Looks like our costliest ('Mahabharat 3D') is still not good enough -- considering that we have a long way to go before even reach the standards of the animations that come out from the West

If only Mahabharat was a made-for-radio special instead of a half-heartedly animated demo reel masquerading as a children’s fantasy, writes Sukanya Verma.

Unfortunately, director Amaan Khan’s animated version is a tepid retelling, released strategically during vacation time so that it might keep the kids occupied for an afternoon — provided there’s enough popcorn to go around. Touted as India’s ‘most expens

Otherwise all they see is war, revenge and killing without understanding the real learning behind these epic stories!

The greatest epic on earth gets a new revelation in this CGI motion capture experiment funded by Pen India Pvt. Ltd. This first timer Amaan Khan directed venture in its 'dharma' does this incredible 'karma' transcends the quality by getting almost half of b-town A-list like Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff,Ajay Devgn, Manoj Bajpayee, Deepti Naval ,Madhuri Dixit,Vidya Balan, and Anupam Kher to cast their voice for this greatest mythological epic but somehow this animated 'bharm' (read illusion) doesn,t gets it dutifully that right as per the set animation standards in such genre worldwide. We hear it right but we don,t see it that right.

Mahabharat is fascinating to the ear but somewhat not designed and animated properly for your eyes. Thanks to the transcending by the b-town A-list through their voice which makes it a fair and decent attempt in the end.

However, the recent Mahabharat bring together some big names in the industry, though only for voice overs, which makes the movie stand out from the others.

Jayantilal Gada's Mahabharat in short is a shoddy and insipid representation of a mighty mythology which really has no potential to entice the kids.
