![]() Pakistan's first ever-animated movie is a pathetic fail. The only thing that troubled me about 3 Bahadur though was that some action scenes (for the likes of Disney and Pixar) were a bit too graphic and loud but other than that 3 Bahadur was a good watch. Sheraz Upal has really outdone himself with the music, both songs are just what you want in a kids' movie, catchy and full of life. Technically flawless, the movie's jokes and references are all fun and easily relatable. The story makes sense because all of the three children have their individual scores to settle with the thugs and they do so rather brilliantly. Set in the not so cleverly named town of "Roshan Nagar", the story follows three brave friends (the intelligent and curious Saadi, the bossy Amna and the humorous Kamil) who, after getting superpowers for no special reason or explanation, attempt to rid the town of the evil "Mangu" who has terrorized the entire city by use of his dark magical powers and has started a mafia which rules the area. "3 Bahadur" Despite it's quirks though 3 Bahadur is a very fun and interesting movie for all ages and is definitely worth buying the cinema tickets for. What do you get when you give three kids superpowers without any explanation and remind the audience of your sponsors after every ten seconds. And lastly, it was a delight to see a theater packed with kids, chaperoned by their parents and some adults. Sheraz Uppal's tracks are icing on the cake. This is a strong message and the team behind the movie has to be lauded. The movie's central message is for the kids to, unlike their adult guardians, never passively submit to a wrong. The way the town passively submits to evil taking over also has very real parallels. The symbology in the movie - from the eccentric goon practicing Bharat-Natyam (a noted leader of a political mafia in actuality is known to sing in his speeches and has on occasions also danced), the well meaning 'chowkidaar', the only sane male (Imran Uncle) is hard to miss. The story revolves around three kids who are bestowed with super powers that allow them to battle the evil that's holed up in the town's clock-tower. The team behind '3 Bahadur' has been successful in crafting an end product that stands firmly on its own and indeed, stands tall. Sharmin Obaid's animated follow up to her Oscar winning documentaries is a well-made animated feature that pays homage to some epic Hollywood animated films, all the while remaining firmly grounded in Pakistani culture and ethos. I recommend it to all and show it to your kids they might get excite about our own 3 bahadurs instead of Chota Bheem or Dorimon crap. Overall, for a debut aniamtion movie, it was good. The Shield & the Black hole was the best thing & they made the characters use them in an awesome way. ![]() The best thing in the movie was the Superpowers given to 3 bahadur, they were new and truly i was expecting wolvering & fantastic four kinda power but thank God the didn't followed them. Mangu the bad guy, most of the times reminded me Prince of Persia warrior within, seemed same. Amna the intelligent one, her dialogues and reaction on kamils attitude were the best i must say. Kamil the funny one, with good dialogues & body language. Saadi the heroic one, was kinda usual hero. All 3 main characters were cool in their own way but i liked Kamil the most. Story, Sound,Characters and the Superpowers of characters were pretty good. According to me, Graphically the movie was below average, they should have used better tools & techniques or the realoty synthesizers that is used in western animation and games. In the times when Disnep & Pixar, it is pretty difficult to make your mark but at least for me, 3 Bahadur hits the right spot. ![]()
