Hanuman Movie Review – Lord Hanuman’s Visual Treat

Movie: Hanuman
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Teja Sajja, Amrita Aiyer, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Vinay Rai, Samudrakhani, Vennela Kishore, Getup Sreenu, and others
Director: Prashanth Varma
Produced By: K Niranjan Reddy
Release Date: 11th January 2024

Teja Sajja and Prashanth Varma’s Hanuman have gained a lot of craze through its teaser, trailer, and aggressive promotions. Also, the film was popular because of a few controversies. Hanuman Movie turns out to be Lord Hanuman’s Visual Treat.

Story: A person wants to be a superhero to rule the world with bad intentions, and the film is set in Anjanadri village, where an evil person rules. Lord Hanuman gifts his powers to a normal person to encounter this threat. The story unfolds as this ordinary person saves Anjanadri village and the entire world from an evil-minded aspiring superhero.

Performances: Teja Sajja was good, and his performance was convincing in the role of Hanumanthu. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Vinay Rai, and Amrita Aiyer were apt. Getup Srinu and Vennela Kishore were appropriate.

Hanuman Movie Analysis:

The director deals with the first half in a very entertaining and engaging way. Comedy tracks between Teja Sajja and Getup Srinu work hilariously. With Hanuman references, a good interval block, and the introduction of the main villain, the first half is set up very well. Moving to the second half, there is a lag for the first 30 minutes. Villain characterization and brother-sister episodes could have been better, but the movie gains momentum from the pre-climax. The climax is a goosebumps-inducing experience with Hanuman’s terrific presence, followed by excellent BGM.

Positives:

  • Lord Hanuman’s presence
  • Visuals and BGM
  • Lead cast performance
  • Entertainment

Negatives

  • Weak villain characterization
  • Emotional scenes could have been better

Hanuman Movie Review and Verdict:

Hanuman is worth watching on the big screen. It is Lord Hanuman’s Visual Treat. Prashant Varma delivers on his promise, showcasing the mass/superhero human best, engaging the audience with great devotion, and providing goosebumps.

Venkatesh’s interview for Saindhav – Extraordinary climax, Highly emotional and well designed action

New Age Action, Emotions Blend: ‘Saindhav’ Entertains — Venkatesh

Renowned actor Victory Venkatesh marks his 75th milestone with the highly anticipated movie ‘Saindhav.’ Directed by the talented Sailesh Kolanu, this Sankranthi gift has already generated significant buzz through teasers, songs, and trailers. Producer Venkat Boyanapalli, under Niharika Entertainment, ambitiously supports this film, set to release on January 13. In a recent press conference, Victory Venkatesh shared insightful features of the upcoming cinematic venture.

Q: Is ‘Saindhav’ Your 75th Milestone? Any Pressure?

  • A: I don’t sense any pressure. Seventy-five is merely a numerical designation. However, milestones like 50, 75, or 100 in a career are naturally viewed as significant. Personally, I aim to approach them with honesty when the time comes. Each movie is distinctive, demanding dedicated hard work. The journey ahead is extensive, and there’s much more to accomplish.

Q: What Attracted You to ‘Saindhav’s Story?

  • A: The film carries a beautiful daughter sentiment. Unconventional emotional action sequences enrich the storyline. The action unfolds naturally in this fast-paced movie with a unique backdrop. Collaborating with director Sailesh Kolanu has been an exceptional experience.

Q: Working with Children, Thoughts on Baby Ssara’s Performance?

  • A: Love working with children. Baby Ssara has a spark, wonderful performance.

Q: Any Suggestions Given for ‘Saindhav’s Story?

  • A: Sailesh, the director, has crafted an excellent storyline. Upon entering the project, I became an assistant director, engaging in natural conversations. If improvements are needed, I provide feedback. My primary focus, however, remains on the acting aspect.

Q: What Makes ‘Saindhav’ Different?

  • A: Extraordinary climax, highly emotional, well-designed action. Novelty in the storytelling. Movie brings a new experience.

Q: Dancing in Promotions, Similarities to Past Roles?

  • A: Natural response to beats. No similarities between ‘Saindhav’ and ‘Dharmachakram.’

Q: Experience Working with Nawazuddin Siddiqui?

  • A: Great experience. Extraordinary actor. Unique portrayal in ‘Saindhav.’ Each character holds special importance.

Q: ‘Saindhav’ — New Generation Movie Like Hollywood?

  • A: New genre for me. The director’s creative team introduced a fresh idea. ‘Saindhav’ world-building is different, possibly leading to more such stories.

Q: Importance of Music in ‘Saindhav’?

  • A: Excellent music by Santhosh Narayanan. Background music and songs like ‘Wrong Usage’ and ‘Saradale’ are superbly composed.

Q: Career Without Controversies in 75 Films?

  • A: Unknown. Childhood mentality of not making anyone uncomfortable. Maintained it in school and college.

Q: Movie with Nani and Swami Vivekananda’s Project?

  • A: Up for doing it all. Swami Vivekananda’s script at a level, two makers working on it. No plans for a sequel to ‘Seethamma Walkitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ yet.

Q: Next Movie and Sankranti Wishes?

  • A: Two or three stories in consideration. Nothing finalized. Happy Sankranti to all. Wishes for brilliant performances in all four Sankranti movies. Thank you.

Guntur Kaaram – All time record release in Hyderabad city

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram is a day away from its release and the audience all over is massively excited to catch the Superstar on the big screen after almost 2 years. The hype and buzz for the movie are at an all-time high and the advance booking trends all over are a testament to the same.

With everyone wrapped in Guntur Kaaram mania, understandably, the film is now getting a record release in Hyderabad. Despite being a festive release and other movies also a part of the lineup, this Trivikram film is the first choice for a majority of movie lovers.

Guntur Kaaram’s Hyderabad release has surpassed several pan-India biggies like RRR and Salaar, At the time of RRR’s release there were no permissions for extra shows and 1 am shows. In the case of Salaar, while there were permissions and 1 am shows, there was the Dunki factor which had close to 400 shows in Hyderabad city on Salaar opening day. On top of this Hi Nanna, Animal, and Aqua Man were also allocated a decent number of shows.

In case of Guntur Kaaram, there is no competition from older releases and Hanuman is not getting many shows. With this, Guntur Kaaram has all-time record release ever in Hyderabad city. The advance bookings in major booking portals are in the range of 10Cr already and are all set to create a new record in advance bookings by breaking RRR [10.8Cr] in the next few hours.

We might even see Rs12Cr in advance bookings if there is an exceptional jump by the night. A positive talk and favourable word of mouth are all that’s needed for the movie to set up record opening numbers and set the box office on fire.

Songs failed to create much buzz for Sankranthi Films

Songs have failed to create much buzz for Sankranthi Films. It is widely known that four films are competing at the box office this Sankranthi. Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram, Teja Sajja’s Hanuman, Venkatesh’s Saindhav, and Nagarjuna’s Naa Saami Ranga are those four films, and all belong to different genres.

All the films have completed Censor formalities and have locked a crisp runtime. It is also interesting to note that all four movies scheduled for Sankranthi have obtained a U/A Certificate. However, the Songs have failed to create much buzz for Sankranthi Films. 

Excluding Guntur Kaaram, all other films’ songs did not create buzz for the movies. Only Guntur Kaaram songs have clicked to an extent. Saindhav songs are story-based, so they cannot make the required buzz, and those songs will be good while watching the film. 

Nagarjuna has collaborated with MM Keeravani for Naa Saami Ranga after a long gap. However, the combo has failed to create much impact with songs. Only one song, Yetthukelli Povaalanipisthunde, worked decently for the film, and they released the songs very late.

Coming to the Superhero movie, Hanuman’s teaser and trailer have worked for them, but the same cannot be said about the audio. Even Guntur Kaaram’s songs also worked decently, but they failed to work in the range of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.

Hanuman’s marketing strategy is sympathy?

Hanuman’s marketing strategy is sympathy?

This has been a hot topic in the industry circles that Hanuman team right from the beginning has tried to get some sympathy. No doubt the film’s content is good and the trailers, teasers, and posters have worked well. One section of people believe this sympathy allegation while other section believes the concerns of the Hanuman team are justified.

But, no one has forced them to postpone the film as they’re claiming. In fact, during the producer’s meeting over screen sharing which was ignored by Hanuman’s producers, suggestions were made to bring the movie to 11th. It was a request from other producers but the Hanuman team has come to the media and stated everyone is forcing them. They have further alleged that someone even tried to stop the censor.

It’s a fact that some issues will always exist for every movie’s release. However, Hanuman team is trying to highlight some common issues to create a positive buzz for the film with sympathy. Director Prashanth Varma has intentionally triggered many things to get the movie promoted.

Whatever happens, Hanuman managed to gain the much-needed buzz. The strategy whether intentional or not is working for them. The film is all set to open with good numbers and word of mouth will decide the range of the film.
