In the year 2016, the film Jungle Book based on the same tale got released and emerged as a huge blockbuster all over the world. Now, this film of Netflix is another attempt to recreate the fictional tale, hoping to have an even better reception among the audience. Warner Bros. who was about to release the film, sold the rights to Netflix which made it as a Netflix film with a limited theatrical release.

The idea of releasing some films of Netflix in theatres is a great move from the streaming giants to give their attendance into the Oscar race. Roma which has got all the potential to own some awards is ready to take part in the Academy Awards campaign after its theatrical release. More such films can be seen in future by Netflix, as the independent filmmaking would garner a solid recognition in the award ceremonies.
