More about Hanuman Ansh

Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Hanuman Ansh follows Lakshmi Narayan, a young boy who leaves home after a personal loss and begins a spiritual journey in search of God. His years of wandering, meditation and service eventually led to his transformation into Neem Karoli Baba.

The film is inspired by Chaturvedi's book Divine Detour: That Changed My Life and is planned as the first instalment of a trilogy.

Made on a reported budget of around Rs 2 crore, Hanuman Ansh has emerged as a major box-office success, grossing more than Rs 410 crore worldwide. Its success has also helped songs from the film reach audiences well beyond the film's theatrical run, with Parvati now becoming a hit in its own right.
