The music is also considerably weaker than the previous movies and although 3 Bahadur isn’t really a film you look at in terms of good music. While The Donkey King leaned more towards teenagers and grownups than kids, 3 Bahadur has no qualms about catering to its age group, so the humor is suitable for kids but may not amuse adults. It also helped that the film was paced well and the storyline ultimately tied up nicely. The characters were fleshed out and likable, and the energy was infectious. The film nails the comedy part quite well with kids eating up all the humor the film offered. The action scenes in the film are also done quite well. Plot-wise, the film sensibly tackles water shortage and drought as aliens and other villains all wreak havoc.

The film’s animation was lacking but it was the brand promotion that was downright irritating. There were moments where the audio and animation didn’t sync quite as well but that is to be expected. Some actors were almost unrecognizable, with their voices gelling perfectly with the character. With a lead voice cast of Zuhab Khan, Arisha Raz, Bashar Amir, Mehwish Hayat, Sarwat Gilani, and Fahad Mustafa, the film has good voice acting. But she fails in making the film more than its sum of parts.Īt the end of the day, it looks and very much feels like a low budget animated film and whatever social messages it is trying to impart come across as preachy. Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, the mind behind the animated series, can be accredited with a number of things: from being bold enough to venture into animation in Pakistan, to ensure that the films were decidedly Pakistani and dealt with relevant social issues. But the sad truth is that there really isn’t much to enjoy in this franchise and 3 Bahadur: Rise of the Warriors, the last film from the series, makes a good case for why that is a good thing.

There should be some sadness, some lingering fondness for the film that as many critics claim “brought animation to Pakistan”.
