Hanuman (2005) User Reviews

Story of Hanuman (Hindu Monkey God)

[estud · 8/10 · 4 December 2005]

Hanuman presents the first serious and truly professional Indian effort at animated movie making. Expecting Disney like finesse would be unjust for a beginner but the makers of Hanuman did an awesome job. One would get the glimpses of Disney's Lion king and Tarzan here and there in the style of animation.

The story is something which every Indian kid grows up with, its the story of monkey God Hanuman, son of God of wind Varun and Anjani, he is an incarnation of Lord Shiva. The narration assumes the viewers knowledge of the Hindu epic Ramayana, so for those who have not heard of Ramayana would find certain parts of the movie indecipherable.

Its a movie which kids are going to love and adults appreciate. Highly recommended for a full family fun. Highs: 1. Reasonably good quality animation. 2. Great music. 3. Does full justice to the theme. 4. Young Hanuman is super cute. Lows: 1. Presumes viewers' knowledge of the epic Ramayana. 2. Some more detail in the story telling would have been appreciated.

India's first ever animated

[iamreplying · 7/10 · 24 November 2005]

In Hindu mythology, Ramayan is the most popular story ever told. And when it comes to Ramayan, then its not just Ram, Laxman, Sita and Ravan. There is also one more important character in the story - HANUMAN.

Hanuman - who leaped for the sun thinking it to be a was a sweet fruit Hanuman - who was blessed by the GODS with supernatural strength Hanuman - who flew across mountains and leaps across the oceans Hanuman - who is the mighty warrior, the destroyer of the wicked

Since the silent movies era, there have been number of flicks made on the Ramayan and its characters but never before has there been a full fledged animation movie around the story.

The highlight of the movie is that it is India's first ever animated movie based on Hanuman's life and takes the viewer through Hanuman's birth till the great victory over Lanka. The movie talks about number of extraordinary feats that he displayed since his childhood through 100 minutes of world class animation. The movie boasts of 40 characters and 200,000 individual images that resulted in the movie Hanuman, which is directed by V.G.Samant and has Mukesh Khanna providing the voice-over for Hanuman.

Best superhero movies in recent time in india

[gautamkumar-29275 · 9/10 · 12 January 2024]

HanuMan is a delightful addition to the superhero genre. It's a fun, heartwarming, and visually stunning film that will leave you cheering for the hero. The film has a lot going for it - a great cast, an engaging story, and some truly impressive special effects.

Teja Sajja is excellent as Hanumanthu. He brings a lot of charm and vulnerability to the role, and he's believable as both an ordinary guy and a superhero. The supporting cast is also strong, with Amritha Aiyer, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Raj Deepak Shetty all giving memorable performances.

Prasanth Varma's direction is assured, and he does a great job of balancing the film's lighter and darker moments. The action sequences are well-choreographed and exciting, and the special effects are top-notch.

Overall, HanuMan is a great superhero film that is sure to please audiences of all ages. It's a fun, heartwarming, and visually stunning film that will leave you cheering for the hero.

Here are some of the things that I liked best about HanuMan: The cast is excellent. Teja Sajja is perfect as Hanumanthu, and the supporting cast is also strong.

The story is engaging and heartwarming. It's a classic superhero origin story, but it's told in a fresh and exciting way.

The special effects are top-notch. The action sequences are well-choreographed and exciting, and the visual effects are stunning.

Here are some of the things that I didn't like about HanuMan: The film can be a bit slow at times. The first half of the film takes a while to get going, and the pacing can be a bit uneven throughout.

The villain is underdeveloped. He's not particularly menacing or threatening, and his motivations are never really clear.

Overall, I thought HanuMan was a great superhero film. It's a fun, heartwarming, and visually stunning film that will leave you cheering for the hero. I highly recommend it to fans of the genre.

This is the ONE movie a 90s kid and early 00s kids have a SPECIAL place in their heart.

[jaimishra · 10/10 · 4 December 2019]

This is the best portrayal of Bhagwan Hanuman ever.

Not even the live action portrayals ever this good.

First the Japanese Anime Movie Ramayana and then this movie made Hanuman take special place in Indian kids' heart.

It teaches kids morality, kindness, righteousness, goodness and bhakti.

Don't think about other people or critics' reviews or ratings. Other reviews are given in 2005 and by old people. Only a person who was a kid at that time can give true review.

This movie deserves 10/10. Couldn't have been 9/10 just because of animation comparison to other international animated movies but hey man, it's India first of all where animation industry has not even came out of womb and secondly it was 2005, approx 15 years ago.

So this movie clearly deserves 10/10.

I loved it.

:)

Awesome animation atleast better than other Indian cartoons now a days

Decent

[vmanson-49017 · 6/10 · 15 April 2019]

Calling this movie decent is a stretch of the word. The direction is choppy. The animation and editing is below par. The saving grace is that its based on a popular myth and the story is interesting.

Epic Animated Hindu Epic

[BabelAlexandria · 8/10 · 5 March 2022]

The kiddos and I had been looking for South Asian animation, and I happily stumbled upon this DVD. The animation has a bit of an 80s feel to it, but in a good way. It tells the story of the playful monkey (demi-)god Hanuman, a divine incarnation of Shiva (equal parts Christ and Hercules) who loses his way and has to find himself through service to Ram, and, more generally, the battle against the demons who threaten to take over the earth (but who present mostly as humans). The creators did not shy away with telling this epic story (from the Ramayana, I think) in all its paradox and tradition, and the result is a fascinating one, with a mix of light humor, fantasy, and battle (usually not too gruesome) which will appeal to many children.

Worst movie.

[pdheer-87158 · 1/10 · 14 January 2024]

The worst ever movie. It's a torture watching this movie. Don't waste your time and money over this movie. Hopeless hero, hopeless heroine, hopeless comedy. Infact all the characters are hopeless. There is no story. Even cartoon movies are much much better than this movie. Superhero character is badly played. Not even a single person knows how to act. Overacting everywhere.

Please do not watch, I am not telling lie.

Great movie pan world movie

[kiran_gntr · 10/10 · 12 January 2024]

Great movie must watch, they said it's a small movie but you get feel of Bahubali scale when it comes to VFX ... it's going pan word hit movie without any doubt .. Nice movie, the movie is full of devotional with awesome action and realistic graphics in low budget. Bharatiya cinema at its best. Great what they accomplished with limited budget that too a concept film like Hanuman. Jai Bajrang Bali.
