Box Office Today September 29 2026 has turned into an interesting battle at the ticket counters. Nani’s The Paradise is now extremely close to the ₹100 crore mark in India, while Hanuman Ansh has surprised the industry by crossing ₹400 crore worldwide during its long theatrical run.
Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest faced its first crucial Monday test after a strong opening weekend. Mirzapur: The Movie also continues to hold its ground despite entering its fourth week in theaters.
THE 60-SECOND BRIEF
The Paradise: Earned around ₹4.62 crore India net on Day 5, taking its total to approximately ₹96.72 crore India net.
Hanuman Ansh: Crossed ₹400 crore worldwide after 52 days in theaters.
Mirzapur: The Movie: Collected around ₹60 lakh on Day 25, taking its India net total to approximately ₹227.65 crore and worldwide gross to around ₹331.42 crore.
The Vvaan: Saw a drop after its opening weekend. Different trade trackers currently place its cumulative India net collection at roughly ₹34–35 crore.
The Paradise Is Now Just Short of ₹100 Crore
Nani’s The Paradise has become one of the most closely watched films at the box office.
The film earned approximately ₹4.62 crore India net on its fifth day, taking its total domestic net collection to around ₹96.72 crore.
That leaves the movie just about ₹3.28 crore short of the ₹100 crore India net milestone.
The film was released on September 24. After a strong opening phase, collections naturally slowed during the weekdays, but its overall total has already brought it within touching distance of the ₹100 crore mark.
The film had also reportedly earned around ₹139 crore worldwide during its first four days, making its next major worldwide milestone another number to watch closely.
How Did The Vvaan Perform in Its First Monday Test?
Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia-starrer The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest attracted strong attention during its opening weekend.
The film was released on September 25. As expected, collections dropped on Monday after the weekend surge.
However, box-office trackers are reporting slightly different numbers.
Some estimates place the film’s India net total after Monday at around ₹34.5 crore, while other trade reports show slightly different figures.
One industry estimate suggests that the film earned around ₹32.10 crore India net during its first three days, followed by approximately ₹2.38 crore on Monday, taking the cumulative total to nearly ₹34.48 crore.
Because trade estimates vary, these numbers should not be treated as final official figures.
The real test now comes on Tuesday and Wednesday. If the movie maintains steady weekday collections, its first-week performance could give it a stronger chance heading into the second weekend.
Hanuman Ansh Delivers a Stunning Milestone After 52 Days
One of the most unusual success stories currently playing out at the box office is Hanuman Ansh.
The film has reportedly crossed ₹400 crore worldwide after completing 52 days in theaters.
Maintaining audience interest for such a long theatrical run is significant, especially when several major new releases have entered cinemas during the same period.
Available trade estimates also suggest that the movie’s India net collection has already crossed the ₹300 crore mark.
That means Hanuman Ansh has continued generating ticket sales even weeks after its release.
Its longevity has now become one of the biggest talking points in the current box-office race.
Mirzapur: The Movie Holds Strong in Its Fourth Week
Pankaj Tripathi-starrer Mirzapur: The Movie is also benefiting from a long theatrical run.
The film reportedly earned around ₹60 lakh India net on Day 25, taking its domestic net total to approximately ₹227.65 crore.
Its worldwide gross collection currently stands at around ₹331.42 crore, according to available trade estimates.
Daily earnings naturally fall as a film enters its fourth week.
However, crossing ₹200 crore India net and continuing to attract audiences after more than three weeks gives the movie a notable position among the current theatrical releases.
Which Movie Is Leading the Box Office Race?
Direct comparisons can be misleading because these movies were released on different dates and are at different stages of their theatrical runs.
The Paradise is currently the closest to crossing the ₹100 crore India net milestone.
Hanuman Ansh stands out for its extraordinary theatrical longevity and ₹400 crore-plus worldwide collection.
Mirzapur: The Movie has already crossed ₹227 crore India net and remains in theaters during its fourth week.
Meanwhile, The Vvaan is still in its opening week, making its next few weekdays critical.
What to Watch on September 29
Tuesday collections will provide an important indication of audience retention.
If The Paradise maintains its current momentum, it could cross the ₹100 crore India net milestone very soon.
For The Vvaan, Tuesday’s earnings will reveal how much of its weekend audience is carrying over into the weekdays.
At the same time, the screen count and audience retention of Hanuman Ansh and Mirzapur: The Movie will remain worth watching as both films continue their extended theatrical runs.
Full September 29 collections will only become clear after evening and late-night shows conclude.
For that reason, today’s final numbers should be updated once complete trade estimates become available.
INVC NEWS Bottom Line
The biggest box-office story on the morning of September 29 is not about just one film. The Paradise is closing in on ₹100 crore in India, Hanuman Ansh has crossed ₹400 crore worldwide after a remarkable 52-day run, and The Vvaan is now entering the crucial weekday phase after its opening weekend.
The next round of collections will show which film carries the strongest momentum into the coming weekend.
