3 Braves (2015)

Watched first animated Pakistani movie for kids Teen Bahadur (Three Braves)with my nephews and nieces.It was fun! House was full with children and time to time their reaction surprised me. Their sweet laughter specially when teen Bahadur fight against evil made my experience cherished to realized kids are reacting and understanding it. 😊 Good script incl tanker mafia bhatta'khori(Land Mafia)subjected. Innovative characters with their excellent voice overs were beautified this movie much. Visual effects and graphics made it very world standard outclass. Thanks producers animation studio team Vaadii, ARY Films for wonderful family entertainment. Thought became a reality specifically for kids. They have something to tell in future from their past as we usually discuss our childhood memory talking about "Alf Laila"(Arabian Nights) and Ainak Wala jinn(Jinni wearing goggles)of PTV, it is our very own common memory to share. They ll I know.

While animations nowadays are entertaining for viewers of all ages, this one may only appeal to my seven years old. The biggest plus is that no one thought that such good quality animation can come out of the Pakistani film industry. However, that is all that it is - an animated film from a "poor" industry that has decent animation. There was no story worth its salt, the characters were weak and the outcome was fairly predictable all along. Many scenes seem laundered from other similar movies. Action sequences were extremely unimaginative. The whole "Kamil Dada" banter was not enough to provide the mandatory comic relief that has become an essential component of all animations. Avoid if you are serious about what you watch, however, if you have time to kill, go ahead and watch this one but do not expect much.

A typical "good vs evil" story for the kids. Mimicking those childhood stories that we had here in Pakistan in 90's. Evil and Good both start in the same place, then face off against each other and the evil is defeated eventually.Animation of the film is average, and filled with sponsors titles, which is not pleasing at all, but may be that was the back up plan if the crowd does not turn up. From a kids perspective a nice movie to watch, at least worth the ticket. And for the first animation movie made in Pakistan it was a nice effort and a sequel may be on the way.

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.
