Poor demon just can't get no respect while Bhima's chowing down on lunch.
Afterwards, Bhima shows Bakasura some luca wrestling moves, causing his teammates to forfeit the match.
Again, while the animation isn't at a japanese level, I liked the use of background music for mood and atmosphere.
It'll take awhile for Indian animation studios to ramp up on quality and budgets. As animation becomes more popular, then likewise the animation budgets will grow, and so too will the quality improve.
I think it's particularly smart of them to target the Spanish-language market for exports, as this is the fastest-growing entertainment market in the Western hemisphere. It'll give us something more in common than exchanging Marxist slogans.

Well, if they want to re-tell the originals, or invent something completely new, that's fine. But to bastardize the original stories and have Rama riding around on a Harley or a flying Star Wars speedbike, sounds a little cheesey and disrespectful to me. There's a danger of trivializing the source material.
Hell, Peter Jackson did his best to stay faithful to Lord of the Rings, and he didn't have the Elves firing "energy weapons", as "cool" as that might look.
