HanuMan Movie Review & Analysis | Teja Sajja | Prashanth Varma 

Funny thing how the Japanese understood our culture and were able to adapt to our story perfectly whereas in our country, people like Om raut and manoj mustashir kept on ranting how we were dumb to understand their story. Btw very happy with creators of Hanuman to depict the film perfectly with such shoestring budgets

This movie proves that If your Vision is big, then no matter the budget, your product will be loved by people.

When I saw that 15 min climax, I realised how much of a mishit Adipurush. The stature of Hanuman in that climax was just majestic. I was sitting beside an elderly woman in the theatre and I saw her folding her hands subconsciously. It just felt that organic. When that stature comes on the screen, it actually feels like he is someone who can protect.

As a Telugu guy, i would like to add few insights to the Audience of other languages... Prashanth Varma has revealed that this is his Cinematic Universe nd has around 12 Super Hero films, all of which are inspired from the Bharatiya Itihaasas, the next film in the line is Adhira, I guess it's a superhero film, based on the powers of Lord Indra, nd Prashanth Varma also mentioned that there are Female Centric Super hero characters too, nd that opens up my thoughts on, where could he possibly be drawing that Super hero's power from? Durga Ma? Kaali Ma? 💖💖 Am genuinely sooo excited for this entire universe to unfold

Now that Guntur Karam didnt meet audience expectations, Hanuman will be a Pan India hit like Baahubali, KGF, Kantara and RRR. I became a huge fan of Prasanth Varma when I saw Awe. To think that an Indian director can even think of making a movie like Awe was mind blowing. He is definitely taking Indian movie industry places.

The main difference is the intent, One who intends to make money and hopes their story works and the other who intends to make a good film and hopes it works at the box office..

Hanuman proves again that Telugu cinema has the best films with Historical/ Mythological settings. Hanuman is just FANTASTIC

Om Raut is trending today! But on a serious note.. Really happy to see the positive reviews for Hanuman. Sure, his vision was greater than budget and that's what the dream factory is all about. Also love that a relatively new and young actor has been cast. He has the talent and freshness to make this a most memorable character in his career.

When it's come to this type of genre movies... No one can beat Telugu directors ❤

So glad to see entire nation applauding & appreciating a small budget Telugu film with a grown up child artist in leading role. Such films must be appreciated regardless of the language of making. I request you guys to take a look at Telugu classics like Mayabazar(based on Mahabharata) , Gundamma katha, Mosagallaku Mosagadu(Cowboy movie).

Telugu cinema rarely miss out on mythology or historical movies♥️The 2001 Anji movie of Chiranjeevi is still miles ahead of what bollywood can achieve in terms of visual effects and story telling... Hands down telugu industry is the face of Indian cinema on global scale

The best mythological movie of Indian cinema is 1950s Mayabazar. At that time it’s a masterpiece. If subtitles are available I would recommend the non Telugu ppl to watch it. It’s a master class in every field of film making

When small budget films with good quality do well, it is different kick altogether if it becomes a hit. Small or big producers will take a chance with new stories, directors. I'm so happy Hanuman is being well received by audience.

Telugu films are about Indian culture 😍❤️ Hindi people pls support this film

Telugu audience born around 85-92 , are grown with quality old mythological movies we used to see in our tv's , From mayabazar to ntr portrayal of characters, Bapu sir's art masterpieces on Ram ...They have a template/standard on content where the current filmmakers have to exceed

Telugu cinema was known for mythological and Hindu stories in movie form . All the popular films were in this genre . We excelled in it . But in the 1980-90s it shifted to rayalaseema factionists and romances / romcoms and family dramas . But to this date mythology is where we put out the best (even if it just has mythological undertones / themes they really excel )and I’m glad to see a movie like that again .

Due competition with gunturkaram very less number of screens are given to Hanuman in telugu states.Hanuman need support from hindi audience to make it blockbuster like karthikeya.

prior to its release, many big producers from telugu film industry created many problems to this team to remove this movie from sankranthi release but this team fought against all odds and became the best movie among the two released today. exactly HANUMAN is the underdog during this festival season and will remain THE BEST movie released this festival season. HANUMAN once again proved that BEST CONTENT ALWAYS WINS

Bro no matter how much you say, some Bollywood directors don't really promote Hinduism. NTL Hanuman is a must watch and needs people's support

Once a Legend said 'please keep one seat for Hanumanji to watch the movie' and now we finally know why!!!😅😂

I loved the entry of Bajrangbali, the level of power,speed, strength and size he poses is perfectly shown. That sonic boom, shattering of entire mountain, fire at his hand due to that immense speed and the best part only sadhu sant noticed him, no any common people like us seen him flying, I will say it was the perfect portrayal of Hanuman ji❤❤❤

Happy to see makers getting inspired by our cultural superheroes and making an organically entertaining movie without being preaching, Hope many more movies come in future on Historical hero's (something like old Mayabazaar reimagined, show Ghatodgaja (S/o Bheema) as super hero )

Hindi people who are deprived of mythology representation in cinema, just watch some of the gems below from Telugu industry.. Break the shackles of Bollywood! Anji,Ammoru,Devi, Arundhati,Annamayya,Sri RamaDasu,Sri Anjaneyam etc

Prashant Verma is a very good director. But I think, not having a super star actor for the lead role helped him stick to his ideas.

It feels good, when stories from our culture and religion is being portrayed with new ways and stories without any controversial stuff and also making us proud in it. ❤❤❤❤

Jay Hanuman, I am definitely going to watch it with my family. With the very low budget of 25 crores he made this hat's off to the Prashant Verma. He needs our support for his next project connected to this movie. 😊❤

It's a sweet movie... watched it because of my niece and nephew, really loved it. Its execution is exactly like how i imagined in my childhood years after watching superhero movies how badly i used to crave for a Indian superhero movie... thinking we have so much potential...why nobody is doing it. Thankyou Telugu cinemas....

Small budget movies are made with passion, while big budget movies are made with the intention to milk the money.

A small regional movie just showed how you can make wonderful movies without crossing 100Cr ( like Kantara did). Hope Bollywood learns some lessons if it has not already from Adipurush misadventure. Hope to see more movies like - Thumbad - Mard ko dard nahi hota - Andhadhun - Talwar Guilty / Rahasya - Dear Zindagi - udaan - Ugly - Pari - Kashmir Files - Ittefaq - Section 375 etc

Mythology is a genre that we can proudly say is our own. But we rarely see these in the current times, they should make more films on our epics!!🙏🔥

WHEN JAMMY STARTS WITH UNDERWHELMING ASPECTS, IT MEANS THE MOVIE IS GOOD ❤

Prashant Varma has got a lot of potential his previous work “AWE” movie is very unique and exciting too….he us a breath of fresh air among routine commercial templates .

2024 off to a great start with Indian content. Also What an unusual Pongal and Sankranti in 2024! All the releases have positive reviews/word of mouth. The only sad part is that the true potential of each of the releases will not be achieved financially due to many releases. Let's try to support good content and may every movie find its audience. The true underdog was Hanu-Man

Adipurush's budget skyrocketed faster than Saif can munch on a Caviar Sandwich from Europe, thanks to extravagant choices like a Vanar Sena costume by Manish Malhotra and Vanity vans stocked with water bottles imported straight from Antarctica. I guess even mythical epics need a touch of global glamour!

Finally a movie with underwhelming aspects first. Hanuman and karna have special connection with people of India, shown as supporting entities in tales for there sides but far more powerful for just supporting entities. Only a plot armour can weaken them against main leads

Was Waiting for adipurush thumbnail 😂

South Gonna Rock in Future 🥵🔥Indian Cinema 🔥🔥 Toxic , Kanguva, Hanuman, Kalki 2898 AD , Pushpa 2, Thanglaan, Captain Miller, Devara , Game Changer, Indian 2, Kantara 2, Spirit, Thailavar 170 , Kaithi 2, GOAT, Raja Deluxe , Thalaivar 171 , Adhira , NTR 31 , Thug Life, Leo 2 , Vikram 3, Vaadivasal , *SSMB29*,Virupaksha 2 KGF 3 , Salaar 2, Rolex, Vaadivasal , Kathanaar the Wild Soccer, UI, Bagheera , 🔥🔥

I can see your change. From calling Ancient Indian mythology to ancient Indian history. 👏

Grander doesn't mean better.. I have given a thought.. If bollywood makes a movie with underrated actors, writers, directors and the whole crew and make a movie in a safe budget.. They can do wonders

Climax mai Hanuman body stature CGI... Makes form *RANA DHAGGUPATI* ... Telugu actor ( Ballalal Dev)

A really good review. You have been a lot netpicking but over the period of listening to all ur reviews you have started acknowledging the effort that goes into making a movie. RESPECT for your reviews. Thank you

Really Happy that this movie actually worked. I have been rooting for this movie since its Teaser. Much needed movie after Adipurush effect

Imagine what Brahmastra universe would have become with a visionary director with knowledge on Ithihasas

Hanuman is just a start for Telugu cinema this year. Waiting for movies like OG, Devara, GC, Pushpa 2 and Kalki❤

Bollywood makes adipurush Tollywood makes bahubali simple 😂 Tollywood knows the money value bro

Old telugu movies from 1950s and 1960s based on our Puranas and starring stalwarts like NTR, SVR, etc were very well made. They covered almost all stories and characters. I wish someone remade those movies with the current technology and VFX we have now (though we do not have actors of the same caliber).

Just a small correction Hanuman budget changed to 40CR after the teaser got hit. And I am glad it did .

The genuineness, research and a comprehensive vision meets top tier conviction inspite of the budgetary constraints through smart and well thought out execution, by selective and wise prioritization of resources to focus on the important stuff and get the best output possible through smart work... This is what Prashanth Varma has achieved .. !! I was clearly able to see some shortcomings, compromises in visual department here and there (I'm nitpicking), but even while noticing those being aware of those that didn't matter as the screenplay cinematography were so well executed that movie captivated my mind throughout. I clearly observed some clever tricks used by Prashant Varma through camera work, lighting, stylistic choices, etc.. to hide the shortcomings of VFX but it never affected the viewing experience. The director brilliantly managed to make those things absolutely stunning, which are important for the experience to look and rest of the focus in on world building, characters, story, writing , screenplay and cinematography. This prioritization some how struck the balance of perfectionism of visuals to vs optimal use of budget to extract maximum out of it. What an effort!! What an experience it gave...! And it's commendable how the director managed it all in 25 cr budget. It's actually unbelievably great effort and it shows on the screen I'm happy I watched it during premiere when the new movies didn't take up the screens for this.

Thanks ANMOL now we had our Hero series to cheer Prashanth should name the universe Like MARVEL/ DC

This is probably a VASTLY overlooked aspect of most Indian movies nowadays, but I always look for a movie that I can show to my young kids. So, when makers attempt movies like this, people like me are game to watch these movies in theaters. I always rued the lack of good kids movies in India in the recent times, when the US built a whole business empire by catering to only kids. Film makers in India are always looking for ways to bring audiences back into theatres.... Hello! Make more kid friendly movies for younger kids . Parents are constantly trying to engage their kids outside the school, there would be better footfalls in movie theaters, especially multiplexes.

Tollywood has delivered once again. ❤

I wish Hanuman 🥰 movie is Blockbuster 🔥🔥🔥

Don't know why they didn't promote it in the last leg. I got shown the trailer during RU-vid shorts once yesterday. Hopefully they get a hit and we can see more of the mythological filmography from their side.

Dude, if you really want to understand Telugu movies, I really siggest Mayabazaar and Bhookailas and Sri Sitaramaulakalyanam... Some of the greatest stories told technically and artistically showing the lost glory of Telugu Cinema

I went into the movie without watching this review and I was blown away, I didn't expect it to be this good..I hope their second part after this, what promise Hanuman made to lord Ram, was I wondering after the movie ended

I'm so excited to see the movie after your review. I was slightly worried that this movie, while being a great step ahead in the direction of bringing characters from our itihas in the most popular movie genre, might be underwhelming. I'm glad it's not. Thanks Prashanth Varma!

After a long time i felt full packed telugu movie like ammoru, Anji, Anjaneyudu, Deviputrudu. Its so overwhelming. Even after watching a good Telugu movies in few years... But today watching HanuMan felt like i went few years back when I used to watch pure Telugu movie in a theatre. Enjoyed so much!! The innocence teja sajja stil has from his childhood face ❤ makes me root for me more in in the film ❤

After a Mediocre 2023 , Tollywood starred off 2024 very well , 1-0 already. Waiting for the huge lineup this year !

I wanted to see this movie, especially with my son & I booked the tickets for Sunday just yesterday. I was hoping that you review the movie as soon as possible. And it was a pleasant surprise when I saw your Insta Story this morning. I just hope my 8 year old loves this movie.

So happy to see Prashanth Varma who is such a creative director and has sound knowledge in technical departments is also rich in Etihasas...He already stated Hanuman is Very Small try for something Very Big to Come...For Me there are so many Highs...Music,BGM,VFX,Title Card Scene, Vibishana Fight, Hanuman Scenes and Last Climax is GOOSEBUMPS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

telugu cinema is expert in taking historical films ! .tollywood jai sri ram !

Hanuman success shows when you feel Bhagwan in your heart, you will do justice to the movie irrespective of the budget.

I watched Hanuman and think the money I wasted on Adipurush was recovered by this movie. This has everything I anticipated to be in Adipurush. Simple, Sweet, Organic....The producers made and accurate use of CGI, even though it was not at the level of 100 crore budget, but it is digestible to the point that you are engrossed in the movie's story line and not only the CGI. The animated bits of meeting of Shri Hanuman and Hanumant are the best !! My rating - 9/10

Telugu cinema 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Jai shree ram

Also ₹5 of every ticket will be offered to Shri Ram in Ayodhya 🤌🏼🙏🏼♥️👑🙌🏼 This movie is blessed!! 🙏🏼 Jai Shree Ram!! Jai Bajrangbali!!❤

Watched it last night (the movie released in the USA on Jan 11th itself) and loved every scene of it (even though I watched the Telugu version and had to constantly rely on the English subtitles to understand the dialogues)! Such a beautiful film with its heart in the right place. Except a few scenes, as you pointed out in your review, I was hard-pressed to find any flaws whatsoever in the movie. The characters, the world, the mythos, screenplay, imagery...everything was on point. Not for a second did anything feel lacking, forced or cringy. The director's conviction showed all throughout, and I kept imagining what he could do with a better budget, better action choreography and better VFX - things I am sure he will have access to in his future movies after this one!

Every Indian should watch . It's our pride ⭐❤

I have worked with director very closely.. his vision and thinking is so mesmerising He Always focus on content and storytelling One of best vfx in Indian cinemas Spoiler alert: 🐉 😂✊

Prashant Verma is a brilliant director. Awe was a masterpiece

Batman + Superman + spiderman + etc.. = Hanuman जय श्री राम 🚩 जय श्री हनुमान 🕉

yesterday i watched the movie , damn i didnt expect it to be that good, in last 30 min people went crazy in the theatres , even now remembering that moment gives me goosebumps , planning to go again tomorrow

Seriously to say I have known most of the mythology stories from Telugu Cinema only, great thanks to our Telugu actors like NTR, ANR garu and many directors who made the mythology movies in such an interesting way and not disturbing the main point of the mythology and mainly not making an insulting movie like Adhipurush..... Today why Telugu directors are making such effective movies is because our legendary directors or actors never taken audience as for granted and they are very serious about their passion and our history and now they are inspiration for all these directors n actors of Tollywood....Those legendary people gave very strong roots for us and will inspire upcoming generations also. I am very proud to say no movie industry in India have made many quality movies on mythology except Telugu Industry. Till today we watch those movies which were made before 1950 's and after that years also......

Zombie reddy is also amazing AF...I watched it a lot of times without getting bored...❤

I'm so overwhelmed and so excited for what Prashant has in for us in future. Hanuman's so amazing and Adhira looks impressive already. And I must say, the Telugu film industry does their best with ithihasas always, like no other. Be it showing the classic story or something with a modern touch. We can see the graph from Mayabazaar. There are few missteps taken too sometimes ( like Shakuntalam ) but such kinds are very rare.

It feels good, when Small but Great movies does wonders in the box office. I hope HanuMan does the same. Rooting for it to become a Proper PAN- India hit Also, Jammy review:Tamil movie, Parking

Jai shree HANUMAN 🙏🙏

Meanwhile Adipurush after the review: "Mujhe kyun toda?🥺💀"

Prashant varma universe have 12 super heroes lined up with definitely one going to be female superpower. He mentioned it in an interaction with Adavisesh. He is confident that with time, he is going to beat Avatar, and I'm rooting for that more than anything.

I am a Telugu speaking person , Telugu speaking audience are abusing Om Raut after watching this film . Telugu audience are saying give this man Budget he will even beat SS Rajamouli (Director) Prashanth varma

Tried and Refused Productions ❌ Adipurush Rant Productions ✅

The timing of the movie is just right !!

The review starts with 'The Underwhelming Aspect'. Tickets are Booked instantly.

Still want to mess with Telugu film industry? We are getting best . Once upon a time every guy said Telugu movie masala movie now it's one of the biggest industry in India

Half of the Indian avengers are ready Hanu man, minnal murali, krish , mahaveeran

My theater turned into a music concert during the last 5-10 mins. Unreal experience.

I want to know, whats your view on "UI" movie Firstlook teaser

This proves intent is the main driving force for great movie. Only budget , big star , big director cannot ensure good output. I am stunned by the sheer visual effect of the trailer of a 50 cr movie. Adipurush can go to shame. Seriously it is way too good graphics for 50 cr film. I am actively promoting this film to my friends . This must be superhit movie for Prashant Verma and team to encourage and produce more these films.

If this is any indication, Project K is going to be a masterpiece.

glad you said "History" - thank you!!!!

Hindi me jo deka h AAP mhuje ye bata sakta h ki movie me bhot kuch telugu pop culture and Telugu Heros references h, apku wo kaise dikaya Gaya and how you feel when it comes to you...

All things apart, lets take a movement to appreciate Jammy and his new funny intros

Even when you are praising a film you will surely leave no chance to criticize Telugu film industry on a whole. Why such unfair bias

The trailer seemed pretty underwhelming but Jammy has pretty much convinced me to check this one out.

Damn now I'm hyped. Will definitely watch this one the big screen

Telugu cinema rocks. Prashant vsrma is a legend in making like the one and only Rajamouli! Period!

My favourite Ramayan would be the animated one with manoj bajpayee and ashutosh rana voice over

One more thing I want to add is, in telugu language, the monkey's dubbing was given by Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and was hilarious apart from get up srinu and Satya's funny scenes

Booked my ticket right away!! Thanks, Jammy

Prashant varma's movies 1. Awe - 🤯🤯🤯 2. Kalki 😊😊😊 3. Jombie reddy - ☠️☠️☠️ now the 4.Hanu - man ❤❤❤
