Low-Budget Film Hanuman Ansh Outperforms Akshay Kumar's Haiwaan
What happened
The film Hanuman Ansh achieved a worldwide gross of Rs 300.25 crore with a budget of Rs 1.75 to 2 crore. This success occurred despite the film having no major star and avoiding traditional promotional methods, such as using Instagram Reels or appearing on Kapil Sharma. Hanuman Ansh surpassed Haiwaan, a film starring Akshay Kumar, and Mirzapur: The Movie.

Why it matters
The performance of Hanuman Ansh suggests that films with minimal budgets and no established star power can achieve massive financial returns. This trend raises questions about the viability of traditional, star-driven marketing and production models within the Indian film industry.
