Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Kirpianuscus remarkable animation. seductive story. portrait of an old fashion hero. discover of India in beautiful manner. a film who impress for beauty and for the courage to propose a simple and convincing pledge for basic tradition values. and this is the axis of the adventure of Arjun to define to himself not exactly as warrior but as himself. the poetry of images, the ethic virtues who defines a man, against different challenges are the pillars of an impeccable construction. a film for entire family. and good support for read Mahabharata for discover, behind artistic innovations, the real story of a magnificent character.
Vasanth Naidu *** This review may contain spoilers *** What put me off in this movie was the deviation of the movie's story from the actual epic. I simply failed to understand how the Director (Arnab Chaudhuri) & Writers ( Rajesh Devraj & R.D. Tailang) imagined that they could walk away with multiple deviations from the actual epic. I am pretty sure this movie was not intended for the Indian audience. I grew up watching Mahabharat on TV & read through agyaat vaas during my schooling - which are purely based on the original scriptures. Most recently I read through the work of Devdutt Pattanaik - "Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata" - though its a retelling of the original story, Devdutt sticks to the main plot & retells of what he think could have happened.But our story here is mile miles away from the epic story. My Apologies for the spoiler, but that's the fact.Pro's: 1) Great animation work. 2) Good sound track. 3) Richness of colors & textures used while depicting Indraprastha.Con's: 1) Story line is far away from the actual epic at many many points. 2) Story narration.
someoneanyone0 I totally loved the animation in the movie.Even though the storyline was not unknown but the way it was presented was really impressive.The highlight of the movie was the songs Karam ki Lalkar stands out.Dialogues were very good.Director Arnab Chaudhari has done a great work and am looking forward for the sequel.This movie could used as a milestone in Indian animation movies. What i did not like about the movie was that Karna was shown in a negative shade.Some of the animation seem to be lifted or you may say inspired from Avatar.The climax was interesting was an apt end.On the whole Arjun the warrior prince is an incredible effort.i will request all viewers to go and see it.
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.
