Synopsis

Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Sher Khan (voice of Nana Patekar), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Om Puri), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Irrfan Khan). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Priyanka Chopra), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Bugs Bhargava), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.
