Return of Hanuman (Sony Max, Sunday, 12 noon)While “Hanuman” was a pure mythological film, “Return of Hanuman” merges mythology with the present day world. In this film, there’s Gabbar Singh, plus voice-over clones of Shah Rukh Khan, Sanjeev Kumar and Raj Kumar. The film begins with the battle between the gods and rakshas. The focus shifts to a small kid, Minku, in a village in present-day India, who’s ridiculed by friends. Lord Hanuman requests Narad Muni to convince Lord Brahma to send him to earth. Lord Brahma agrees, but Lord Hanuman is made to sign a contract, which has several dos and don’ts. If you’re a kid, or have a kid hidden in you, this one’s for you.
