The film ‘Hanuman’ made its debut on January 12, and the anticipation leading up to its release was just the beginning. With impactful teasers and trailers, it garnered significant attention. Despite facing challenges securing theaters in Nizam, the movie triumphed over obstacles and gained blockbuster acclaim following its premiere on January 11. Now, let’s delve into the various records that ‘Hanuman’ has established, setting it apart as the Sankranti Winner of 2024.
1. Setting an all-time record, this Telugu film stands as the sole movie to surpass 1000 premiere shows, a distinction that no other film in the past has achieved.
2. Securing the second-highest collection among Sankranti releases, this film seems unlikely to surpass that record in the foreseeable future. Topping the list is the movie ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramulo,’ which holds the first position; however, the film in question is not a Pan India release.

8. In addition to Nizam, ‘Hanuman’ has joined the ranks of a select few films that have surpassed the Rs. 50 crore mark in regions such as overseas, Hindi, and the rest of India. This accomplishment stands as another remarkable record.
9. ‘Hanuman’ has amassed collections in 15 days that surpass any other Telugu movie, and it also holds the record for Republic Day holiday earnings.
