Director Prasanth Varma’s latest film, “HanuMan,” proves to be an engaging blend of drama, emotions, VFX, and mythology, offering a compelling cinematic experience. The narrative, marked by goosebump-inducing moments, builds towards an extraordinary finale that captivates audiences. Teja Sajja’s commendable performance anchors the storyline, supported by impactful portrayals from Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Vinay Rai, and a stellar turn by Samuthirakani. While Vennela Kishore delivers a first-rate performance, the desire for more screen time is palpable.
The film’s VFX elements tastefully enhance the narrative, creating a visually captivating experience without overshadowing the story. Well-executed dubbing further elevates the performances. Despite its strengths, “HanuMan” grapples with a notable hiccup – a lengthy runtime that affects pacing, particularly in the first half. A more concise edit could have heightened the film’s impact. Set for release on January 12, 2024, coinciding with Sankranti, “HanuMan” promises an immersive cinematic journey.
