MAHABHARAT 2013 MOVIE MOVIE
What is praiseworthy though is a list of stellar movie stars lending their weighty voices to major characters in Mahabharat. Honestly, by this time, even you are hoping it gets over fast and soon. It almost looks like they just needed to get over with it once the Kurukshetra war starts.

Sadly, you are reminded of the two arrows colliding in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan and Ramayan was made before BR Chopra's televised Mahabharat. The final battle scenes should have been a display of spectacular technical wizardry but it's not. The animation effort is at best amateur and at place drawing too much attention to it because of it being gaudy. Nobody really expected Mahabharat to offer anything close to Hollywood standard but when you have worked on a film for seven years like how the makers of Mahabharat claim, at least ensure you can tell a story engagingly. The effort though not bad never rises above the ordinary. Grown up on a diet of gaming and easy access to internet they would need something a lot more alluring than what Amaan Khan's Mahabharat has to offer. They have also not grown up watching DD's 'Ek chidiya' type of what-we-used-to-call-cartoon films. Nobody wants a lecture right in the beginning. Today's kids are obviously smarter, sharper and a lot more impatient to get sucked into a story which opens to them in this sort of unappetising manner. The eagle goes on to narrate the story of the Mahabharat to the two boys who are all ears. Enter an eagle or some bird who looks like one, who then proceeds to give a moral science lesson on why two brothers should not be fighting over a gold coin. And how exactly do they tell you that? Before we are transported to the world of Hastinapur and Kurukshetra, we are introduced to two young boys of school going age, who are fighting over a gold coin right outside the Gateway of India. The makers of Mahabharat make it amply clear, at the outset that they are targeting the young audience of India.
