The Sunday figure also went past the previous India level seventh week record of Rs. 20 crore nett set by Kantara.
The latest weekend marks the third weekly record achieved by Hanuman Ansh during its theatrical run. The scale of the records has increased as the film has continued to hold strongly in later weeks.
