Release and reception
Mowgli was initially scheduled to release on 12 December 2025,[5] but was released on 13 December 2025.[6][7]
Srivathsan Nadadhur of The Hindu appreciated Saroj Kumar's performance while being critical towards overall writing.[8] OTTPlay too echoed the same and rated it 2 out of 5.[9] BH Harsh of Cinema Express too gave the same rating and wrote that, "Mowgli goes for intense payoff moments without building the stakes prior to it. This is precisely why the film’s attempts to channel the mythological symbols fall flat".[10]
