Hanuman

India's first Animation Movie
I was egerly waiting for "Hanuman".
there were two reasons behind this, very first the subject being very much indian, and that too somewhere in the blurr zone of Indian Mythology or may be Vedic History. That is subject of debate. But in this movie the subject is treated not as history but pure fiction as in mythology.
The Filmmakers claim that, they kept everyone in mind not only children as audience, but as I feel this movie is best and rightly targeted at child audience. If any adult has to watch this he have to become a child for the duration of the movie. But that is not a bad idea, even I enjoyed this movie a lot. And felt proud as well. Not only movie but I also enjoyed the audience themselves.
One little audience was crying when रावण "Ravan" was killed. he constantly keep saying till the end of the movie "Ravan ko vaapis lao, Ravan kidhar gaya". (bring back Ravan, wehre has he gone?)
Some young audinece were reciting the songs which I think they had already memorised thanks to Cartoon Network or some other TV channel. Me too enjoyed the songs very much. Hanuman Chaalisa's chaupais were also used.
"जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुण सागर, जय कपीश तिहु लोक उज़ागर"


A video is also shot with many a child artistes in it and a bunch of famous and energetic singers like Kailash Kher (Allah ke Bande fame), Palasha Sen and others like Sonu Nigam etc. The video was shown in the last with credits.
I thank all the crew of this film for doing this wonderful job and made me proud of themselves.
And amazingly, there were few love birds also seen in the theater, I could not guess why they came for this movie, but they were there with the reasons best known to them.
