Background
Hanuman Ansh did not have an easy run initially. After the release of the film, the arrival of movies such as Batwara 1947 and Awarapan 2 saw its screen count fall to just 25.
However, after Batwara 1947 failed to perform as expected, the number of screens for Hanuman Ansh gradually started increasing.
The audience response also grew, with crowds thronging theatres to watch the film.
About Hanuman Ansh
Written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Hanuman Ansh is a retelling of the life of Uttarakhand’s revered saint Baba Neem Karoli, whose real name was Lakshman Narayan Sharma.
The film, made on a budget of Rs 1.75 crore, follows a grieving young Lakshmi Narayan, who embarks on a spiritual journey in search of God after the death of his mother.
As he travels across North India seeking answers to life, death and human suffering, he eventually transforms into the revered saint Neem Karoli Baba, whose teachings of love, service and compassion touched countless lives.
The film stars Shobhinaw Satya in the lead role alongside Vihaan Shedge, Chandan K Anand, Purnima Tiwari, Anil Rastogi, Gulshan Pandey and Bhagvandas Patel.
