Rajinikanth’s Kochadaiiyaan (2014), a Tamil full-length animation film, failed to create a stir and collected only Rs 70 crore with a budget of Rs 125 crore. Looking at the past performance of films made in this genre, there is no denying that animation films made in India. Yash Raj Films are the distributors for the film. It will have far superior animation in comparison to its predecessors and can compete with the best in the world, the filmmaker claims. And this time the film will offer state-of-the-art animation and production quality.Ĭhilaka, who has directed Chhota Bheem Kungfu Dhamaka said that they took a giant leap in quality of animation and production. Showing confidence in Chhota Bheem, its makers are now set to release the first ever Chhota Bheem theatrical in digital 3D titled Chhota Bheem Kungfu Dhamaka. Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation that has created and built Chhota Bheem, said: “Animation movies are normally labelled as kids movies, hence teens and adults shy away from it.” He, however, sounded optimistic and said: “The trend is changing and we believe that we will see more and more teens and adults coming to watch animation movies.” They have not been able to generate the same response as their Hollywood counterparts and the proof of this is their box office performance. And this is because Indian animation films are yet to find acceptability at home. And Chhota Bheem and the Throne of Bali which was made at a cost of Rs 5 crore, netted just Rs 4 crore.īut in comparison to other animation ventures, Chhota Bheem’s silver screen performance is considered as better or not-so-bad. Chhota Bheem and Himalayan Adventure earned Rs 4 crore against an investment of Rs 5.75 crore. Industry data shows, the 2012 release Chota Bheem and the Curse of Damyaan clocked Rs 5 crore at a budget of Rs 4.50 crore. Since then, Chhota Bheem has been star of 300 television episodes, 27 television movies and three theatrical releases.ĭespite being a successful television series, Chhota Bheem has been unable to replicate this success on celluloid. It made a debut on the Indian television screens in 2008. Taking over these cartoon characters in India is the nine-year old boy who loves laddoos-Chhota Bheem.Ĭhhota Bheem's viewership is pegged at over 40 million, among the highest for an animation brand. In the yesteryears, children would be glued to television sets watching Mickey Mouse or Tom & Jerry.
