The Hindi film Hanuman Ansh has surpassed the ₹100 crore mark at the box office, becoming the smallest-budget Bollywood movie to achieve this milestone and outdoing the lifetime earnings of the 2008 hit Singham.
Hanuman Ansh, a Hindi-language film released earlier this year, has crossed the ₹100 crore threshold at the box office, marking a significant achievement for a low‑budget production. The film’s earnings now place it as the smallest Bollywood movie to reach this milestone, a record that had previously been held by larger‑budget releases.
The success of Hanuman Ansh also eclipses the lifetime gross of the 2008 action hit Singham, which earned ₹83 crore over its theatrical run. By surpassing Singham’s total, Hanuman Ansh demonstrates that a modest budget can still translate into substantial commercial returns.
Industry analysts note that the film’s performance underscores the growing importance of content quality and audience engagement over high production costs. The achievement is expected to encourage producers to invest in smaller projects with strong storytelling potential.
