A short,sweet film based on the fable by Rudyard Kipling.That is the 2016 adaptation of The Jungle Book,in a nutshell.With commendable acting by Neel Sethi, astounding animation and dubbing,the film will surely appeal to all audiences.Not to mention we have Priyanka Chopra giving voice to the serpent 'Kaa' in this film(in the upcoming Hindi version)and the likes of Ben Kingsley(Bagheera) and Idris Elba(Shere Khan).The film is definitely sans the usual drudgery of remakes,which makes it all the more worthwhile.
Today, I got a chance to behold the changing art scene in my country, on attending a film festival of sorts.Filmmakers seem to be reacting to the noise on and off celluloid, through mostly silent creations.I list a few of my favourites here: A Beast Called Beauty - directed by Aakanksha Chitkara Maybe because I am a woman living at a time when India is renowned for objectification of and heinous crimes against women, this documentary film struck me the most and inspired this post.The film voices the common woes of our sex racked by the rigid concepts of beauty set by the society; a situation only worsened by the marketing techniques of fairness creams and other beauty products.However,the movie ends on a happy note, with the featured females professing to have realised that they have accepted who they are, and are content with themselves.I hope every girl out there does the same.
