Indianexpress.com’s Raghu Bandi gave the film 3 stars and wrote, “Prashanth Varma has shown with his earlier movies (A!, Kalki and Zombie Reddy) that he has plenty of guts and ambition. Both are in full display in HanuMan as he takes a leaf from the Indian mythology and mixes it with the contemporary superhero genre. Varma fits his large-scale ambition in the small universe of a fictional village and creates an entertaining set of characters to convince with the story.”
