Virender Sehwag praises ‘Hanuman Ansh’ movie.

Almost a month after its release, Hanuman Ansh has become a talking point. The film has earned over Rs 50 crore in India as of now and is getting an overwhelming response from the audience. Recently, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag also watched the film and shared an emotional review. He called the Vishal Chaturvedi’s directorial a must watch and shared his experiences after reading about Neem Karoli Baba’s life.

“Some experiences, some people are such that there are not enough words to describe them… how so much you try to tell about them, you cannot do justice. Some of my closest friends are devotees of Neem Karoli Baba. Around 10 years ago, one of my friends had told me about him. Since then I have been hearing and reading about him. I have had an immense attraction towards Maharaj ji- his personality, his devotion, and his blessings have transformed lives. It show what he was, one who could make a person meet their true selves,” Sehwag said in Hindi.

“What is so unbelievable that his blessings, even after his demise 52 years ago, have remained in the lives of his devotees. A few days ago I saw the film Hanuman Ansh, which is based on his life. It is impossible to draw out his life in one film. It is made very beautifully, and is well written. I think this film is a beautiful tribute to Maharaj ji. There was one scene in particular which touched me, in which Maharaj ji is surrounded by snakes. One of his devotees tells him that he is as innocent as Shiv, and he replies, ‘It is you who is innocent. The eyes see what is in our hearts.’ That is perhaps what he wanted to say to all of us. Such saints are born in rare occasions in the history of our nation. It is impossible to understand him but to get one glimpse of him is possible. Hanuman Ansh presents that one glimpse very well. If you know him, then watch the film… and if you haven’t heard of him, then watch it for sure,” he added.

Hanuman Ansh’s Box Office Journey

Hanuman Ansh started slow at the box office after its release. The film reportedly opened with around Rs 10 lakh on its first day. However, instead of fading after a weak opening, the film gradually picked up through positive word of mouth.

Made on a reported budget of around Rs 2 crore, the film crossed the Rs 40 crore mark in India within 24 days and has subsequently gone past Rs 50 crore, making it one of the year’s most unexpected sleeper hits.

Several celebrities including Kangana Ranaut and Madhur Bhandarkar have also praised the film.
