E.A.P. Films is presenting ‘The Jungle Book’ at Savoy 3D Cinema from 15 April.
The Jungle Book is an upcoming 2016 American fantasy adventure comedy film. Based on Rudyard Kipling’s collective works of the same name, the film is a live-action/CGI reimagining of Walt Disney’s 1967 animated film of the same name.
Plot: Mowgli is a human boy raised by the Indian wolves Raksha and Akela ever since he was a baby and brought to them by Bagheera the Black Panther. When the fearsome scarred Bengal tiger Shere Khan threatens his life since man isn’t allowed in the jungle, Mowgli leaves his jungle home. Guided by Bagheera and Baloo the bear, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery while evading the man-hunting Shere Khan.
Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who do not exactly have his best interests at heart including Kaa the python and the smooth-talking Bornean orangutan-resembling Gigantopithecus King Louie, who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly “red flower”.
