Story-Byte : 
The quest to rescue princess Sita is coming to an end as Rama and his army of monkeys make their final push for victory against the demon king Ravana of Lanka. In the ensuing battle, Rama defeats and disarms Ravana but magnanimously spares his life. That night, Ravana unleashes his most powerful ally; his brother Mahiravana, a dark and powerful sorcerer who rules over the Underworld.

Mahiravana's shadow casts a blanket of deception over Rama's army and the unseen enemy captures Rama and Lakshmana. Mahiravana intends to kill the two princes at daybreak to fulfill a prophecy that will make him invincible. Can Rama's friend Hanuman save them before it is too late?


Review:
The movie is based on any other folktale where one the day of victory lord Rama refuses to kill Ravana since he was rendered defenseless. Rama says that the war will be continuing the next day. ravana seeing a fast chance and asks his sorcerer brother Mahiravana for the rescue. Mahiravana tricks Hanuman who is guarding the cave that houses Rama and Lakshmana for the night and kidnaps them. This is how Hanuman embarks on a journey to kill Mahiravana and rescue the two. 

The movie seems opening with great promises like great VFX and 3D and untold story of Ramayana which at once seemed to attract a lot of viewers especially the younger ones but your hopes and wanting will go in drudge as the movie fails to serve what it should have served. Definitely, you cannot expect the flexibility level of Hollywood animation movies or compare and this gets worsen had you watched the recent release Incredibles 2. The story-line seems though somewhat promising the effects are nothing but flat. Screenplay in some instances felt amateurish.Still,Hanuman vs Mahiravana is a complete family entertainer movie, it's fun to watch Hanuman for the first time in 3D. Songs felt neutral to me. Neither a delight nor bad.

Though the voice over is something that should be commended and applauded.

kshi-Verdict:
West has set a mark in animation that is hard to touch in Bollywood now. That is the reason when it comes to animation movie we always have a lot of expectation but is never delivered. Anyway expecting that level of animation and story-line or character sketch would be an act of foolery from this movie.
So the final remains: Was the movie Treat for kid?

• First thing to consider is that you should not enter the theater expecting a high end 3D movie, we are still developing in that areas.
• And as far goes for kid(and adult too), they would love their super powerful friend Hanuman this time in a role of savior. A entertaining movie at the end.

Should I watch? 
Though it didn't disappoint me (as it is high time we support this type of movie) it was neither a movie I loved to watch. You should definitely give a try. One time at least.
