Tollywood’s first superhero film Hanuman, starring child artist turned hero Teja Sajja in the lead role in the direction of talented new-age director Prashanth Neel, has defied all odds to emerge as a runaway hit at the box office during the Sankranti festival. In just 4 days, the film clocked 100 Crores gross including all languages and surprised the trade circles.
Hanuman took a sensational start on January 11th after the paid premieres in many locations of Telugu States paid off and resulted in rave reviews. Thereafter, the visual extravaganza has been witnessing an unstoppable run in all territories. The collections gained huge momentum towards the weekend and remained rock solid on Monday as well, thanks to the long Sankranti festival holidays in Telugu States.
The mythological storyline coupled with spectacular visuals did the trick for the film in Hindi shores as it amassed close to 25 Crores gross there in four days with a steady run.
In USA, Hanuman has been shattering numerous records despite facing stiff competition from other biggies. After taking a terrific start with $ 900K from the first day including premieres, the film went on a record-breaking spree with a $ 800K haul on two successive days to end the first weekend with $ 2.5 Million gross. Not stopping here, the film punched out another $ 550k on the first Monday to scream past the $ 3 million mark in style.
Coming to Andhra and Nizam, Hanuman is running with packed houses with a fantastic run. After an impressive start, Hanuman dominated every center with fantastic footfalls during the first weekend despite getting a low screen count in major locations. In other overseas locations and neighbouring states, Hanuman is having a strong run.
The production house of Hanuman unveiled a scintillating poster to announce the prestigious milestone of 100 Crores gross in 4 days.
Trade circles predict that the film will topple more existing records in the long run and will emerge as one of the biggest hits of all time in the history of Telugu cinema.
