 *Writer-Director Vishal Chaturvedi Steers Hanuman Ansh to ₹100 Crore Glory, Leaves Major Releases Behind* 

Writer-director Vishal Chaturvedi has emerged as the creative force behind one of the most remarkable box-office success stories of the year. His devotional drama Hanuman Ansh, based on the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, has crossed the coveted ₹100 crore mark on its fifth Sunday. From opening with just ₹10 lakh on day one to achieving this historic milestone, the film has scripted an extraordinary journey at the box office.

Released on August 7 across just 25 screens, Hanuman Ansh began its theatrical run quietly, collecting ₹1.08 crore in its first week. After a slowdown in week two with around ₹40 lakh, the film witnessed a dramatic turnaround, collecting ₹10.40 crore in its third week before continuing its impressive momentum. At the heart of this remarkable growth has been Vishal Chaturvedi, who shaped the film both as its writer and director, steering the story from its spiritual roots to the big screen.

What makes the achievement even more significant is that Hanuman Ansh has continued to march ahead despite major competition, including Mirzapur: The Movie, and has also left big releases such as Toxic behind in its remarkable box-office journey. The film's fifth-Friday collection reportedly surpassed the fifth-Friday earnings of several major Hindi releases, highlighting the strength of its growing word-of-mouth and devotional appeal. Vishal Chaturvedi's storytelling and vision have clearly helped the film connect with audiences far beyond the scale of its initial release.
