Arjun: The Warrior Prince (2012)
An animation masterpiece
First of all being a low budget indian animation yet very well done film already earns it my appreciation.
Originally i would like to give it 8 stars -
Storyline-
Yes people who are aware of the original tale might not like the extend of liberties the narration takes here and i totally agree with them but i think the essence here is 'Arjun's development as a warrior' - and for me it does capture it very well.
Music-
Soothing and keeps up with the mood of the scene in question. It seems to have been composed and sung by some famous names so could not expect any less.
Animation-
Exceptional. The background details are just beautiful and jaw dropping. The concentrated character lighting give it an exclusive vibe plus the angels - just wow!
Voice acting-
Well done.
Indian animation still seems at its infant stage but this film opposes the belief.
I gave it +1 star that the rating above is not the hardwork of the team deserves. It is an underrated film especially overshadowed by trashy bollywood movies (not all) not delivering the quality of even as little as it does.
Watch it with an open mind and get ready to be astounded by its delicate animation.

Please read the review
Spoilers -
Okay, so as a person who has both read the original translated manga and have watched the anime adaptation - I quite liked and both disliked this movie.
The biggest strength of this movie is - Futaba's character - honestly (that's my opinion) - I did find the original futaba a bit cringey - this version of futaba on the contrary supports kou without causing further trouble of adding to the turmoil and giving the limelight to the deserved object of focus rather than her ,but at the start I became a bit down since the actresses seemed to have overacted but as the movie progresses, she refines and adapts herself into the character.
Now the dislike - well the narration. The first past I.e kou's past seemed to have been highlighted more - something just seemed off. I know they had to cover the later part as well but given the dynamics - Narumi's part might could have been cut off more.
Thing I just want to mention- Kou. Actor who acted as Kou - he fit perfectly well but just that something seemed incomplete- maybe I was expecting some expressions which never occur given my tendency to compare it to the source.
Overall - it seemed to have done justice to the story. Some lines seemed to have been changed but nevertheless some changes did took me off guard and are worth appreciation.
Thank you team for delivering your best efforts :)
