Hanuman Ansh is about the unbelievable life story of Shri Neeb Karori Baba. The film is like the Laalo of Bollywood. It hardly got any audience for the first 11 days, but then it miraculously picked up and how. The movie begins on a spectacular and dramatic note, setting the mood. The childhood portion is very interesting. It is made on a small budget and the makers have cut corners here and there. At some places, cheap AI is also used. However, the makers have overall done a fine job ensuring the product looks A-grade and classy. On the flipside, the execution could have been better. Also, the second half is not as impactful as the narrative gets a bit repetitive. Shobhinaw Satyaa is a great find and does a fabulous job as the leading actor. Special mention should also go to Vihaan Shedge as the young Laxmi. Bhagvandas Patel (Gopal) have crucial roles and deliver lovely performances. Chandan K Anand (Dr Ram Nandan Bhosale) and Nikhil Dubey (Sudhir) are hardly there and yet, leave a huge mark. Anil Rastogi (Mahant) comes next. Purnima Tiwari (Babaji's wife), Neha Paranjpe (Parvati), Gautam Tripathi (Parvati's husband, Radheshyam), Manish Chaudhary (Babaji's father), Alex Danilov (Sir Francis), Rajiv Mishra (Daroga Nasir Ali) and others also do fairly well. All in all, Hanuman Ansh is worth watching for its subject and to get acquainted with the life and times of Shri Neeb Karori Baba.
