Hindi · Bollywood · Released 07 Aug 2026
ReviewHub score: 7.4/10 · Verdict: Must Watch — based on 12 YouTube reviews (9 positive, 3 mixed, 0 negative).
A spiritual drama confident enough to skip the VFX budget almost entirely - and mostly gets away with it.
Story
Hanuman Ansh is a Hindi-language movie starring Shobhinaw Satyaa and Vihaan Shedge in leading roles. It is a spiritual drama movie, written & directed by Vishal Chaturvedi
What works
- Shobhinav Satya's performance as Baba is widely praised as flawless
- Grounded, VFX-light approach suits the spiritual subject matter
- The Hanuman Chalisa sequence and devotional music are genuine highlights
- Well-researched, low-budget craft that exceeds expectations
What doesn't
- Some CGI/VFX effects feel weak
- A few mid-film stretches drag or tip into melodrama
- No action or spectacle, which won't suit typical Bollywood-entertainer expectations
What each reviewer said
- Screenwala (Hindi) — Good Watch, 8/10
“Theatres are running full despite zero promotion, and Shobhinav Satya's performance as Baba is flawless — full marks. The music, especially the climax song, genuinely stays with you. Bottom line: a quiet word-of-mouth hit worth catching.” Watch the review on YouTube - सत्य सनातन Satya Sanatan (Hindi) — Good Watch, 8/10
“Deliberately avoids VFX spectacle for a simple, grounded portrayal that still holds your attention scene to scene, especially for viewers on a spiritual path. Bottom line: a sincere, unhurried biopic worth watching with intent.” Watch the review on YouTube - Hanuman Ansh (Hindi) — Must Watch, 9/10
“The Hanuman Chalisa scene alone is goosebump-worthy, and the background music makes you feel part of that era. Bottom line: a simple, straightforward film that gives far more than expected.” Watch the review on YouTube - Suraj Kumar (Hindi) — Must Watch, 9/10
“Reminds the reviewer of the beloved Gujarati hit 'Lalo' — the devotion never feels inserted for effect, and a scene about a TB patient's plea to Baba genuinely lands. Bottom line: a must-see the reviewer is already planning to revisit for part two.” Watch the review on YouTube - Reviewwala (Hindi) — Good Watch, 7/10
“A rare Bollywood take on the 'ordinary person gains a god's power' premise usually reserved for South Indian cinema, led by an unknown cast. Bottom line: a fun, novel watch if you enjoy South-style films.” Watch the review on YouTube - सत्य सनातन Satya Sanatan (Hindi) — Good Watch, 7/10
“The trailer notably skips artificial spectacle for a restrained, atmospheric tone that matches its subject — the same simplicity that reportedly drew Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs to Neem Karoli Baba himself. Bottom line: promising, dignified anticipation for the film.” Watch the review on YouTube - Movie Mandal by Sanjay (Hindi) — Good Watch, 7/10
“Expected a rough, low-budget effort given the small scale, but the film's craft on Neem Karoli Baba's story and miracles genuinely surprised the reviewer. Bottom line: better than its budget would suggest.” Watch the review on YouTube - MOHIT NARWARIYA (Hindi) — One-Time Watch, 6/10
“A brief dramatized clip built around a roadside encounter with Baba, played mostly for its devotional punchline. Bottom line: a fun, thin teaser rather than a full review.” Watch the review on YouTube - Buzzzooka Showtimes (Hindi) — One-Time Watch, 6/10
“Openly not a typical Bollywood entertainer — no action, no spectacle, just faith and the life of Neem Karoli Baba. Bottom line: worth it if you're genuinely curious about the subject, skippable otherwise.” Watch the review on YouTube - City Lights Hindi (Hindi) — Good Watch, 7.5/10
“Real jungle locations, period-accurate costumes, and Shobhinav Satya's performance stand out, though the AI/CGI effects and some repeated reaction shots feel weak. Bottom line: a good, research-backed biopic worth the research it inspires.” Watch the review on YouTube - All in One by Digvijay Bonawate (Hindi) — One-Time Watch, 6/10
“Strong character writing for an unusual, non-Bollywood-typical subject, but some scenes tip into overly dramatic, serial-like territory, especially in the second half. Bottom line: a one-time watch — the reviewer's own score, 3/5.” Watch the review on YouTube - Zee News (Hindi) — Good Watch, 8/10
“Clearly well-researched, with no big stars needed to make Baba's story land — though the music and some heavy mid-film stretches are the weak points. Bottom line: worth watching once, the reviewer's own score, 4/5.” Watch the review on YouTube
