From Hanuman to Ganesha to Mowgli, India too has seen popular fantasy characters generate wide-scale interest. But then, all these characters failed to make a global impact. They could not in fact survive the changing tastes and trends

yes I agree comparing Harry Potter who is a worldwide hero with our mythological characters is not correct, these characters dont have global appeal and for that matter there would be and definitely are many such charaters and figures specific to each country.

But then the point is that even the films made on local characters gain or are able to spin that much as they should. Recently released Ganesha had reviews that pointed out that the movie was not up to the mark, I think rather than comparing with Harry Potter's popularity, more imp is to achieve perfection and making sure that ever lasting impact is made on those little impressionable minds and not just that the movie is enjoyed by each and everyone in the family!
