I am still wondering why Netflix did not choose to release it in the big screen.  Andy Serkis  version of Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (Jungle Book) might have been the millionth take on the legendary tale by Rudyard Kipling but it still surprised me with the an engaging 90 minutes. Big names such as Chritian Bale, Kate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch and Andy Serkis did justice to their roles with perfect voices while young Rohan Chand  gave a compelling performance as the title character. This is not the sweet, funny Jungle book from the Disney version but a darker and more engaging version that tries to combine a lot of stories from the Jungle Book cartoon series immortalized by Disney. The visuals and BGM are also top notch. I would recommend this to anyone who grew up watching Jungle book on the Telly. It's a different, yet entertaining take on the classic. 

A stellar cast, a fluid narrative and no over-the-top Bollywood heroism and lo we have the first India based Netflix  Original that can truly compete with the rest of the world. Before we even go into the details of the series I would like to pause for a moment and express my awe for  Nawazuddin Siddiqui , the true focal point of the entire series.  The series begins with Sartaj Singh ( Saif Ali Khan  ) a honest-downbeat  Mumbai policeman who is going through a rough patch with his peers, superiors and life in whole, getting a call from a notorious gangster Ganesh Gaitonde ( Nawazuddin Siddiqui ) who gets him going on a wild goose chase. Ganesh claims that the country is going to burn in a matter of 25 days and with that he takes his own life. Anjali Mathur ( Radhika Apte ), a RAW analyst chances upon the exchange and joins the hunt with the motive of proving herself as a field agent as well as protecting the country.  Co-directed by Vikrama...
