He wrote, "Witnessed pure cinematic magic watching #HanumanAnsh in the theatre. The audience was completely glued to the screen! @filmervishal's direction is wonderfully honest and tender, while actor Shobhinav Satya's portrayal of Neem Karoli Baba is completely natural and flawless."
He added, "This small-budget film with a non-star cast is a crucial case study for the entire Indian film industry. It proves that true conviction and powerful storytelling always triumph over big-budget films at the box office."
