Appu Aur Shera ( Animation - Comedy)

This is an animated movie that is a culmination of jungle book meeting bollywood. This is the story of a young lion Shera who is the son of the King of the jungle and how he falls in love with Appu or Aparna an elephant. This is a story set in the jungle against backdrop of Indian movies where the Lions parents oppose this love as they are from royal blood, who eat non vegetarian (like Ek Duje Ke Liye) and how can their son love an overweight dark looking creature. There is the villain in the fox who poisons the King.

Similarly is Appu’s family who opposes this alliance and worried about what will happen to their herd and their generation. They are worried that Appu has started to diet and trying to loose weight. This they feel is against their tradition and culture. In a typical bollywood style both Appu and Shera elope from the jungle and how both the families search for them. We have the deer, the monkey and the eagle assisting them to hide and be together.

Finally love triumphs and how both are united is the end of this fantasy love story filled with song dance and emotions.
