Akshay Kumar’s 2026 Box Office Run
Akshay Kumar has had a relatively good year at the box office, with Bhooth Bangla emerging as a hit and Welcome to the Jungle also performing wellHowever, Welcome to the Jungle could have sustained its momentum better.
Haiwaan, meanwhile, arrived with limited expectations, so its poor performance is unlikely to have a major impact on Akshay’s overall box-office standingThe actor has continued to maintain a steady flow of releases, something the industry could benefit from if more leading stars follow a similar approach.
The last couple of months have also been positive for the Hindi film industry, with a steady stream of releases and several films performing well.
Hanuman Ansh Continues Its Strong Run
While Haiwaan is struggling, Hanuman Ansh continues to surprise at the box office even 36 days after its releaseThe film earned Rs 10.50 crore on Friday, its 36th day, which was significantly higher than Haiwaan’s Rs 3.60 crore on the same day, according to Sacnilk.
The devotional drama has already collected Rs 214.49 crore overallIt also earned Rs 7.91 crore from theatres on Saturday so far.
What makes Hanuman Ansh’s run even more remarkable is its reported budget of just Rs 2 croreWith its massive box-office earnings compared to its modest budget, the film has emerged as one of the most profitable Indian films in terms of return on investment.
