  • Mahayoddha Rama (Animation): Combines myth and comic for kids

    Mahayoddha Rama (Animation): Combines myth and comic for kids

    When it comes to animation films, our filmmakers usually fall back on Indian mythology probably thinking that the viewer will be familiar with the story already. Few, if ever, attempt a theme outside the myth such as the recent one MotuPatlu: King Of Kings.

    Mahayoddha Rama adopts a different approach in that this tale has been told from Ravan’s perspective who wants to destroy Rama, the avatar of Lord Vishnu, prophesied to be his doom. The approach is comical with a dash of martial art.

    As the story goes here, Ravan has been trying to get rid of Rama since his childhood and trying every trick from sending a tiger to kill Rama to sending his sister Surpankha to lure him and brother Laxman.

    Ravan’s 10 heads are the funny part of the film as each head has a different voice. While the main head has the voice of Gulshan Grover to go with his villain image, the rest are voices of Roshan Abbas, Gaurav Gera, Kiku Sharda, Sadashiv Amrapurkar and Amin Sayani, and others. One of the heads of Ravan also keeps chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ frequently!

    Kunal Kapoor has done the voiceover for Rama, Jimmy Shergill for Laxman and Suchitra Pillai for Surpankha.

    This animation film looks more like a comic take on the epic myth as the character of Ravan here is more like a caricature meant to evoke laughter though his surroundings are dark and he is surrounded by all sinister looking aides.

    While the animation is not up to the mark with the characters having limited expressions. The film has taken a long time hitting the cinemas having been made in 2008. It aims more at kids seeking fun out of this comical version of the Ramayana.

    Producer: Contiloe Films.

    Direction: Rohit Vaid.

    Cast (voices): Gulshan Grover, Kunal Kapoor, Jimmy Sheirgill, Mouni Roy, Amin Sayani, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Sameera Reddy

    Contiloe forays into animated genre with ‘Mahayoddha Rama’

    MUMBAI: Abhimanyu Singh’s Contiloe Pictures, after a hiatus of eight years, is all set to launch its first 3D animated movie, Mahayoddha Rama. The film is slated for a mid-October release.

    Contiloe so far has been producing shows for Indian television. Some of the remarkable ones have been — Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, Sankat Mochan Mahabali Hanuman, Adaalat and Agent Raghav.

    Produced and presented by Abhimanyu and Roopali Singh, directed by Rohit Vaid, the film was earlier scheduled to be launched in 2008. The teaser was released in March of that year, but, the film never got to the screens due to some circumstances. Earlier, the CG production for the Mahayoddha Rama (3D, 108 Minutes) was being handled by then one of India‘s leading studios Pixion. However, now the major part of the film has been done by Illusions Studio. The production house is yet to engage distributors for the film.

    Mahayoddha Rama has next-gen actors to veteran actors playing various characters. It stars Kunal Kapoor, Sameera Reddy, Jimmy Shergill and Gulshan Grover.

    The music of the film is the last stint of the music director late Aadesh Shrivastava, Lyrics have been penned by Javed Akhtar, and the screenwriter is Ashok Banker. The creative direction was by Deepak S.V.

    Zee is the official music partner of the film whereas Viacom 18 is the broadcast partner, informs Singh. “Zee has come on board as the music partner. Also, they will be helping us with the marketing as well. Apart from that, we have NucleusNow as the PR partner. We have already sold our broadcasting rights to Viacom 18, hence it will be available on Viacom 18’s platforms, both TV and OTT after the theatrical release.”

    Viacom 18’s Motu Patlu: King of Kings is set to release on 14 October. Singh refused to comment on the release date.
