American singer performs hit from the film 'Hanuman Ansh,' video garners 1.6 million views

Interest in Indian films is currently surpassing interest in South Indian cinema. The film 'Hanuman Ansh,' which has been in theaters for 50 days, is showing high box office collections. Although several other films were released during its run, they proved to be unsuccessful. New major movies premiered in theaters this week, attracting public attention.

Among them are 'The One' starring Siddharth Malhotra and Tamma Bhatia, as well as Nani's 'The Paradise,' which competed with it.

Considering 'Hanuman Ansh': on its 50th day, there was a slight decrease in revenue. According to Sakencilk, on its seventh Friday, the film earned a net of 3.35 crore rupees across 3767 screens. The film's total net collection reached 291.53 crore rupees. Due to the release of new movies, the number of screens showing 'Hanuman Ansh' also significantly decreased. Previously, on the 24th, the film was shown on approximately 6000 screens, indicating that its earnings began to gradually decline.

On the other hand, Nani and Raghav Jurel's film 'The Paradise,' released on a weekday on September 24th, also faced serious financial losses. After earning over 45 crore rupees in net collection on its premiere day, the film's revenue dropped by 57% on the second day. By Friday, the film collected a net of 14.90 crore rupees, reaching 61.15 crore rupees over two days. Based on the start, it seemed the film would easily collect 100 crore rupees in two days, but this now seems unlikely. The film faced a serious slump due to negative audience reviews.

Meanwhile, the film 'The One Force of the Forest,' produced with the involvement of Ekta Kapoor, created a sensation at the box office. It started with an opening collection of 8 crore rupees across 7646 screens on the first day. States such as Bihar and Uttar Pradesh contributed the most to this success. The film's plot is related to the Temple of the Forest Goddess in Bihar and depicts the sacred festival of Chhath Puja, which evokes a strong emotional connection among the local population. Critics gave the film mixed reviews. Nevertheless, the film starring Siddharth Malhotra started its run with a strong beginning, and it remains to be seen what its total earnings will be over its entire run.

At the ceremony for the 72nd National Film Awards, held today in Kevadia, Gujarat state (which has been renamed Ekta Nagar), the film 'Article 370' became one of the main winners. It won three significant awards: Best Feature Film, Best Actress for Yami Gautam, and Best Music Direction (Songs) for Shashwat Sachdev.

The producer and screenwriter of 'Article 370', Aditya Dhar, arrived at the ceremony with his wife, actress Yami Gautam, who received the Best Actress award specifically for this film.

Discussing the situation with DD, Yami Gautam shared her feelings, saying that she is very pleased. She considers this award the highest recognition for any artist and believes it is the greatest award one can receive from their country. She added that she is still trying to process her emotions.

During the event, a question arose regarding 'Dhurandhar' from Aditya Dhar, Yami Gautam's husband, and the director of the film 'Dhurandhar'. He replied with a smile, stating: 'We are here for Article 370. We hope that if we come here next year, we will definitely talk about 'Dhurandhar'. '

Aditya Dhar's words clearly indicate that the director hopes that the film 'Dhurandhar' or the actors associated with it will receive the national award, although the answer will only be known next year.

It is worth noting that the film 'Dhurandhar' by Ranveer Singh and its sequel 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' were among the films considered by the jury for India's submission to the Academy Awards in 2027. However, despite being one of the biggest Indian releases of the year, neither of these films made it into the final selection.

The film 'Dhurandhar', directed by Aditya Dhar, features Ranveer Singh, Akshaya Khanna, Sanjay Datta, Arjun Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Saru Arjun in its cast. The first part was released in theaters in December 2025, and the second part was shown in March 2026.

Following the commercial success of the film 'Hanuman Ansh' in Bollywood, a new method for creating successful pictures appears to have been found. Shortly after, the production of a series of films dedicated to religious themes was announced. Let's look at these projects in more detail.

A film titled 'Haare Ke Sahara Khatu Shyam Hamare Naam' has been announced, which will be based on the life of Khatu Shyam Baba and will showcase his greatness, which evokes deep devotion among people.

Additionally, the film 'Rabola' has been announced, which will be directed by Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi, known for the film 'Prithviraj Chauhan' starring Akshay Kumar. This project tells the story of the life of the great poet Tulsidas.

Another film about the great poet Tulsidas is planned to be directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, the creator of 'Hanuman Ansh'. This is his new project, which is generating great interest among the public.

Next year, Sanjay Mishra and Palash Muchhal will present the film 'Tera Sai Naam', in which viewers will be able to see the life of Sai Baba on the big screen. Although films and series about him have been made before, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop after the success of 'Hanuman Ansh'.

'Shrimad Bhagwatam' has also been announced as a seven-part film. The first teaser poster for 'Shrimad Bhagwatam Part I' was released, showing a fragment of Lord Krishna's hand.

The sequel 'Hanuman Ansh' has also been announced by Vishal Chaturvedi. In this part, the focus will be on the early years of Nim Karoli Baba, which were not as prominently featured in the first part.

This year, 'Krishnavataram Part 1' was released in theaters, causing a great stir among viewers. The film achieved good box office success, leading to the announcement of its second part.
