The Jungle Book (2016)
The American adventure drama film, The Jungle Book (2016), was directed and produced by Jon Favreau with a screenplay by Justin Marks. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, it is a live-action/CGI remake of the 1967 animated feature film of the same name, based on Rudyard Kipling’s works. Mowgli, a ‘man cub’, was adopted by the wolf Raksha and her pack in an Indian jungle as a baby, under the care of Bagheera, the black panther. As he grows up, Bagheera trains him to learn the ways of the wolves, but Mowgli faces challenges and falls behind his siblings. Akela, the pack leader, disapproves of his use of human tricks instead of following pack traditions. During a drought, all jungle animals gather to drink water without fear due to a truce. However, this peace is disrupted when Shere Khan, a scarred tiger who harbors resentment towards mankind, arrives and threatens to kill Mowgli once the drought ends. The wolves debate whether they should keep Mowgli or not after the drought comes to an end.
In the dense jungle, the intelligent black panther, Bagheera, takes pity on a deserted infant named Mowgli. Trusting in the wolves Akela, the bold Alpha male, and Raksha, the cautious she-wolf, he leaves the helpless orphan under their care. Raised by wolves but born of man, Mowgli quickly learns to survive with his pack and under Bagheera’s watchful eye. However, during a ‘water truce, he catches the attention of Shere Khan, a fierce Bengal tiger with a taste for meat. The savage beast vows to kill Mowgli before he can grow into a man and endanger the jungle. Fearing Shere Khan’s threat, Mowgli parts ways with his pack to find refuge in the lush forest. There, he discovers that amidst both friends and foes reside in this vast green maze. Poor Mowgli has no claws or sharp teeth and hardly any fur – how will he manage to survive?
