It’s a great time for some Indians film makers now on a making spree of animation movies. We had Hanuman, Return of Hanuman, Bal Ganesh and then My friend Ganesha 2 which were superior as per Indian standards from the point of view of their technical advancement. Cheenti Cheenti Bang Bang movie review... Cheenti Cheenti Bang Bang is the latest Indian 2 dimensional animation film with some great voice-overs. Anjan Srivastava and Mahesh Manjrekar create enticing characters in the form of the two rival ant kings, and there is Ashish Vidyarthi’s voice which is absolutely engaging as Ghunn, the evil termite who creates mayhem with the two kingdoms for his personal gain.
