screens, and considering the trend on festival days, "Hanuman" is expected to enjoy a solid run for at least three weeks. This unexpected success is a testament to the film's widespread appeal and surpasses the expectations of both the audience and the movie's team.
