Mowgli 2025 Review: Visuals Shine, But Predictable Plot Drags in Stretched Love Drama.

Mowgli 2025 is a Telugu romantic action drama released on December 12, 2025, directed by Sandeep Raj and starring Roshan Kanakala. It unfolds in Parvathipuram with a mix of love, chase sequences, and mythological undertones, earning mixed reviews for its visuals amid a predictable plot.​

Storyline

Mowgli, or Murali Krishna, grows up as an orphan in Parvathipuram, dreaming of becoming a police officer like his late father. He supplies junior artists for film shoots and falls for Jasmine, a deaf and mute dancer, bonding over shared traits like large feet. Complications arise from a lecherous producer and later a ruthless cop named Christopher Nolan, forcing the couple into forest chases tied to a curse and devotional elements inspired by Ramayana.​

Positives

Sakshi Mhadolkar excels with expressive silent performance, carrying emotional weight effectively. Bandi Saroj Kumar dominates as the menacing villain, adding intensity to confrontations. Harsha Chemudu provides solid comic relief as Mowgli’s friend.​

Negatives

The narrative feels stretched and clichéd, recycling old tropes like villainous pursuits from films such as Jayam and Varsham. Mythological insertions appear forced and disconnected, with dull emotions and lack of tension. Lengthy 2h40m runtime and repetitive villainy tire viewers.​

Technicalities

Strong production values shine through rich visuals and cinematography, especially in forest sequences. Action by Natraj Madigonda works well, but Kaala Bhairava’s music lacks catchiness, and editing fails to trim excesses.​

Rating : 1.75/5​

Final Verdict

A visually appealing but monotonous love drama that fails to innovate, suitable only for fans of the cast despite technical merits.​
