A 3-D Toon Film on the
adventures and deeds of Lord Ganesha's childhood.
Bal Ganesh, directed by
Pankaj Sharma is a 3D animated film. The film begins
with engrossing and fast-paced story of the child's
transformation into Lord Ganesha. Brilliantly
illustrated is the confrontation between the young Lord
Ganesha and Lord Shiva, where, on his mother's (Goddess
Parvati) orders, child Ganesha stands guard at the door
as she goes for her bath. He lets no one in, not even
his father Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva loses his temper, and
even threatens him, but Ganesha doesn't budge.
Ganesha's brother Lord Kartika circles the physical
world on his "vahana" - the peacock, and here too,
Ganesha uses his brains and he circles his parents -
using the adage that our parents are our world - and he
wins the race.
Many funny moments are colourfully illustrated in this
film, especially the point where Lord Ganesha is invited
for a meal at Lord Kubera's house, and even after
tucking in huge amount of food, his hunger is not
satiated and mischievously announces that if food is
over, he humorously threatens that he would even relish
eating Lord Kuber.

Lord Shiva unleashes Nandi
and his other followers on Ganesha who single-handedly
tackles them and even Lord Brahma. Lord Shiva then
resorts to his dance of fury - Tandava. The beheading of
Lord Ganesha was in presence of Lord Vishnu and Goddess
Laxmi. Mother Parvati's upset, and then Lord Shiva
brings Lord Ganesha back to life by giving him an
elephant's head.
There are other enjoyable moments created by Ganesha's
adorable rat companion - Mooshak, the child Ganesha
constantly getting into trouble with his mother and his
attempts to pin his folly on Mooshak.
The number Ganpati Bappa
Maurya and the theme music for Lord Shiva are
outstanding in the soundtrack by Shamir Tondan and
Sanjay Dhakan.
The animated characters of Bal Ganesh, Mooshak are
colourful, emotive and even sensitive even as they go on
about their naughty antics.
