Return of Hanuman - movie review
The film begins with a disclaimer stating that Return of Hanuman is not a sequel to any film made before. This animated film is superb and technically dazzling.

Then it shows why man himself is the biggest evil or the impact of pollution leading to global crisis. There is a battle between Gods and the devils. Lord Hanuman requests Narad Muni to convince Lord Brahma to send him to earth. While Lord Brahma is most apprehensive, he eventually takes a softer line, but Lord Hanuman is made to sign a contract, which has several do's and don'ts Return of Hanuman, movie review...
