Mumbai, INDIA & Dubai, UAE- The devotional film Hanuman Ansh is gaining remarkable momentum across India, drawing audiences with its powerful spiritual theme and an emotional journey inspired by the life and teachings associated with the revered Neem Karoli Baba. Released across India on August 7, 2026, the Hindi film is emerging as a strong talking point among devotees and cinema audiences who are looking for stories rooted in faith, humanity and inner awakening.
Directed, written and co produced by Vishal Chaturvedi, Hanuman Ansh tells the story of young Lakshminarayan and his journey in search of answers about life, death and human suffering. As he travels across North India and encounters saints, devotees and ordinary people, his spiritual journey gradually leads to the transformation that would eventually give rise to the name Neem Karoli Baba. The Central Board of Film Certification has certified the 150 minute film with a U certificate.
For millions of Hindus and followers of Sanatan Dharma around the world, Hanuman Ansh is more than just a film. Its spiritual connection to Neem Karoli Baba, revered by many as a great devotee of Lord Hanuman, touches deeply held values of faith, devotion, service, compassion and the remembrance of Lord Ram. These timeless principles remain close to the hearts of the global Hindu Sanatani community, making the film’s message emotionally and spiritually meaningful to audiences far beyond India.
The film has been produced by Vishal Chaturvedi, Anupriya Nagar, Namrata G Singh and Ragini Sona, with Piyush Thakur serving as Executive Producer. It has been made under the banner of Swambhu Media Network. Director Vishal Chaturvedi has said that the story had remained with him for many years and that extensive research went into bringing this spiritual journey to the screen.
The cast is led by Shobhinaw Satyaa, who portrays Neem Karoli Baba, alongside Vihaan Shedge, Chandan Anand, Purnima Tiwari, Anil Rastogi and Gulshan Pandey. The film has also brought together an experienced creative team, including Shankh Rajadhyaksha as editor and Pankaj Vashisht as VFX supervisor.
What appears to be helping Hanuman Ansh connect with audiences is its central message of love, service and devotion. The film’s story moves beyond conventional commercial entertainment and focuses on a spiritual search that ultimately highlights humanity as a path to the divine. According to the film’s CBFC synopsis, the young protagonist discovers his true path through loving people, feeding people and chanting the name of Ram.
Audience response has also been notably enthusiastic. As of the latest publicly available figures, BookMyShow shows a very strong audience rating for the film, with viewers frequently describing it through words such as inspiring, awesome story, super direction and great acting.
With its devotional appeal, emotionally driven storytelling and a subject connected to one of India’s most widely revered spiritual figures, Hanuman Ansh is building momentum as a film that seeks to touch audiences beyond the cinema hall.
