ZEE5 Kids Best of Indian Mythology

Ever since the announcement of lockdown, we have been relying on TV and live to a stream of new serials and shows. Sometimes, we binge-watch shows and our kids watch along with us. Not being able to step out of the house is making kids very restless and as parents, we need to support and guide them to spend their time effectively and constructively. This has motivated families to opt for fun viewing across all ages.

Top four Interesting Mythological Movies on ZEE5 Kids

And there is no better time than this to introduce the magical and mythological tales that our ancestors were so proud of, to our children. Watching animated mythological films is a good way to help children get to know more about our customs, traditions, past and relevant historical stories. This will definitely make children understand the values of family bonding, good morals and what our Indian culture presents. These mythological movies will not only educate our kids but will also keep them thoroughly entertained. 

1. Bal Hanuman

 Bal Hanuman, the 2007 animated mythological film is based on the adventures of young Hanuman. Lord Hanuman was a strong, intelligent, obedient Monkey God with supreme powers. He always used his superpowers for the right things, to resolve problems and troubles. His loyalty towards Lord Ram enables him to rescue Sita from the wicked Ravana. This movie Bal Hanuman is fast-paced, with great background score, easy to understand and can be enjoyed by the entire family. Itteaches children all about the intelligence and powers which Bal Hanuman was bestowed with. Children get to realize that Bal Hanuman is certainly much more than just a Monkey God who lifted a mountain on his finger.

2. Krishna Balram- Kalvakra

Kids will definitely enjoy the animated story of two brothers  Krishna and Balram. They will relate to the naughty Krishna and his elder brother Balram. The entire plot and the adventures of this duo are based in Vrindavan. How their combined efforts defeat Kaalvakra, an invincible Asura. The fun adventures and the action drama of the brothers with many more beautiful Krishna folklores makes it an interesting watch. It is a sincere way to teach kids about brotherhood, values and respect for a sibling.

3. Mahabharat

The Mahabharat is depicted in a child-friendly way for kids to get engrossed and stay glued until the end. An animated mythological drama is full of action with an authentic storyline. This makes Mahabharta a must-watch mythological movie.  This movie has voice over rendered by Bollywood stalwarts Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Vidya Balan, Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Manoj Bajpayee as they play the main characters in the movie. The story of Pandavas, Kauravas, and Lord Krishna makes this film an interesting watch where truth ultimately prevails over evil. 

4. Ramayana

This 2010 movie directed by Chetan Desai is a devotional animated story depicting the epic Ramayana. It starts with the Son of King Dashratha, Lord Ram being exiled into the forest. His brother Laxmana and wife Sita accompany him to the forest. However, Sita Devi is kidnapped by the evil Ravana and the story takes a turn from this point. The movie brings forth the importance of family bonding and unity to face all kinds of difficulties and hardships. The entire movie flows beautifully, aesthetically, and is splendid to watch. Ramayana is top on my list amongst ZEE5 Kids Best of Indian Mythology.

My final thoughts

Being a preschool teacher I realize the importance of the teachings from our heritage. Parents would struggle to imbibe good values, morals, and compassion in children. I would strongly recommend these ZEE5 Kids Best of Indian Mythology.  It will not only enable a healthy environment for kids and parents at home during lockdown but also bring forth the spirit of family bonding.
