The film’s animation was lacking but it was the brand promotion that was downright irritating. There were moments where the audio and animation didn’t sync quite as well but that is to be expected. Some actors were almost unrecognizable, with their voices gelling perfectly with the character. With a lead voice cast of Zuhab Khan, Arisha Raz, Bashar Amir, Mehwish Hayat, Sarwat Gilani, and Fahad Mustafa, the film has good voice acting. But she fails in making the film more than its sum of parts.Īt the end of the day, it looks and very much feels like a low budget animated film and whatever social messages it is trying to impart come across as preachy.
Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, the mind behind the animated series, can be accredited with a number of things: from being bold enough to venture into animation in Pakistan, to ensure that the films were decidedly Pakistani and dealt with relevant social issues. But the sad truth is that there really isn’t much to enjoy in this franchise and 3 Bahadur: Rise of the Warriors, the last film from the series, makes a good case for why that is a good thing. There should be some sadness, some lingering fondness for the film that as many critics claim “brought animation to Pakistan”.
