Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tabu was already a massive Bollywood star when she did this French-Indian co-production, basically slumming it for international exposure.
The film blends Hindu mythology (Hanuman is the divine monkey god) with Western adventure tropes, creating a weird but earnest cultural crossover that only the 90s could produce.
