Mowgli himself is acutely aware of his own severe shortcomings. With Bagheera hot on his trail, he has to come out in one piece - a feat easier said than achieved. Under the tutelage of Baloo, the man-cub learns the art of survival in the jungle but when he is thrown into the 'Running' test that will decide if he will earn the right to hunt with the pack of wolves led by the ageing Akela, he inevitably falters.
It features the voices of, among others, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Serkis, Tom Hollander and Naomie Harris, besides onscreen appearances by Freida Pinto, Matthew Rhys and Indian American child actor Rohan Chand in the titular role.īaloo has prepared Mowgli for the worst but is he ready for the jungle? #Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, now streaming post shared by anilskapoor on at 1:27am PST The star power of the Hindi version of Mowgli: Legend Of The Jungle matches that of the all-star ensemble of the original international production. That film, helmed by Jon Favreau, also bowed in India in Hindi, with the likes of Irrfan Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Om Puri, Nana Patekar and Shefali Shah joining the voice cast. Only two and half years ago, audiences were treated to Disney's live action update of the animated The Jungle Book, which the studio made nearly half a century ago. But owing to the outstanding quality of the motion capture work on show, this film possesses all the heft that it needs to get its subterranean point across. The violence in the film is occasionally too stark and startling and the protagonist's struggle to come to terms with the world of wolves while trying to make sense of his human origins assumes a disquieting quality. Mowgli: Legend Of The Jungle isn't quite the kind of family viewing one expects man-cub Mowgli's adventures among a pack of wolves to be.
Serkis, known for his motion capture performances in the Lord Of The Rings films and the Planet Of The Apes prequel trilogy, brings his skills in, and knowledge of, the game to bear upon the film's extraordinary CGI inputs.
