Arjun: The Warrior Prince
Legend knows him as an archer of unwavering focus, the soldier who fought a battle in his own heart before taking up arms against his enemy. This is the untold story of Arjun, hero of the Mahabharata. A precocious talent plunged from boyhood and innocence into a murky world of deceit and betrayal, coming of age to become the most powerful warrior of his time. From the dusty plains of Hastinapur to the icy peaks of the Himalayas, Arjun: The Warrior Prince is the story of a man discovering what it takes to be a hero.

Let's be realistic.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
One word.. Excellent !! Its by far the best Hindi/ Indian animated movie ever. The story, in-spite of the deviations from popular mythology keep the viewer engaged.Dialogues are very well written. The lack of no name voice overs is actually a good thing. I wish they would take the Amar chitra katha series as inspiration and make a ton of more films like this. Its time to bring animated movies from India into the 21st century. I hope this team makes movies on other stories from the Mahabharata and gives it the same treatment. It would be even more awesome if they would release the movie with more regional language sound tracks and international ones to introduce the rest of the world to Indian mythology
Several have already commented about the missing portions, about the amazing animation, about the wonderful work the voice-over artists have done, etc.At the very end when Arjun squares off against Duryodhan, their disparity in heights reminded me of the epic fight choreographed between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris at the Colosseum in the movie 'Return of the Dragon'. Needless to say, I was quite surprised (and pleased) when I saw Arjun use quite a few of the same moves that Bruce Lee used (e.g., the quadruple rapid-fire kicks; his rapid feet movement feet when he circles around Duryodhan). Even the way the latter falls was quite reminiscent of Chuck Norris' fall.One other thing I'd like to add. Some comments were made about how no 'special weapons' had been shown to have been used in the movie, but Arjun still somehow managed to vanquish the Kaurav army single-handed. Given the spate of 'realistic' mythological movies that are being made nowadays (Troy, Hercules, etc.,) where the heroes are portrayed as human rather than demigods endowed with supernatural powers, Arjuna: The Warrior Prince is a decent attempt at animating an Indian mythological hero and making it a story of how he gains mastery over his fears. This is basically a story for children and as such, adding something like the 'Brahmastra' or one of the other 'astras' would only divert from the moral the director was trying to convey.
One of the best movies in animation which is so awfully directed. Nice character.Superb actions and locations.Wow, it feels so proud to watch a superb movie created by Indians. When I saw Walt Disney name, I got an idea that this movie will be one of the coolest.Like Walt Disney, Indian companies should strive hard. Explore the creativeness to create exceptional animated movies. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you.
1. As an animation film....fabulous. Haven't seen anything of this level earlier from India . will truly put it on the international animation level . Reminded me of some of the classic animation films from the west. even though it was not like those giant expensive 3d films, in fact that is what made it refreshing. just the classic style and beautiful details. 2. As a story, loved it. while it spoke of something we are all so familiar with in India, it still managed to keep us glued and wait for whats next. Hats off for taking a known story and yet making it so interesting. Waiting for a sequel 3. After ages, some sensible , clean cinema...with no sleazy dances and loud abusive language. I didn't have to cringe while watching it with the family 4. Was so good to see that people are still trying to make clean beautiful looking films 5. And most importantly all age groups seem to have enjoyed it thoroughly!
