HanuMan story

Hanumanthu (Teja) is a small-time thief dwelling an idyllic life together with his sister Anjamma (Varalaxmi) within the fictional village of Anjanadri. The village appears underdeveloped, virtually lower off from the world, with nature and a big statue of Hanuman surrounding it. When Hanumathu finds a totem that permits him to do way more together with his life, it attracts the eye of Michael (Vijay) and his good friend Siri (Vennela Kishore). A sequence of occasions places Anjanadri and the world in bother, and Hanumanthu should rise as much as the problem.

HanuMan overview

On paper once you have a look at HanuMan, it feels nothing greater than your cookie cutter superhero origin story. There’s an underdog who’s typically missed by everybody until he beneficial properties superpowers. There’s a hilarious sidekick (Getup Srinu) who refuses to imagine his lanky good friend can have superpowers until he proves it. It’s all enjoyable and video games until the stakes get larger and an awesome present of power follows an ‘all is lost’ second. But, Prashanth does all of it so nicely, that you just virtually don’t thoughts.

What works

HanuMan takes its personal candy time to get into the thick of issues. The movie sees hilarious moments generated due to Srinu, Satya, a monkey known as Koti (Ravi Teja), and others. Sunishith and Rakesh Master even have cameos referencing their histrionics on YouTube.

The movie picks up tempo when Hanumanthu discovers his superpowers and has enjoyable with this data. HanuMan additionally reveals why it’s so onerous to arrange a superhero movie in Telugu when the likes of Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun and Balakrishna play on a regular basis characters and make baddies fly in business cinema even with out superpowers.

The coronary heart of this movie lies in nothing however the story of this underdog not realising his personal power, very like Lord Hanuman. And the connection he shares together with his sister, who will get a whistle-worthy second when she stands up for him.

What doesn’t work

After a robust starting that reveals simply how harmful Michael could be, the movie dabbles in a love story that includes Meenakshi (Amritha), and units up one other villain (Raj Deepak Shetty) – each of which just about result in nowhere. It simply makes you want the movie had spent extra time devoted to Michael, delving deeper into his must have energy at any price.

When launched to Anjanadri, HanuMan’s VFX work is top-notch with a drone-like shot that stays with you. On the opposite hand, a few of the movie’s key moments – particularly an emotional sequence and the climax – are diluted somewhat as a result of you may’t assist however discover that the CGI is not so good as the ambition is. The helicopter pictures additionally look amateurish.

The PVCU universe

Prashanth does job of drawing you into the universe of Anjanadri. Anudeep Dev, Gowra Hari and Krishna Saurabh’s music additionally helps with that, aside from Dasaradhi Sivendra’s cinematography. While the tune Avakaya Anjaneya doesn’t add a lot to the story general, it’s enjoyable to observe Hanumanthu come unto his personal whereas beating up some dacoits as a people tune performs within the background.

More than something, HanuMan has somewhat little bit of every part households search for in a Sankranthi fare. The movie retains you entertained for two hours 38 minutes and looks like one thing kids would love. With the sequel, Jai Hanuman and Adhira starring Kalyan Dasari, it stays to be seen how Prashanth carries the momentum ahead.
