HanuMan stuns the makers of Adipurush Young hero Teja Sajja and the skilled director Prashant Verma's movie, "Hanuman," has not only received blockbuster reports but has also achieved remarkable success despite facing constraints. The film's modest budget, falling between Rs 20 to 25 crores, has proved to be a wise investment, with the movie's output surpassing an impressive one hundred crores. Despite being released in fewer theaters due to the dominance of "Guntur Karam," "Hanuman" has emerged as a blockbuster hit, and breaking even before the weekend is not out of the question.
Netizens are applauding Prashant Verma for his ability to achieve exceptional quality on a relatively low budget, and many feel that his approach should serve as a valuable lesson for filmmakers in Tollywood and Bollywood alike. The success of "Hanuman" is seen as a testament to Verma's skills in optimizing resources and delivering a compelling cinematic experience.
The impact of "Hanuman" has extended beyond the Telugu film industry, with Bollywood director Om Raut feeling the heat from netizens. Comparisons have been drawn between "Hanuman" and Om Raut's "Adipurush," with criticisms aimed at the latter's alleged use of subpar VFX despite a staggering budget of Rs. 600 crores. Netizens are highlighting Prashant Verma's ability to create a cinematic marvel with a fraction of the budget, emphasizing that quality filmmaking does not always necessitate exorbitant expenditures.
The criticism towards Om Raut is further fueled by the underwhelming performance of "Adipurush" at the box office, failing to collect the expected Rs. 400 crores despite its massive budget. The film's previous criticism for its VFX quality and dialogue delivery resurfaces as netizens draw parallels with the success of "Hanuman."
In the wake of "Hanuman" becoming a hit, Om Raut's reputation has taken a hit, and trolling and memes are circulating, bringing "Adipurush" back into public discourse. The success of "Hanuman" not only underscores Prashant Verma's filmmaking prowess but also sparks discussions about budget optimization and the expectations from big-budget films in the industry.
