The film received mixed reviews. Subhash K. Jha said, If you were hoping that animation films would come of age with this purported epic, you are in for a disappointment. Though the characters from the Mahabharat have faces and voices of the biggest stars, the images do not add up to a compelling canvas. Not by a wide margin. India TV said, The presentation is epic in intent, yes. Alas, the execution, packaging and projection leave the epic undernourished and overemphasized. and rated itout ofstars.Meena Iyer of The Times of India rated it three and half out of five, saying Amitabh Bachchans bartitone is used for the stellar Bheeshma Pitamah. Although the Big B doesnt have muscular arms like his animated counterpart, their faces match. A superlative list of actors like Ajay Devgn Arjun, Manoj Bajpayee Yudhisthir, Sunny Deol Bheem, Anil Kapoor Karan, Jackie Shroff Duryodhan, Anupam Kher Shakuni and Vidya Balan Draupadi have also infused life into the computer generated characters with their inimitable voices. and concluded, On the flip side, the animation effort itself is immature and several notches below those of Hollywood films. Yet the dub effort by the Bollywood superstars uplifts this epic, making it enjoyable. ........
