Lord Hanuman, the epitome of strength, courage, and devotion, has long been a powerful element in Telugu cinema. His imagery and the virtues he embodies have been integrated with stories as different as a commercial socio-fantasy and a modern-day David Vs. Goliath clash subject like Prasant Varma’s HanuMan. In this section, TFN takes a look at some of the best scenes/stretches/moments involving the Hindu God.
Classics like Chiranjeevi‘s Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari wove in elements of divine strength, echoing Hanuman’s might. The song Jai Chiranjeeva mixed devotional beats with the socio-fantasy subject effectively.
Kodi Ramakrishna’s Devullu also effectively showcased the benevolent power of deities, including Hanuman. The segment where Rajendra Prasad’s Hanuman helps out the beleaguered kids at the centre of the story was loved by the audience.
While not centered solely on Hanuman, films like Jr. NTR and Tamannaah’s Oosaravelli have also made musical and impactful references to his attributes. The episode where the female lead cries out for help in the presence of a Hanuman statue was a standout moment in the movie.
Nithiin’s Sri Anjaneyam brought Hanuman’s story to the forefront. Arjun Sarja’s mind-blowing portrayal of the God was worthy of applause. Incidentally, Arjun is a devotee of Hanuman in real life and has built a Hanuman temple in Chennai.
The stupendous success of HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, further underscores the enduring appeal of stories rooted in strength and heroism, directly invoking the Lord’s name. The film has cemented the place of the PVCU (Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe).
Upcoming ventures like Jai Hanuman (a PVCU movie starring Rishabh Shetty) and Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara (rumouredly) will also make use of the Hanuman symbolism in varying degrees.
