CM Dhami announced that the movie will be declared “tax-free” in the state, as the film is deeply connected to Uttarakhand’s Kainchi Dham While talking to the media after the screening.

The film’s synopsis positions “Baba as a saint who remains untouched by power, politics, ownership and praise, while his simple message becomes the spiritual centre of the story,” it added. Film Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh has described the film as “the biggest success story of 2026”. The meeting comes at a time when ‘Hanuman Ansh’ has been enjoying widespread praise on the internet, from the audience and celebrities alike.
