Hanu Man

Words fall short to express my gratitude towarrds director Prashanth Verma, lead actor Teja Sajja, towards multiple BGM composers, cinematographer and VFX team for achieve such a epic output of a movie with "Hanuman".

There were several moments where everyone in theater jumped out of their sets to screem Jai Shri Ram, Jai Hanuman, Jai Bhajarang bali and more. The amalgamation of a simple story into the grand itihaasa of Bharathavarsha is a stroke of genius by the master story teller director Prashanth Verma. Complimenting that is the Solid VFX generated. Binding all this is the mind boggling background story. It works every time in the movie.

The last 40mins is where the movie peaks. It goes higher higher and higher, leaving everyone with goosebumps when we reach the end credits. People were Screeming Jai Shri Ram all the way, the excitement even carried outside the theater as well.

I am still wondering with a minimal budge of 55crores, this team was able to make such a grand movie, what would they with budget which SS Rajamouli gets.

The film boasts a good storyline with a well-executed Indian superhero flair. Character development is commendable, particularly with the endearing Hanu Man, though the Super villain character could have been more captivating.

Teja Sajja shines in his role, delivering a fantastic performance.

Getup Seenu's look and performance is fantastic. Satya is fun.

Vara Lakshmi portrays her character decently, although her articulation disorder may be distracting; considering this, a dubbing artist might enhance the overall experience.

Vinay Rai as the antagonist is visually fitting, and his performance is nothing short of terrific.

Amrita Iyer, resembling a side character from Telugu TV serials, gives a lackluster performance, suggesting she may not be best suited for the big screen.

The supporting cast performs well, and the film benefits from appealing locations. While the cinematography is pleasing, sets and costumes, while good, lack a certain naturalness.

The music is fitting, and the VFX, given the budget constraints, is commendable, even if not groundbreaking.

Action choreography could have been better.

Some mythological elements might not be entirely convincing, but they are forgivable.

Overall, it's a theatrical watch worth considering.

Director PrasanthVarma crafts a solid entertainer... HanuMan is ambitious and exciting - packs drama, emotions, VFX and mythology skilfully... Loaded with goosebump moments + extraordinary finale... Recommended. The VFX plays a pivotal part, garnishing the goings-on wonderfully, but not once does it overpower the story... Dubbing of all principal characters is appropriate... Only hiccup, the run time could've been shorter.

With solid storytelling, impressive visuals, and strong performances, the film successfully merges elements of mythology with contemporary action, offering a unique viewing experience in Indian cinema.

Ever since, we were kids, for us, Hanuman was not just a deity but a superhero in his own right, who is a testament to his deep devotion, loyalty, and dedication to Lord Rama, making him a revered figure in Hindu mythology for his selfless service and unwavering commitment to dharma (righteousness). And, the film Hanu Man amplifies that sentiment, making it a delightful experience for audiences of all ages."Wherever there is righteousness, Lord Hanuman prevails."

The opening segment acknowledges the influence of Marvel and DC superhero films through the character of a boy who hopes that he, too, will be a spiderman after being bitten by a spider. However, this sets the stage for a superpower-thirsty maniac Michael (Vinay Rai) who goes by the moniker M. While M's world is high on technology and the city's night skyline is dotted with high rises, Prasanth Varma contrasts this with the town of Anjanadri, flanked by mountains, valleys and a larger-than-life rock carving of Hanuman.

The underdog in this story is Hanumanthu (Teja Sajja), a happy go lucky guy who lives with his sister Anjamma (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar). Anjanadri is set in the parallel world of Akhand Bharath whose inhabitants range from people who have been untouched by urbanisation to a monkey named Koti (with voiceover by Ravi Teja). Sweeping drone shots show a picturesque Anjanadri that is reminiscent of a few fictional kingdoms we have seen in superhero films. The large Hanuman rock carving, at a later point, is effectively used to stage heroic moments, in a nod to Rajamouli's Baahubali.

No doubt Hanu Man so far the best Indian superhero film ever created. This is what we call direction. All credit belongs to movie director Prasanth Varma. His vision, narrative, and direction elevated the film to the next level. With just a 30 crore budget, he developed this type of masterpiece; think if he had a larger budget, he could definitely make bigger films. Each scene gives you goosebumps 🔥🔥. Suspense, thriller, comedy, action, and whatever else we desire in a movie, we can find it. The background music elevated the film to a new level. Just watch it in a nice theatre, and you will absolutely love it. Our country has numerous stories (itihasa) to tell, but no one is able to create decent films based on our cultural heritage. However, this film demonstrated that it is possible to make wonderful films with our itihasa. #HanuMan #goosebumps. There are no words to compliment this film. Just watch it...💥.
