Mythology has always enchanted audience world over and that too in various formats. Religious gatherings, books, comics, television, movies...you name it and you would find a way in which great stories from the past have been passed on from generation to generation.
Bollywood too has been contributing in its own way to this endeavor and though the volume of making films revolving around mythology may have diminished, the concept is still being kept alive by some entrepreneur film makers. After the phenomenal success of 'Hanuman' last year, Hindi film world would again witness one of the greatest heroes of all times, Krishna, albeit in the younger days of his life.
Though there would hardly be a soul who may not be aware about the stories revolving around Krishna, it is always entertaining to hear [and see] them all over again. This becomes especially exciting when it is presented in an animation format, which in turn becomes highly appealing to the kids.
'KRISHNA', a richly animated, musical feature film tells the story of Lord Krishna's birth, his childhood spent in Vrindavan and his slaying of Kansa, the evil ruler of Mathura. The film features various adventures of his childhood, including his clashes with demons like Pootna, Trinavarat and many more. This animated feature also brings to life Lord Krishna's naughty aspects like stealing butter, and other adventures.
Another enchanting aspect of Lord Krishna's life of playing the flute and bewitching the 'gopis', who become eternally devoted to him and indulge in Ras Leela, is beautifully depicted in this entertaining feature. Lord Krishna, as a very young man returns to Mathura and finally overthrows his evil uncle Kansa, thus bringing to an end this fascinating story of his birth and childhood days.
