Hanu Man

Well this was in my opinion one of the best movie to start the year,this movie shows if you have potential story and mix it with Great Indian Mythology you can get to greater heights.

I am not an VFX or CGI expert but seeing the budget of this movie and of Adipurush it's about 1/20 time, but they had no intention of giving good movie although they had the story which almost everyone knows This movie shows you can deliver quality and all of the kudos the prashant Verma sir who seamlessly mixed the Mythology and superhero genre, Last Hanuman shots were literally goosebumps🔥May this universe expands more and we get our beloved HANUMAN charging the Superhero army and slaying the villains. The movie has story, fun,action and Mythology, also kudos to BGM creators🎶🙏 In the last JAI JAI SHREE RAM🚩🚩

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."

It's a routine mass entertainer done well, with drama, emotions and well placed laughs. But we all know that's not all, and that's never the focus of the movie. It's HANUMAN, and movie ensure that the audience don't loose focus of it with great cinematography, character and place namings, symbolism, and ofcourse the story arc itself.

The Introductory piece of the movie is done in Rajumauli Style ( for the sake of familiarity) and is done nearly as well. You could always see that the VFX team never had enough budget to go all guns blazing. But at the same time, it was evident that they brought all the sincerity and intent to make the best of the available resources and almost always got the basics of VFX right, be it underwater scene, or others.

Post the Introductory scene, it takes you through a storyline where arguably it helps to the submit to the director's way of storytelling. In no way, director stretches the style of storytelling and uses extreme exaggeration that we are not already accustomed to Superhero cinema ( in India and beyond) but seeing it being done by not some A listers might through viewers off a little.

And post that movie completely submerged itself into a well crafted masala entertainer. Who is the lead before he gets power, how he gets power, how it changes the small villege, how the antagonist and protagonist meets makes the main plot, with his love story, and villege political dynamics makes up the secondary plot on which the rest of movie revolves.

But what gets you the screaming on top of your lungs Jai Shri Ram at the end of the movie is the climax that fills you with pride and anticipation of what is going to come next.

I watched it in Hindi and the dubbing was pretty neat. A good indicator of that is always how the comedy scenes are dubbed and it was done well to get the hearty laugh out of the audience.

WATCH IT TODAY.

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.

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.
