The Jungle Book is an action adventure tale of Mowgli, a man-cub who's been raised by a family of wolves. Mowgli's peaceful life is threatened when Sher Khan promises to kill him. Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey with Bagheera and meets the fun loving bear Baloo. He also meets a python whose seductive voice and gaze can hypnotize anyone and the gigantic King Louie.
This is surely a larger than life film. The ruined temple where we see an obese orang-utan, the terrifying landslides, or the buffalo stampedes take us into a mesmerizing tour of the jungle which leave us enchanted and thrilled.
Principal photography took place entirely in sound stages at Los Angeles Center Studio. The animal characters were created entirely in key frame computer animation with the assistance of footage of real animal movement, the actors recording their lines, and performance capture for reference. Neel Sethi, the film's only real character has given a remarkable performance. In Hindi version for the way Mowgli uses his brain to tackle problems, the word 'jugaad' is used which got many claps from the audiences. Nana Patekar did the voice over in deep menacing tones where as Irfan Khan was bright and jovial making us laugh in every scene. Priyanka Chopra's voice was the most unrecognizable.
Around 1,000 remote jungle locations in India were photographed and used as reference in post-production.
The film collected 74 Crores in a week in India which is huge considering Kapoor and sons collected similar amount in 3 weeks and Ki and Ka has collected just 50 crores in 2 weeks.
It will open in key markets like China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, and the United States today and predictions are that it will get a 400 crores plus opening.
In a line, while growing up all of you must have seen 'The Jungle Book' serial on Doordarshan , so this time take your kids along with you and relive those memories.
Good one time watch.
