This is a complete movie version of the Jungle Book. Some of the English is not very easy, but it helps if you can read it on the screen. The first ten minutes are rather boring to listen to.
Click on the red timeline to choose 10:15. The movie becomes more interesting at this time. Here is some of the dialog:
[ Crowd Chattering ]
You cannot build your houses just anywhere.
[ Chattering In Native Language ]
We have to plan out our village.
[ Chattering Continues ]
Someday there will be a mighty city here.
[ Chattering Excitedly]
A mighty city with marble houses. The
temple shall be there, facing the marketplace.
That's where I wanted the bean patch.
No that's for the marketplace, as Buldeo
says. And the barbershop will face the temple.
I shall find some place for the bean
patches anyway-
outside your mighty city.
Go Durga. Take the child and the old man to
the cart.

We're going to have a marketplace and a
temple and a mighty city.

Poor mother
Is it every woman who can have a wolf nurse
her baby for her?
Oh yes memsahib.
And His Excellency your father, has many
records of wolf children from the Indian hills. It is true.
True.
In the beginning was it not written that
the she-wolves loved the children of man? Were not the wolves the foster
parents Of many a child in India?
Little naked and bold the man's Cub entered the wolves' Cave.
Ahai.
He felt just as much at home with the cubs
as at his mother's side.
