Starring Neel Sethi, Voices of Nana Patekar,Om Puri , Irrfan Khan, Shefali Shah
Directed by Jon Favreau
Rating: ****(4 Stars)
Though parts of the film towards the end becomes excessively crowded and flurried there is a cuddlesome quality to this new large-screen adaptation of the beloved Rudyard Kipling fable about a little boy Mowgli who is brought up in the jungles by animals.
Suspension of disbelief be damned. The animals speak in human voices. The film literally finds its voice on the soundtrack.Every actor has given a unique dimension to one of the principal animals. Bagheera the wise panther becomes a pantheon of prudence in Om Puri’s voice. Priyanka Chopra’s seductive snake act is a bit of a stretch, coiling as it does its hypnotic hold over Mowgli in what seems like an invitation to sniff coke at a rave party. Scarlet Johansson does the serpentine’s saga...
