"Arjun- The Warrior Prince" is a good movie. However it ends abruptly, would
have loved to watch Arjuna dispel his attachments and turn into a real
warrior just as the MahaBharata war is about to begin, amidst the blow of
conches, neighs of horses and bellows of elephants! The movie is about
his transformation into one but sadly leaves out one of the greatest
event in his life which gave him courage to stand up and fight for the
righteous things in life!
Animation in some parts of the movie is really brilliant, and in some parts leaves much to be asked (emotions are not captured well, may be that's the limitation of 2D animation). The story could have been handled a little better. The basic flaw in narration that I felt was the pointed attempt to show Arjuna in the best light. Many happenings in MahaBharata where others play a significant role are left out, many events are shown but the other characters are given secondary importance (infact have no role to play). Such an attempt was uncalled for, because, MahaBharata in its original form gives each character its due importance. A carefull selection of events would have taken care of highlighting the character of Arjuna.
Nevertheless its a good movie! Keeps you engaged till its end!
