The journey that began with millions of views per episode on the Pogo channel is officially taking a monumental leap to the silver screen. After capturing the hearts of children and families nationwide with their smash-hit television series Jay Jagannath, Ele Animations Pvt. Ltd. is scaling up its original IP into a grand, multi-lingual theatrical feature film titled Mahaprabhu Jagannath.
Planned for a massive pan-India release across 300+ screens in Hindi, Odia, and Telugu through a strategic collaboration with Cinepolis, this cinematic milestone serves as the official foundation for an even larger vision: the launch of the Sanatan Universe.
Rooted in rich devotional storytelling and Indian cultural imagination, Mahaprabhu Jagannath is designed as a wholesome family entertainer that seamlessly blends world-class animation with profound spiritual wisdom.
The film takes a deep dive into the sacred lore of Lord Jagannath, presenting a treasure trove of cultural lessons and timeless values. Tailored beautifully for younger audiences through vibrant, child-friendly visuals, the narrative maintains a deep emotional accessibility that ensures a heartwarming, magical experience for adults and kids alike. Moving far beyond the boundaries of traditional television animation, it is a grand cinematic celebration of faith, heritage, and divine adventure.
Reflecting on the vision behind bringing this divine saga to the silver screen, Durga Prasad Dalai said, “Our journey began with a vision to bring the divine stories of Mahaprabhu Jagannath to every household through animation. After seeing the overwhelming love our series received, taking this to the big screen was the natural next step. This film is not just about entertainment; it’s about passing on our rich heritage and values to the next generation in a way that is fun, engaging, and visually stunning.”
