To the moviegoers’ surprise once again, love stories have ruled the OTT platforms, and the most significant instance of this is Mowgli, which has become a craze in just a few hours following its premiere digitally. Until now, the audience was most likely attracted to fear and suspense films but love tales are reclaiming their lost ground very strongly on the internet now.
Mowgli presents Roshan Kanakala in the lead, the son of renowned TV anchor Suma. The director, Sandeep Raj, a National Award winner and an experienced director, is praised for his previous, highly creative work in Color Photo in particular. The picture, however, didn’t get much public notice at the box office despite having a screen run last December.
The film, after premiering on ETV Win for OTT viewers on January 1, 2026, has made a big comeback with the New Year festivities and has thus acquired a fresh fan base. Mowgli has been the most viewed and downloaded feature on the platform since the day of its release, and many of its segments have become a rage on the social media.
The story is about a small boy who is raised in the forest like an animal and treats the wild as his home. He meets a silent girl who has come to the jungle for a film shoot and his fate changes forever. The situation escalates with the entry of a ruthless cop who forces Mowgli to take extremely perilous measures to rescue his beloved.
Kumar Bandi Saroj, the villain that he is, has won over the audience with his acting skills and one of the plus points of the film is that he is the lead actor. Madolkar Sakshi plays the female lead, while Harsha Viva and Bhagwan Krishna are present in major supporting roles. People’s Media Factory produces the film and it had its OTT release just 17 days after its theatrical release.
With its heartwarming story and distinctive location, Mowgli is rapidly winning over the romance audience on OTT.
