‘Asterix and Obelix’ are characters that entire generations have grown up with. This French comic series was started in 1959 by René Gossini. French director Claude Zidi made the first film on it in 1999, titled Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar. The movie was so popular that three more Asterix and Obelix movies were made until 2012. These films also retained the fantasy story of Asterix and Obelix. Now after a long time, they are returning to the big screen once again in the film ‘Asterix and Obelix the Middle Kingdom’. This film has already been released in its original language i.e. French in February. But now going to India, this movie is releasing in English, Hindi and Tamil languages in India.

Weak story of the main characters
Asterix and Obelix are characters that people are emotionally attached to. And, where emotions are involved, even a small mistake can cost the film. And that’s what happened. The story of the film revolves around Asterix and Obelix but here the film focuses more on the Chinese princess. Fans of the series look forward to Dhansu action throughout the film. However, no major action scenes were seen till late. This film named after Asterix and Obelix does not do justice to the characters of these two. And, in this case its story, screenplay and dialogue writing team seems to have failed.
