Cinema VinesAfter a quiet debut, Vishal Chaturvedi’s debut feature “Hanuman Ansh” has surged into the spotlight, drawing praise from high‑profile Bollywood stars and a growing box‑office haul. The film, released in theatres last month, follows the life of spiritual guru Neem Karoli Baba and has already racked up an India net collection of ₹132.13 crore in just 32 days, according to trade source Sacnilk.
Bollywood icon Varun Dhawan was among the first to champion the movie, posting on Instagram that he had watched it with his mother and urging fans to experience the film in a theatre. “Please go to the theatre and watch Hanuman Ansh. I just went with my mom, and it was an amazing experience,” he wrote, adding that the film was “something divine.” He also praised lead actor Shobhinaw Satyaa ji and director Vishal for their work.
Preity Zinta followed suit, sharing a series of Instagram Stories from the cinema. In one post she captioned a photo with “Sita Ram” and “Wow,” while another urged followers not to miss the movie, stating, “Don’t miss it folks.” Her support adds to a growing list of celebrity endorsements that have helped the film gain traction.
Director Vishal Chaturvedi, who has spoken about the challenges of making the film, noted that many industry peers did not offer assistance during production. In a recent podcast with Raunac, he mentioned that after the film’s success, several people called to congratulate him, including Madhur Bhandarkar, whom he had not sought help from. He chose not to name others, preferring to keep the focus on the film’s achievements.
With a steady rise at the box office and a chorus of celebrity praise, “Hanuman Ansh” is quickly becoming one of the most talked‑about releases of the year. Fans and cinema-goers are encouraged to head to their nearest theatres to witness the spiritual drama that has captured the attention of both audiences and industry veterans alike.
