The only lady who can make his heart melt like jelly is Girija Oak (Vasanti). The light of divine will continues to find Hanmiya blessed with magical power that he cannot use more than 11 times. Reason, the eleven mystic powers of him are related to the eleven temples of Hanuman correctly depicted in a song which is also an interesting part of this movie.

In a nutshell, Huppa Huiyya makes the audience realize that things work in our life when we listen to our inner voice. What if we are blessed with mystical powers in real life? Would one use those powers for a social cause like Hanmiya or harness them for our own selfish motives? The film gives a good symbolic message about faith, hope and love. Marathi film lovers would enjoy the combination of fantastic comedy that involves both action and romance. It just shows that faith relates to our mind as much as exercise relates to our body.
