*****

STORY.
During the Late Cretaceous period 70 million years ago, the Alexornis bird Alex narrates about three Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler, and Juniper who grow from infants into adulthood. Alex has a symbiotic relationship with Pachyrhinosaurus. Patchi leads the herd in migrating, and they also encounter the predator Gorgon the Gorgosaurus.

CRITIC VIEW.
An endeavor for a full fledge commercial movie based on dinosaurs is truly a visual bonanza for the audiences who are fan of creatures history,they will get accurately the feel of the century when they existed on planet earth.

WALKING WITH DINOSAURS is the eventual cinematic experience on big screen with 3D, it will make you absorb yourself in every visuals.

A story weaves into a documentary of Dinosaurs is fun to watch in whole as it’s more engaging then just learning and to see what has happened then.

Though there are many flaws in the making as there has been no effort put on the expression of the creatures on lip-synching and some portions [Ariel shot of where the migration of the creatures] has a complex CGI effects.

In whole the movie is full of a spectacular visual and a good Music by Paul Leonard-MorganIn background. So just sit back and enjoy.

Starring K Prasanna and Lekha Washington it was recently viewed by Kamal Haasan upon his personal request at his home, and he warmly appreciated the whole team, calling the film "Very cute!"

The actor will be seen playing a controversial role of Pakistan Army officer in his forthcoming pragmatic film, ‘The Bastard Child’ which is based on true story of Bangladesh genocide.

Expressing his thoughts on playing the character of Pakistan Army officer and working in realistic cinema, the critically acclaimed actor, Pavan says, “I feel honored for having the opportunity to work for some of the non-jazzy movies of meaningful cinema. Being a part of such a team, such a movie comes with a sense of responsibility and at the same time pride especially when the incidents portrayed on the screen are based on true incidents. The Bastard Child has moved me and I want the world to go, watch it and be moved too.”

With the success of 'R… Rajkumar', Shahid Kapoor has broken the mould and entered a massy genre

Among the younger crop of actors, Shahid is the only one who has managed to cut through the out and out masala film segment.

Owing to this the young actor has been approached by several brand advertisers... In the past two weeks, Shahid has been offered endorsements ranging from mobile phones to motorbikes to a suiting and shirting brand as well as one for vests.

These brands have been on a look out for a brand ambassador who is popular among the masses at large

Usually this ad segment is dominated by Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar who have a huge fan base especially in B and C towns.

With the success of R… Rajkumar Shahid has managed to build a connect of sorts with audiences.  

Source says, “Shahid’s never done such an out-and-out masala film with intense action scenes. So for the audience, it was a refreshing change to see him in this avatar. Shahid has won praise for his high-energy stunts in the film, which in turn, has attracted a lot of brands that are keen to sign a young ambassador with mass appeal, for their products. With 'R… Rajkumar' being received well, especially in tier-II cities and towns, these brands are now keen to get him on board.”
