3D Feature Film: Hey Krishna

News of an Indian stereoscopic 3D animated movie, "Hey Krishna" (Krishna aur Kans), produced by Reliance Animation, converted by Reliance Media Works and distributed by Reliance BIG Entertainment, recently hit the Internet. It's impossible to judge how good the 3D will be from this 2D trailer, but the impressive 2D animation will hopefully translate to a high quality stereoscopic version.



The film has been dubbed India's first stereoscopic 3D animated film (apparently oblivious to Alpha and Omega).

"Hey Krishna" is scheduled for release August 3rd. It was written by Kamlesh Pandey, directed by Vikram Veturi. It stars Om Puri, Juhi Chawla, Manoj Bajpai, Anupam Kher, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and A.K. Hangal.  More info can be found on their Facebook page.

Hopefully this Indian film will make it to the US, instead of cheap Disney/Pixar knockoffs like Kiara the Brave, which is now on Netflix and is even worse than it sounds.
