Punyakoti is for non-Sanskrit speakers

Cinema is mostly an entertainment and communication medium. In rare cases an educational tool. Cinema combines emotions, sound, visuals to deliver a powerful impression that lasts forever.

When Jungle Book and Lion King were released, I went to watch it as a child. My parents took me. Not because I knew English or they wanted me to learn English. But because it was entertaining.

After that soon I started speaking the dialogues in those movies, I never understood what they meant. But I liked the sound of it.

I can assure, if you can make your kids watch Punyakoti, they will pick up the dialogues and keep repeating it. And at some point in life they will feel that Sanskrit is a familiar language and will discover the treasures on the other side of it.

So take them to watch it. They don't need to understand it. Like the working of a medicine need not be understood to make it work. It will do its work anyways.
