Story

Acharya (SP Balasubramanyam) is a renowned magician and also an inheritor of royal dynasty in Mayapuri. He is very fond of his grandson Indrajit (Suraj Balajee). Indrajit's father Krishna leaves Indrajit with Acharya because Krishna lost his wife. Krishna leaves to USA as he works in TV Asia in New York. When Krishna comes back to Mayapuri - he is astonished to see that Indrajit has become a little magician by neglecting basic studies. Hence, he decides to take Indrajit along with him to Newyork against the wishes of Acharya and Indrajit.

Indrajit is forced to leave to New York along with his father Krishna. There he finds that his father has a live-in girl friend. A very much disappointed Indrajit leaves his place in New York. The rest of the story is about how he makes friendship with a cute little dog and a couple of orphans to make a living and earn money to go back to India!

Artists: The kid who impressed everybody as the little Asoka in Sharukh Khan's 'Asoka' did the role of 'Indrajit'. He is very talented. He looks pretty cute and entertaining. SP Balu is an apt choice for the role of 'Acharya' and he did it in his own style. The comic villains in this film are impressive. What is more impressive is dubbing voices given by Venu Madhav and Kota Srinivasa Rao for villains.

Technical Departments:

Screenplay - Direction: As this film is targeted at children, the director indulged lot of entertaining elements that makes kids enjoy a lot. Direction and screenplay of the film are good

Camera: Since it's a 3-D film, the camerawork takes the major share in technical credits. Nambyadiri who worked as cameraman for 1st 3-d film Chinnari Chetana handled camerawork for 'Magic Magic'. His work speaks for himself.

Production: Appachchan - a famous Malayam producer who has 33 films to his credit has produced 1st 3-D film 'Chinnari Chetana' 20 years back. Jijo - the elder son of Appachan - directed that film. After a gap of 20 years, Jose - the second son of Appachan - has directed this film 'Magic Magic'. This film is made on a lavish budget of 14 crores and is released in 4 languages (Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi). The producer should be commended for coming forward to do an entertaining movie with new technology.

Analysis:
The 3-D effects in this film are simply amazing. Watching this film is a like reading a fantasy story in chandamama book in your childhood days. Watch this film in a cool theater (like Sairaja A/C in Hyderabad) to cool off the heat of summer for 1 and half hours. Don't forget to take kids along with you. They need to watch this movie more than you!!
