One of the biggest childhood adventure tales, The Jungle Book has just resurrected at the big screen. Audiences of all ages thronged cinemas with eagerness to get a glimpse of their favourite character, Mowgli.

This film epitomises the real throwback, which has become trendy these days.  Animation films have commanded a huge fanbase because of epic adventures like Snow White, Tarzan, The Lion King, Beauty And The Beast as well as the one in discussion before new millennium cartoons such as Ben 10 stole the limelight.

Walt Disney studios recently released the 2016 American action, adventure, fantasy reboot of The Jungle Book and currently a leading chart-topping movie in the world. The film is a book adaptation of Rudyard Kiplinghis’ timeless  adventures of Mowgli, an abandoned ‘man-cub’, who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle.  In this latest experience Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a man-cub who is raised by a family of wolves, learns he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger, Shere Khan (Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he has ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor, Bagheera (Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear, Baloo (Bill Murray).
