Worth a Look
Who Will Like It?
Fans of Sandeep Raj’s previous work like Colour Photo will appreciate the emotional depth. It is ideal for viewers who enjoy rustic, small-town (and forest-based) love stories with a blend of raw action and soulful music.
Watch / Why to Watch
• Roshan Kanakala’s Performance: After his debut in Bubble Gum, Roshan delivers a more grounded and physically demanding performance as a "son of the wild."
• Unique Romance: The chemistry between the protagonist and a hearing-impaired junior artist (Jasmine) provides a fresh, sensitive take on romance.
• Music by Kaala Bhairava: The soundtrack and background score are major highlights, adding significant emotional weight to the forest setting.
• The Antagonist: Actor-director Bandi Saroj Kumar plays a ruthless cop, creating a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game in the second half.
Verdict
Mowgli (2025) is a heartfelt survival drama that successfully blends a tender love story with rugged action. While the pacing in the middle may feel slow for some, the strong performances and technical brilliance make it a worthy New Year watch on OTT.
