prashanthsharma One word.. Excellent !! Its by far the best Hindi/ Indian animated movie ever. The story, in-spite of the deviations from popular mythology keep the viewer engaged.Dialogues are very well written. The lack of no name voice overs is actually a good thing. I wish they would take the Amar chitra katha series as inspiration and make a ton of more films like this. Its time to bring animated movies from India into the 21st century. I hope this team makes movies on other stories from the Mahabharata and gives it the same treatment. It would be even more awesome if they would release the movie with more regional language sound tracks and international ones to introduce the rest of the world to Indian mythology

rigoletto339 I was moved to see is because I know a bit about the Mahabarata - we saw the Indian TV version many years ago (it ran weekly, for quite a few months).The first surprise was the intermission, after only an hour!I don't know how involved the Disney company was in it. The character animation reminds me a bit of Disney's "Pocahontas", but the overall animation is unsurpassed. In one or two places, actual scenery is combined with the animation - but it is so well done you have to look for it. I think someone would enjoy this movie even if he didn't know the Mahabarata - but it certainly helps. The story glosses over some important details: why is blind King Dhritarashtra's wife blindfolded? Who is this Krishna fellow? And why is Arjuna disguised as a woman?There are at least two scenes that I remember from from the epic that are in the movie: one when Arjuna is learning archery from Bhishma [?], and sees only the eye of the bird in the tree (now we know he's going to be a great archer); the other when Yudhishthira loses his shirt in a dice game, run by the treacherous Shakuni. There may be others.The movie is a slice of the Mahabarata: it's Arjuna's story, how he grows into a true prince despite the best (=worst) efforts of the Kuru.Even if the story on the screen is hard to follow, the animation is superb. I have not seen better, even from Miyazaki. This is one movie I could see again.

showmyst I was really looking forward to movie and I must say I enjoyed the movie. But, the end of this movie - the battle of Viraat was really really poorly done. A man, standing alone in front of mighty army of hastinapur is no joke. Not just that, he WON that battle. You guys didn't show anything of that! Wow, simply arjun outperforming duryodhan - thats not what actually happened. Alone, single handedly he defeated ENTIRE hastinapur army with the devine weapons. If that was shown, wow, this would have created that mighty experience of this bravest warrior in front of our eyes. Quality of animation, story narration etc. was so powerful.. yet the writer somehow didn't understood glory of this. In my opinion, this is even better than actual mahabharat war. Because Arjun was ALONE here. Sigh. An opportunity wasted.

mukund-matta I loved the movie!! No doubt it deviates quite a lot from the epic, but I being in the animation industry, can clearly understand the animations are not ordinary, as pointed out by many. People who have absolutely no knowledge about animation, can please stay away from writing negative feedback for the movie.It was 3D in 2D animation, where the movie is released in 2D, but the background and contrast characters have a 3D feeling!! People who haven't noticed this will have a good time noticing it.If there's a sequel then I will surely look forward to this movie. But yeah, people who do not like darker themes in the movie, wherein the hero suffers but then rises, may stay away!! Because this is not exactly pertaining to the epic, but it's surely shown in a good way.!!
