HANU-MAN

watched #HANU-MAN : Let me make this clear, This is Not a Cult Classic Movie but a VERY GOOD movie with a proper mix of Science Fiction & Mythology along with Mass Commercial Elements!!!

Prasanth Varma has always been a unique storyteller and his previous movies Awe, Kalki & Zombie Reddy stand as Testimony of his story writing capabilities. And in this movie also he showed his uniqueness in selecting the plot of a guy on a quest to become a Super Hero ends up being a Super Villain which sounded unique at least for me.

Direction wise Prasanth Varma did a very good job in making sure to mix almost all commercial elements like Mass Comedy & Sentiment into this movie barring Special Song :P…The First & Last 10 mins are the Heart and Soul of this movie, where in the First 10 he established the Villain Conflict very well and in the last 10 mins he made sure the ground is set for establishing the Prasanth Cinematic Universe….Considering this the First movie of the Franchise this is no less than the First Iron Man movie of the Avengers……barring the first and last 10 mins the remaining movie is filled with regular commercial elements of what is the bare minimum for a Super Hero movie and hence I don’t count this as the best work of Prasanth Varma who made me go Awestruck with his very first directorial AWE!!!!!

Coming to the CGI all those social media posts of going gaga over top-notch Visuals looked Overhyped for me and I felt there is a lot of scope for improvement but considering the budget the team has done very good work….with the film being Successful hopefully the budgets will increase for upcoming ventures and we can get top notch visuals

Teja Sajja gave a very good performance and looked apt for the role…Vinsy Rai was perfect as the stylish super villain :)

BGM is the Soul of this movie and the music directors did a fantastic job, especially with the Hanuman Chalisa BGM…..somehow I feel that most of the appreciation that the VFX team is getting should go to the music directors for providing such a BGM to take the audience into a trance and thus enhancing the visual impact of what is shown on screen.

Overall Content & Taking wise this movie is Good and has achieved a cult status only due to the fact of being a Low Budget film with lesser known star cast. Same Output with High Budget and Famous Star Cast would have definitely got mixed views……and also among Hindu Gods, Kids have a special liking for Lord Hanuman and that's the major backbone of this movie
