Mogul Mowgli (2020)
5/10
It was okay
30 December 2020
A man develops a muscle disorder that deters him from his big break in music.

We follow a rapper whose been trying to get his break for almost 20 years. He finally gets his chance when he suddenly can't move by himself and learns that he has a autoimmune disease.

I didn't think the rapping was all that good. The lyrics were okay but the flow lacked authenticity. It didn't surprise me that he hadn't reached his big break in 15 years. I didn't buy him as someone who genuinely loves hip hop. His other movie ''Sound of Metal was more convincing. His rival RPG has more success simply because he has catchy beats. He's the indian lil pump. Trash lyrics and decent beats while making a mockery of black culture.

Dream sequences were awkward, i didn't like them although it did do a good job illustrating his internal frustration. I know when I'm stressed about life, i dream about my stress and it makes me even more stressed.

Lead's performance was great. Amazing actor he carried the movie well despite the not so great rapping. His performance saved the movie and overall highlight.

My biggest nightmare is something going horribly wrong with my body that prevents me from following my dreams. Best part of the movie was him dealing with his career and panicking and basically his rival stealing his spotlight once again. I wish it had more of these types of scenes and cut short the dream sequences.
