The movie stars Anupam Kher, Makarand Deshpande, Sanjay Bishnoi, and Yagya Bhasin in the lead roles.

The story follows Bheem and his friends as they travel back 1000 years to Sonapur to prevent the Evil Demon Damyaan from achieving immortality. As they race against time, the ultimate battle with Damyaan will decide the fate of humanity.

Story:

The movie begins with the threat of Damyaan’s rise. Skandi and Takshika visit the ruins of Sonapur to summon him, only to learn they need a pure-hearted and brave soul to awaken Damyaan. The story then shifts to Chhota Bheem’s heroics, as he fights wolves in a snowy mountain landscape. Dum Hai background music enhances every frame. Meanwhile, in Dholakpur, Kalia, Dholu Bholu, Chutki, Jaggu, and Raju are causing havoc with their mischievous activities.

Once Bheem returns to Dholakpur, Raja Indravarma directs him and his friends to explore Sonapur, a land rich in gold and made from magic. They fall into Skandi and Takshika's trap, and Damyaan is unleashed. Bheem must now fight Damyaan with the help of Guru Shambhu, who defeated him 1,000 years ago. The second half focuses on how Chhota Bheem and his friends travel back 1,000 years to prevent Damyaan from carrying out his evil plans.

The phenomenal actor Anupam Kher’s portrayal of Guru Shambu is noteworthy, appealing to both young and older audiences. Supporting actors Makrand Deshpande, Navneet Kaur, Megha Chilaka, and Mukesh Chhabra add depth to their roles. Yagya Bhasin, playing the titular role, delivers a strong performance.

Direction:
