Hanuman Ansh OTT Release Date: Neem Karoli Baba Biopic Streams on Sony LIV From November 27

Hanuman Ansh is a devotional drama about the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, directed by Vishal Chaturvedi. Made on a reported budget of around Rs 2 crore, the film became one of the year’s biggest box office stories. 

After more than three months in cinemas, it is preparing for a second life online. The Hanuman Ansh OTT Release Date gives viewers who missed its unusual theatrical run a chance to watch the story from home.

Know About Hanuman Ansh OTT Release Date

Sony LIV will begin streaming Hanuman Ansh on November 27, 2026. The platform announced the date on its official social media accounts on November 6, describing the film as a story of faith, devotion and miracles.

The makers’ press release says Sony has acquired the Hindi streaming rights and satellite rights for television. The TV premiere date has not been announced, so viewers should not assume it will arrive alongside the digital release.

Chaturvedi has said the OTT launch should take the film beyond cinemas. It can reach people who missed it in theatres, viewers hoping to watch it again, and audiences in small towns and around the world. Sony LIV is a subscription service, so access requires a suitable plan. The Hanuman Ansh OTT Release Date confirms the online launch, not a television premiere.

Which Languages Will It Stream In?

Hindi is the only language confirmed for the Sony LIV release. Producer Namrata G Singh of Swambhu Media Network said Sony had secured the Hindi streaming and satellite rights, while all other language rights remained open.

The makers are in talks for Indian and global markets. Some reports have mentioned Telugu, but the producer’s statement confirms only Hindi. No dates for other-language versions have been announced, so their release status remains unconfirmed.

From 25 Screens to a Blockbuster Run

Hanuman Ansh opened in cinemas on August 7, 2026, after its planned July 31 release was pushed back. Its first two weeks looked bleak. Sacnilk figures put its first-week India net at about Rs 1.08 crore, followed by roughly Rs 0.4 crore in the second week.

Then audiences began recommending it. The screen count reportedly climbed from around 25 to 700 as word of mouth brought more people in. The film entered the Rs 100 crore India net club in 31 days. Its fifth week alone delivered Rs 86.50 crore net, described in reports as an all-time record for a fifth week.

Hombale Films took the film to cinemas worldwide on September 11, 2026. It went on to cross Rs 342 crore in India, while the makers have said its worldwide collection exceeded Rs 450 crore.

What Is Hanuman Ansh About?

The film follows the early years of Neem Karoli Baba, who was born Lakshman Narayan Sharma. His life takes a painful turn when he loses his mother. Grief leaves the boy questioning God, life and death, and he eventually walks away from home in search of the divine.

That journey leads him towards the spiritual identity devotees came to know as Neem Karoli Baba, also called Maharaj-ji. He was a devotee of Lord Hanuman. The film centres on love, compassion and selfless service, with a connection to Kainchi Dham, the place closely associated with his legacy. Its runtime is about 2 hours 30 minutes.

Shobhinaw Satyaa plays Neem Karoli Baba in his feature-film acting debut. His route to the lead role was unusual. He had joined the production as a second assistant director, where he handled props. When the original lead actor fell ill, Chaturvedi noticed Satyaa’s resemblance to the spiritual figure. A five-hour screen test followed, and Satyaa was cast. He has said he has been a devotee of Neem Karoli Baba since 2009.

Vihaan Shedge, aged 13, portrays the younger Neem Karoli Baba. Purnima Tiwari appears as Rambeti, his wife, while Chandan Anand plays Bhonsle.

Vishal Chaturvedi wrote and directed the film. Swambhu Media Network produced it, with Namrata G Singh, Ragini Sona and Anupriya Nagar among the producers.

Conclusion

Hanuman Ansh kicked off with a low-key release. The initial few collections were not looking great. But then the word of mouth slowly started to build up and the movie started getting attention. Now it gets a new lease on life.

The Hanuman Ansh OTT Release Date has been confirmed on Sony LIV. This means that the movie will be readily available without any issues with the number of theatres it will be shown in. It is a long way from a movie which didn’t get much screen initially.
