==Plot==
Krishna ([[Arjun Sarja|Arjun]]) and Dasu ([[Jagapati Babu]]) are orphans and are close friends since childhood. Their motto in life is to win over the people and market by brute force methods. They start KD & Co. together and make a fortune. Dasu has a younger sister Devi ([[Vijayalakshmi (Kannada actress)|Vijayalakshmi]]). Krishna too treats her as his own sister. Three of them live together and own a fortune earned at Hanuman Junction. Krishna has a childhood sweetheart Meenakshi ([[Sneha (actress)|Sneha]]).

Sathru ([[Venu Thottempudi]]) joins KD & Co. as a manager. He has a flashback. He loved Devi back in college. But she expressed her helplessness by telling him that she will marry the guy who is recommended by her brothers. Sathru is on a mission to win over the brothers to marry Devi. KD & Co. organizes a cultural show in which Sangeeta ([[Laya (actress)|Laya]]) participates as a singer. The foolishness of KD & Co. makes Sangeeta stay for four extra in Hanuman Junction, which lands her in a soup. When Sangeeta attempts suicide, Dasu and Krishna rescue her and bring her to their house.

Now Sathru and Devi decide to get a suitable girl each for Krishna and Dasu so that they will give a green signal to the marriage of Sathru and Devi. From here onwards, the comedy of errors starts. The relationships among the pairs alter. If you want to know how a serious mass film turns into a comedy flick with Venu excelling as a comedy star, you've got to watch Hanuman Junction on the silver screen.

== Reception ==
''[[Sify]]'' rated the film 3/5 and called the film a "clean comedy." On performances, the reviewer wrote, "Venu as Sathru proves that he is excellent in comedy. Arjun as Krishna is perfect, but Jagapathi as Dasu could have been better."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hanuman Junction|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/hanuman-junction-review-telugu-pclunAfjjejfi.html|access-date=2021-01-14|website=Sify|language=en}}</ref> ''[[Idlebrain.com]]'' rated the film 3.25 and stated: "The story and relationships in this film are quite complex. But the whole credit should go to the debutant director Raja to narrate a story in such a way that all the viewers understand the complex and randomly changing relationships clearly."<ref>{{cite web|date=21 December 2001|title=Telugu Cinema – Review – Hanuman Junction – Jagapathi Babu, Arjun, Venu, Laya, Sneha & Vijaya Lakshmi – Raja – Editor Mohan|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-hanumanjunction.html|accessdate=30 July 2012|publisher=Idlebrain.com}}</ref>
