3 Bahadur

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. The team behind '3 Bahadur' has been successful in crafting an end product that stands firmly on its own and indeed, stands tall. 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 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 way the town passively submits to evil taking over also has very real parallels. The movie's central message is for the kids to, unlike their adult guardians, never passively submit to a wrong. This is a strong message and the team behind the movie has to be lauded. Sheraz Uppal's tracks are icing on the cake. And lastly, it was a delight to see a theater packed with kids, chaperoned by their parents and some adults. A sequel is on the order.

Pakistan's first ever-animated movie is a pathetic fail. I got the CD of this movie from a shop after hearing many reviews about it. They were all saying it was the best movie ever and stuff like that, and I was curious to see it. I regret it. The plot is unoriginal and badly written. There is no chemistry between the characters. The characters have no development whatsoever, the animation is terrible and the characters are awful. Saadi is the main character but a poorly developed one. All he just does is boss everyone around and upset his mother. He is the smart one of the three Bahadur but he is so useless. He has the personality of a rock. All you need to know. Moreover, his power is super smarts. I MEAN, SERIOUSLY. SUPER SMARTS? Is that the best you can think of? There is Amna. AMNA IS THE BIGGEST MARY-SUE OF ALL TIME! I HATE HER SO MUCH! She has the power of super speed. However, she is always mean to everyone and repeatedly beats up Kamil. And she tackles a bad guy by running around him and the bad guy just lets her attack him.-_- Where's the creativity? The worst is Kamil. Someone needs to shut that retard up now. He has the ego that can be seen from space. He never shuts up and always brags about how great he is. When you see him, you will feel like throwing your TV out the window. He has the lamest power, super hearing. That will not help you much in anywhere. His jokes are not funny. You will often feel like punching him in the face. Anyway, the main plot is about the person named Mango who gives his soul to a demon for powers. Then he takes over the town he lives in with them (how original). It is a waste of time. In the battle scenes, they do nothing. The comedy is stale. The action is horrible. In one scene, they beat up a guy by throwing a ball on his head and instantly the villain tumbles and is defeated. I MEAN, SERIOUSLY? IS THAT HOW YOU BEAT SOMEONE UP? AT MY SCHOOL, ONE KID DESTABILIZED A TUBE LIGHT BY THROWING A BALL AT IT. I hate this garbage. It needs to burn in hell. You will regret wasting your time on this

The story was good and the kids enjoyed . Paise pure

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.

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.

Story, Sound,Characters and the Superpowers of characters were pretty good. All 3 main characters were cool in their own way but i liked Kamil the most. Saadi the heroic one, was kinda usual hero. Kamil the funny one, with good dialogues & body language. Amna the intelligent one, her dialogues and reaction on kamils attitude were the best i must say. Mangu the bad guy, most of the times reminded me Prince of Persia warrior within, seemed same.

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.

The Shield & the Black hole was the best thing & they made the characters use them in an awesome way.

Overall, for a debut aniamtion movie, it was good.

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.

Promote your industry, Promote Pakistan.

Bad Animation weak and bad Writing Worst Experience.

A negative rating for Negative.

I'm not sure what accomplished director/producer/cinematographer was thinking taking on this project.

This film has got to be the epitome of terrible writing and should be a classroom example of 'what not to do' when writing a screenplay.this is disaster.
