While most versions of the
Mahabharata's screen or stage adaptations tend to focus on how great
an archer Arjun was, this film tells you about how a very talented
young boy was thrown into a world of deceit and betrayal and went on
to become the most powerful warrior of his time. The best part about
the film are its characters. In a nation, where B R Chopra's version
of Mahabharata is etched into the minds of its people, it would have
been quite a difficult task to sketch characters that look different
and are still accepted by the audience. Kudos to the team for doing
just that! The other high point of the movie is its music. Vishal and
Shekhar have come up with a track that's refreshing, upbeat and very,
very Indian. The songs introduce characters and take the story
forward, something mainstream Bollywood has failed to do, yet. So if
you're into animated films or cartoons, Walt Disney and UTV's Arjun –
The Warrior Prince could be your DVD pick this week.
