Meanwhile, while reviewing Hanu-Man, NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee said, “Hanu-Man is a blend of the mythic and the mundane, the bombastic and the blithe. The film constantly flits from the epic to the everyday as it presents the coming-of-age story of an ordinary village boy who one fine day acquires Hanuman-like strength. The first hour or so of the 158-minute movie is devoted to setting the stage for the grand transition - the man's extraordinary leap into the league of superheroes as the world knows them. It is only after 40 minutes of meandering through his light-hearted shenanigans and comic misadventures that Hanu-Man reaches the point from where the essential classic confrontation between good and evil can begin.”
Hanu-Man is the first instalment of Prasanth Varma's cinematic universe. In addition to Teja Sajja, the film stars Amritha Aiyer, Veralaxmi Sarathkumar, Vinay Rai, and Deepak Shetty.
