Telugu film ‘HanuMan’ , starring Teja Sajja as hero, garnered the attention of moviegoers beyond Tollywood because it is based on the popular Hindu mythological character of Hanuman, a revered deity of lord Rama.
Adding further to the hype are the spellbinding visuals in the teasers and the trailers which set the tone for a grand opening across territories although it was touted as a box office dark horse during the overcrowded Sankranti season in Tollywood.
Overcoming many hurdles on its way to securing an adequate number of screens, HanuMan secured unanimous reports from paid premieres across the country, a gutsy move that paid off well.
The spectacular visuals with eye-popping graphics and arresting screenplay turned out to be the unique selling points for HanuMan. The devotional touch to the superhero story is what makes it a standout film.
Many notable critics from Bollywood are going gaga over Prashanth Varma’s stunning execution of every frame even though the film was made on a shoestring budget.
Prashanth’s flawless narration and the way he mounted the action episodes on a grand scale and executed them with impressive flair and dexterity made him hog the limelight across the country.
Every movie critic and moviegoer is astonished by the quality of every craft in HanuMan despite its modest budget. All credit is being lavished on Prashanth Varma for his ambitious vision and the hard work he did to bring it into reality onscreen.
Prashanth Varma has now become a talking point across the country and he is likely to be the next big thing from Tollywood which has introduced many pan-India directors in the last few years.
HanuMan is likely to have a strong run in all territories as the word of mouth is highly encouraging. It’s performance in North India will be eagerly watched by the trade circles because of the mythological touch.
