Box Office battle: 'Mirzapur: The Movie' eyes ₹250 cr globally as Hanuman Ansh charges ahead

The big-screen adaptation of Prime Video’s hit series, Mirzapur: The Movie, has crossed the ₹240 crore mark worldwide, driven by strong holds in its second week and robust overseas numbers.

Day-wise data from Sacnilk places the movie after day 9 (2nd Saturday of the movie) at around ₹245.19 crore in worldwide gross (₹203.19 crore India gross, ₹42 crore overseas) and ₹170.45 crore in India net across more than 90,000 shows, marking it as one of the top-performing Hindi films of 2026.

Strong opening and steady hold

Released on September 4, 2026, Mirzapur: The Movie delivered one of the year’s biggest Hindi openings, with trade tracker Sacnilk reporting Day 1 earnings of ₹24.75 crore, followed by ₹32 crore on Saturday and a peak of ₹36 crore on Sunday, taking its three-day India net to ₹93.75 crore and worldwide gross to ₹132.35 crore.

Unlike many big releases that see sharp weekday drops, the Pankaj Tripathi-Ali Fazal headlined gangster drama held relatively steady through its first workweek, collecting ₹16.24 crore on Monday and ₹15.85 crore on Tuesday (Days 4 and 5) net in India, pushing the domestic net past ₹125 crore and worldwide gross close to ₹177 crore by Day 5, as per Sacnilk data.

Mirzapur vs Hanuman Ansh

While Mirzapur: The Movie used its OTT fanbase to clock a blockbuster opening — ₹132.35 crore worldwide in three days — Hanuman Ansh has taken a slow-burn route to a similar scale. Starting modestly, the devotional drama exploded in weeks three and four, crossing ₹100 crore net in India by Day 31 and still holding strong into its sixth week.

As of September 12-13, trade figures place Hanuman Ansh at roughly ₹192-205 crore India net and about ₹227-236.5 crore worldwide, with Day 36-37 delivering double-digit crore days. Mirzapur crossed ₹200 crore worldwide within its first week but now faces the usual second-week dip, whereas Hanuman Ansh continues to defy normal drop-offs through word-of-mouth and repeat viewings.

Trend outlook: who wins the race?

Hanuman Ansh is favoured to win the longer-term trend: already past ₹200 crore India net, it is being tipped by trade voices for a possible ₹300-400 crore lifetime if its sixth-week hold continues.

Mirzapur: The Movie has locked in a blockbuster opening and a solid first week, with early second-week holds pointing to a ₹250 crore+ net lifetime — strong, but likely below Hanuman Ansh’s ceiling. In short: Mirzapur wins the sprint; Hanuman Ansh looks set to win the marathon.
