Dharmapadato: First animated film in Oriya

Youngsters of the state had to heave a sigh of deprivation while watching their favourite animation feature films in foreign language or even in any Indian language, for not having one in their mother-tongue. Though they relish animated features in different language but had been longing for an animated feature film in their Oriya for long.

The long wait over as city-based Institute of Digital Media Technology (IDMT) is all set to roll out the first-ever Oriya animated feature film ‘Dharmapada- One Life For Many Lives’. As the preliminary step, the audio CD of the film was released here last evening, in a colourful function, amid enthusiastic children and parents of the city.

As the very nome suggests, the film is based on the life of ‘Dharmapada, the legendary boy hero, who sacrificed himself in order to save the lives of twelve hundred sculptors and artists engaged in building the world-famous Sun Temple at Konark.

The film, which is expected to be released on 1 April next year, on the occasion of Utkal Diwas, in an international premiere in USA, is being simultaneously produced in four languages ~ Oriya, Hindi, Bengali and English. The audio CD released yesterday, contains five songs and the release was for twin purposes ~ publicity and generation of much-needed fund for the project.
