Kale Hanuman Ji

By Sahil Chawla with 6.6

documentary · Short Films · hindi

The documentary film is an engagement with the figure of Hanuman in Hinduism. It follows the preparation and celebration of a specific group of believers dedicated entirely to the god. As they endeavour towards making the worship of Hanuman possible for the devotees, the narrative portrays their efforts towards the achievement of the same.

Visually, the film is very well realised and achieved with sophisticated camerawork and design. It succeeds in bringing to life a celebration that rings loud and clear in the hearts of innumerable Indians. From ensuring that the costumes are in order to paying meticulous attention to the details of the makeup, the documentary captures the dedication of the 'vanar sena' (the monkey army associated with Hanuman) to the occasion. The film, thus, brings to life the devotion of countless people in a visual treat for everyone to experience and participate in.
