MUMBAI, India | September 24, 2026 —
Box Office Collection Today September 24, 2026 has delivered another surprise from a film that simply refuses to disappear.
Hanuman Ansh, now deep into its seventh week, remained the strongest performer among the major films tracked on Wednesday, September 23. The film collected an estimated ₹4 crore India net on Day 48, taking its domestic net total to approximately ₹284.93 crore.
That means a movie approaching 50 days in cinemas still earned more on Wednesday than several significantly newer releases.
Meanwhile, Mirzapur: The Movie continued its successful run but showed the expected third-week slowdown. Mandaadi remained solid in Tamil and Telugu markets, while Resident Evil held better than several Hindi releases.
Here is the complete box-office picture.
Hanuman Ansh Box Office: ₹4 Crore on Day 48
The extraordinary run of Hanuman Ansh continues.
According to trade estimates, the film earned approximately ₹4 crore India net on Wednesday, its 48th day in theatres.
Its estimated India net collection now stands at ₹284.93 crore, while India gross has reached around ₹336.45 crore.
The worldwide gross has climbed to approximately ₹372.20 crore.
Even more striking is the comparison with Tuesday.
Hanuman Ansh had earned about ₹4.90 crore on Day 47 before slipping by roughly 18% on Wednesday. Despite that decline, ₹4 crore on the 48th day remains an unusually strong theatrical performance.
The film continues to receive thousands of shows across India despite entering its seventh week.
For a film that opened at only around ₹10 lakh India net on its first Friday, the transformation has been remarkable.
Hanuman Ansh Has Become the Box-Office Story Nobody Expected
The film’s journey looks even more unusual when its early numbers are compared with its later performance.
Hanuman Ansh reportedly collected barely ₹1.08 crore during its entire first week.
Then momentum changed dramatically.
By its fourth week, the film began posting multi-crore daily collections. Its fifth and sixth weeks subsequently produced business normally associated with much newer films.
Now, after 48 days, it is approaching the ₹285 crore India net milestone.
That makes Hanuman Ansh the standout theatrical story among the films currently running.
Mirzapur: The Movie Slips Below ₹2 Crore
Mirzapur: The Movie is still drawing audiences, but Wednesday brought another weekday decline.
The crime drama collected an estimated ₹1.90 crore India net on Day 20, compared with around ₹2.15 crore on Tuesday.
Its cumulative India net collection has reached approximately ₹221.65 crore, while its worldwide gross stands near ₹322.59 crore, according to trade estimates.
Crossing ₹200 crore India net has already given the film a substantial theatrical total.
However, the third-week trend now shows that daily collections are settling into a lower range.
The upcoming weekend will therefore become important. A strong Friday-to-Sunday jump could push the film closer to its next major milestone.
Hanuman Ansh vs Mirzapur: The Older Film Wins Wednesday
Wednesday produced perhaps the most eye-catching comparison of the day.
Hanuman Ansh — ₹4.00 crore
Mirzapur: The Movie — ₹1.90 crore
That means the 48-day-old Hanuman Ansh collected more than twice the estimated Wednesday business of Mirzapur: The Movie, which was on Day 20.
The comparison does not necessarily determine the lifetime performance of either film. However, it highlights the unusually strong late-stage momentum that Hanuman Ansh continues to enjoy.
Mandaadi Box Office: ₹2 Crore Keeps South Market Strong
Mandaadi produced another steady weekday result.
The Tamil-Telugu film collected an estimated ₹2 crore India net on Day 14, slightly higher than Tuesday’s ₹1.90 crore.
Its total India net collection has now reached approximately ₹81.90 crore.
Worldwide gross stands at around ₹111.80 crore.
Tamil remained the film’s strongest market on Wednesday, contributing approximately ₹1.45 crore, while the Telugu version added roughly ₹55 lakh.
Unlike several films that lose substantial momentum after the second weekend, Mandaadi managed a small Wednesday improvement.
That makes its Thursday and upcoming weekend performance worth watching.
Resident Evil Holds Better Than Expected
Resident Evil continued to attract audiences in India despite entering the middle of its opening week.
The film collected an estimated ₹1.45 crore India net on Wednesday, down only about 3.3% from Tuesday’s ₹1.50 crore.
Its six-day India net total stands at approximately ₹13.70 crore.
The English version remains the biggest contributor, although Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions are also adding to the total.
For a Hollywood horror release competing with multiple Indian films, Wednesday’s relatively small decline represents a reasonably steady weekday hold.
The real test now comes with its second Friday.
VIBE Drops on Wednesday
VIBE could not fully maintain Tuesday’s recovery.
Trade estimates put its Wednesday collection at approximately ₹1 crore India net, taking its six-day total to about ₹10.45 crore.
The film had collected ₹1.10 crore on Tuesday after falling to ₹90 lakh on Monday.
Wednesday therefore represented another modest dip.
The bigger concern is screen availability as theatres prepare for upcoming releases. Films operating around the ₹1 crore level during weekdays often need a noticeable weekend jump to protect their show count.
Daayra Continues to Struggle
Daayra remained at the lower end of the current box-office race.
The film collected an estimated ₹45 lakh India net on Wednesday, taking its six-day total to around ₹5.95 crore.
Its opening weekend had provided some momentum, but weekday collections have remained around the ₹50 lakh mark.
Thursday and the second weekend will now determine how many screens the film can retain.
Haiwaan Almost Disappears From the Race
Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s Haiwaan has seen its theatrical business collapse sharply after a weak opening.
The film had reached roughly ₹9.89 crore India net by the start of its second week, according to available trade estimates, after earning ₹9.85 crore in Week 1. Subsequent daily business dropped to extremely low levels.
Its opening day had been around ₹3 crore, but collections fell sharply after the first weekend.
At this stage, Haiwaan is no longer competing meaningfully with Hanuman Ansh, Mirzapur: The Movie, Mandaadi or the newer releases for daily box-office leadership.
Wednesday Box Office Ranking
Based on currently available trade estimates for September 23:
1. Hanuman Ansh — ₹4.00 crore
2. Mandaadi — ₹2.00 crore
3. Mirzapur: The Movie — ₹1.90 crore
4. Resident Evil — ₹1.45 crore
5. VIBE — ₹1.00 crore
6. Daayra — ₹0.45 crore
The biggest takeaway is unmistakable.
A film on its 48th theatrical day still topped this group.
Which Film Has the Biggest Total?
Among these films, Hanuman Ansh currently has the largest estimated India net collection at around ₹284.93 crore.
Mirzapur: The Movie follows at approximately ₹221.65 crore.
Mandaadi stands at around ₹81.90 crore, while the newer Resident Evil, VIBE and Daayra remain much earlier in their theatrical journeys.
These totals should not be compared without considering release dates, languages, screen counts and theatrical age.
Still, they provide a useful snapshot of where the current theatrical race stands.
Thursday Could Change the Screen Battle
September 24 is especially important because exhibitors will soon begin adjusting screens for the next round of releases.
Thursday collections often influence how many shows a film retains on Friday.
That puts extra pressure on VIBE and Daayra.
Resident Evil needs to maintain its weekday hold.
Mirzapur: The Movie will look for another weekend revival.
Mandaadi will try to protect its strong southern base.
And then there is Hanuman Ansh.
After 48 days, it should logically be winding down.
Instead, it is still sitting at the top of Wednesday’s box-office chart.
That is what makes today’s box-office race so unusual.
Note: Box-office figures are based on industry tracking and trade estimates available on the morning of September 24, 2026. Final producer-reported numbers can differ.
