Hanuman

As no other more serious movies were released in the near-by halls, we decided to watch ‘Hanuman’ this weekend. It is an animation movie depicting the life of Hanuman from his birth to the conquest of Lanka. The animation quality was pretty good. I liked the music too. As goes the story, it is all that you already know. There isn’t any scope for an innovative story line when you are making a film based on the oldest epic tale of the world.

The director did a good job in selecting the portions relevant to the life of Hanuman and didn’t make an attempt to portray the whole of the Ramayana. However even after his judicious assortment, the volume of stories was rather heavy for the two and a half hour span of the movie. After all it was more or less the same story that Ramanand Sagar stretched for over four years!

I must admit that the animation quality, though good, wasn’t at par with the Hollywood releases. However, it was overall a good experience to watch such a film. It is a must watch for kids; but the adults will enjoy it too.
