While I appreciate the effort, I wish the animation quality was better. Compared to international standards, our mythological films still have a long way to go in terms of VFX. But happy to see Indian stories getting recognition!

Hombale Films proving again why they're the best in the business! From KGF to Kantara and now this - they're bringing diverse Indian stories to mainstream cinema. Waiting eagerly for Kantara Chapter 1 now!

The scene where Prahlad's devotion is tested gave me goosebumps! 🥹 More such meaningful content needed instead of mindless masala movies. Our ancient wisdom is what the world needs today.
