11.1 Jungle Book "Wolves"
Ayeesha Menon takes Rudyard Kipling’s family classic and gives it a darker twist, re-imagining it in the concrete jungle of present-day India. A gangland coming-of-age fable.Mowgli, the orphan boy at the centre of the story, is being brought up by "the Wolves", a gang of petty criminals in a tenement block in Mumbai and quickly learns how to survive in that world. But when the villainous politician, Tiger Khan threatens Mowgli's life, two residents of the tenement block, "black panther" Bagheera and the "bear" Baloo, offer to help him escape and he embarks on a journey of self-discovery through the city, meeting "creatures" along the way who don't always have his best interests at heart.
