This film adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic has been a children’s favourite for generations. Starring celebrated Indian actor Sabu, it brings alive the sensational story which is known and loved by so many. It is the tale of ‘man-cub’ Mowgli as he grows up among the animals of the jungle, exploring Mowgli’s empathy with the natural world and the challenges he faces when presented with fellow humans.
Sabu’s portrayal of the central character and the delightful direction of this children’s classic make it as watchable, popular and fresh today as when it was made in 1942.
