Our filmmakers do produce mythological animation flicks but that’s a rare occurrence. Mostly, you have a kiddie animation releasing when the children have their summer holidays and knowing the fact that they would anyway see the flick, seldom do filmmakers come out with an animation movie that makes an impact.
You like them or you don’t, but movies like ‘Hanuman’ and ‘Bal Ganesh’ are simple efforts put in by filmmakers to infuse a breath of fresh air in the humdrum of Bollywood.
Similarly, ‘Bal Ganesh 2’, directed by Pankaj Sharma, is a simple story, clubbed with sweet animation and just that.
It includes three different stories, all related to Lord Ganesha and the outcome rather gratifying. It is more than a movie; something you would want your children to see not because it’s about Ganesha, but for the fact that it shows him in a childlike form, making it easier to identify with him and believe him.
The second instalment of ‘Bal Ganesh’ is a step ahead in every term, whether it is the content, voiceovers or the animation. It updates you with what you witnessed in its first part and then three different stories unravel: The first story pertains to a cat and how Lord Ganesha plays a prank on it. Much later, Goddess Parvati gives an invaluable advice to Lord Ganesha... The second story pertains to Sage Vyasa. Lord Ganesha not only writes the entire book, but also translates it while writing it. The third story pertains to Lord Ganesha fighting it out with a powerful demon. He fights it out and you love it.
On the whole, it can prove to be a nice watch.
Rating: Two cheers
