Plot

The movie revolves around the same mythological Mahabharat, a dynastic conflict for the Hastinapur throne. Two young boys appeared at the beginning of the film. They are over a fight for a gold coin outside the Gateway of India. Then, an eagle enters and proceeds to give a moral lesson on why two boys should not be fighting for a gold coin. The eagle narrates the story of the Mahabharat to the boys. The movie continues about the Kurukshetra War between the Kauravas and Pandavas.

Star Performance

The principal appearances and voices were given by Amitabh Bachchan to Bheeshma, Sunny Deol to Bheem, Ajay Devgn to Arjun, Vidya Balan to Draupadi, and Anil Kapoor to Karna added strength to this movie.

Analysis

The director, Amaan F Khan hasn't altered the epic storyline. Draupadi's harsh remarks also have profound impacts. The glorious aspect of this movie is the creators of the animation made an extreme effort to get the facial appearances and similarities to highlight the actors who dubbed their respective roles. The captivating narrative and the fine animation are a big plus for this movie. But Draupadi's scenes are devastatingly insufficient in terms of graphics and animation. The all-in-all movie presentation gets carried away and neglected due to poor execution, packaging, and projection. The computer-generated characters have also been given life by an exceptional cast of actors, including Ajay Devgn to Arjun, Manoj Bajpayee to Yudhisthir, Sunny Deol to Bheem, Anil Kapoor to Karan, Jackie Shroff to Duryodhan, Anupam Kher to Shakuni, and Vidya Balan to Draupadi. The actors' lip-syncing falls out of place from time to time in a few instances. The effects, clothing, and general appearance are meticulously detailed. On the other hand, the animation is so silly and falls short, unlike other Hollywood productions.

What’s there?

  • Animated, mythological, and action experience
  • Epic storyline isn’t altered
  • Voiceovers by famous actors

What’s Not There?

  • Insufficient in terms of graphics and animation.
  • The animation is so silly.
  • Lip syncing falls out of place in a few scenes.

Verdict

This film consists of historical, animated, action, and adventure experiences. The voiceovers and animated performances of legendary actors are appealing to watch. But, the movie should have been executed better with this much budget allocation. This movie is admirable and exciting for kids. The graphics and animation are thoughtless and silly. It is worth watching the film for kids at least once.
