Mirzapur The Movie Bookings Delayed Amid Hanuman Ansh Clash

As of September 3, 2026, advance bookings for Mirzapur The Movie are yet to open in numerous Mumbai single-screen theaters. This delay stems from a show-sharing dispute with the currently successful film, Hanuman Ansh, which is reportedly performing exceptionally well. Distributors of Hanuman Ansh are requesting continued showtimes, while Mirzapur The Movie's distributors are seeking full allocation due to strong advance bookings.

The situation is compounded by the significant runtime difference between the two films. Mirzapur The Movie is over three hours long, whereas Hanuman Ansh is two hours and 30 minutes. This makes it challenging for single-screen cinemas to allocate adequate shows for both releases. While some cinemas have opened bookings, many others, including prominent locations, have yet to do so, leaving audiences uncertain about tomorrow's screenings.
