Bajrang Bali - Chandrakant - India - (1976)




Plot by Imdb:" Bhagwan Shri Bajrangbali has had super-natural powers at a very young age which includes swallowing the sun, lifting mountains, just to name a few. Bajrangbali has always regarded the skies and universe as his playground and could leap and fly around at will. Non could be super-natural as Bajrangbali, he could make himself small and large, if needed, burn down a whole colony all at once. Bajrangbali makes it his duty to serve Bhagwan Shri Ram all days in his life. He will make this comes to light when Ram's wife, Devi Maa Sita, has been kidnapped by Shivbakht Ravan, and is being held captive in far off Lanka. He displays this as he locates Sitaji, kills Akshaye, Ravan's son, mocks Ravan, and even sets Lanka afire, before returning back to Ramji, and tells him that he has 30 days to get Sita back before Ravan forcibly marries her. Watch as events unfold what Bajrangbali will do to make Ram locates his wife, Sita, how he will save Ram's brother, Laxman from dieing and a good result at the end"

What an amazing movie ! A 3 hour treat for the lovers of Indian mythology, filled with fantasy and magic, as we watch Hanuman battling against the villains for the honor of his lord RAM. Quite a mesmerizing spectacle, Bajrang Bali really is a masterpiece of a kind: the art direction is impressive, sets are beautiful, the super old-school fx are great and flashy, the music is catchy (some songs are excellent),  the fights are funny, the actors are good overall and one dance act just left me with a stupid smile on my face (I guess I am a sucker for Indian extravagant choreography by sexy dancers). How can we ask more from a 1976 Bollywood movie about mythical events ? Guess Bajrang Bali would need to be rediscovered because it's really great fun.
Hail, hail Bajrang Bali !!!
