The Disney house offers us this unusual film whose target audience is in India. We have the story of Arjuna, the main prince in the Bhagavad Gita and one of the most important figures among the Lord's associates. This film emphasizes the figure of Arjuna, leaving aside valuable elements (such as his cousin Krishna who barely appears). Despite this, the story is faithful and entertaining, consolidating the stories of the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavatam as worthy of being taken to celluloid. For those who want to know more about the great figures of the immense Vedic spiritual tradition, this film is worth seeing.

I like animated movies (and series too for that matter). Have been following the great works from American animation studios like Pixar, Disney, Dreamworks etc, and then all those Japanese studios cranking out stylish animes, I know our Indian animation industry has a lot of ground to cover.

That being said, animation in this movie impressed me. You simply cannot deny the detailed backgrounds and environments that were presented in this movie. They even put in cattle grazing on the fields which disperse when our Pandavas rush in on their horses. That scene made me laugh as well as awe in the thought they put in creating it. The lush forests, the architecture, I was exclaiming at every new environments introduced.

Story-wise, well it could have been better, but again this was a movie and moreover on Arjun and not the whole Mahabharata, so I guess I am OK with the creative liberties taken. The fights, I was very delighted at the use of Kalaripayattu in their choreography, all was great except the one where Arjun went all Bruce Lee.

Well enough said. Enjoy this movie!

Just finished watching it. I loved the animation, the scenery, the music, and the story.

I also loved the fact that they added a choreography from the Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris fight in the last fight.

This was a nice tribute to Bruce Lee and as a Bruce Lee fan, I immediately recognized it and loved it.

Remember, I said it first. ?
