The box office clash between Hanuman Ansh and Mirzapur: The Movie has intensified, with the Neem Karoli Baba biopic now leading in cumulative India net collections while the crime thriller holds a stronger worldwide gross, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.

On the most recent comparable Wednesday, Hanuman Ansh collected around ₹6 crore net on its 41st day, edging past Mirzapur: The Movie, which earned ₹3.75 crore net on its 13th day. So far, the devotional drama’s total India net collection reached ₹237.13 crore, compared to ₹199.45 crore for the Ali Fazal–Pankaj Tripathi starrer, signaling sustained legs for the older release despite a slower start.

Weekend momentum and overall totals

Over the subsequent weekend, Hanuman Ansh continued to outperform Mirzapur. On Saturday (Day 37), it posted an India net collection of ₹18.50 crore, taking its domestic net total to ₹192.13 crore and India gross to ₹227 crore, as per Sacnilk data cited in reports.

On the same Saturday, Mirzapur: The Movie remained steady but trailed in India net, even as its worldwide gross climbed to ₹245.19 crore by Day 9, aided by a stronger overseas push.

By Day 41, Hanuman Ansh had crossed the ₹280 crore mark in India gross, while Mirzapur, taking its India gross past ₹230 crore and overseas gross to ₹48 crore, Sacnilk figures show.

In worldwide terms, however, Mirzapur earned around ₹285.64 crore by Day 13, setting its sights on the ₹300 crore milestone. Hanuman Ansh has crossed the ₹300 crore mark worldwide, earning a total of ₹300.25 crore globally.

Contrasting curves, same winner 

The two films represent different box office trajectories: Mirzapur exploded early, hitting roughly ₹93.75 crore India net in three days, whereas Hanuman Ansh built gradually, crossing ₹122 crore India net only after 31 days.
