Currently, there is a battle going on in the theaters between ‘Awarapan 2’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Batwara 1947’. The budget of all three films is big, the star cast is also big. While ‘Awarapan 2’ and ‘Toxic’ are ahead in the box office battle, ‘Batwara 1947’ is lagging behind. Meanwhile, a video of a girl crying is going viral. Everyone thinks that she is probably crying because she could not get tickets for any of these three films. But when asked, she said, I had come to see ‘Hanuman Andha’, but I could not get tickets.
The surprising thing is, while the seats of films with a budget of 500-100 crores like ‘Toxic’ are empty, how is the film ‘Hanuman Andha’, which is only 2 crores, being housefull? No one had heard the name of the film’s protagonist or director before. The film’s promotion was not even discussed. There was no news of the first look, teaser and trailer. All this was only posted on the film’s social media handle.
This film based on Neem Karoli Baba could not do business at all for the first 2 weeks, but the fourth week was so amazing that despite competing with big films like ‘Toxic’, it earned 800 percent. The film’s collection crossed 42 crores. After removing the big film, ‘Hanuman Andha’ is now being given the big screen. Its tickets are being booked in large numbers on the booking platform. The reason why this low-budget film has achieved such a big success is now a matter of discussion.
‘Hanuman Andha’ was released on the 7th of this month in very few screens. After the release of ‘Awarapan-2’ and ‘Batwara-1947’ on August 14, the film got even fewer theaters. When it was removed from the screen due to low income, the producer requested the distributor to run it for a third week. After the negative response to ‘Toxic’ on the first day, ‘Hanuman Andha’ was released on 5363 screens in the country. But on the day of its release, it got more than 300 shows. Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, this film features Shobinav Satya playing the role of Neem Karoli Baba. He studied from FTII, Pune. Apart from acting, he has worked as an associate director, second unit director, storyboard and continuity department. He has worked in projects like ‘Mahapur’, ‘CID’, ‘Ragini MMS’ and ‘Happily Ever After’. Chandan Anand is playing the lead role in the film. Before this, he had played the role of Pashwar in a TV series. ‘Hanuman Andha’ is a spiritual film. It shows the childhood story of Neem Karoli Baba and his search for God.
