Spoilers ahead
Hanuman, Mukesh Khanna guides this animated epic as it traces the life of the divine hero from his very birth. Born to Anjani, a female apsara turned vanara, and Kesari, with the blessings of Vayu, the Wind God, Hanuman is revealed as the 11th Rudra incarnation of Shiva, endowed with supreme intelligence, immense strength, and a cascade of extraordinary powers. As a baby, his boundless curiosity leads him to tease the sages who dwell in the nearby forest, a mischief that foreshadows the extraordinary feats to come. When hunger strikes, he even leaps toward the sun, mistaking it for a ripe fruit, a moment that underscores both his importance and his playful spirit.
