Are you a ‘90s kid? If yes, then you will remember the children’s anthem ‘Jungle jungle baat chali hai’ from Doordarshan’s hit TV series Jungle Book. The song is back to make you nostalgic, with the same team of composers Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Gulzar onboard.

The latest version of the song has been voiced by Jia Wadkar, Yuvika Chaudhury, Abhirup Dass, Vatsala Mishra, Shaksham Karia, Rashi Salil Harmalkar, Avishkar Yogesh Khot and Oushnik Majumdar, and it guarantees to transport you right back to your childhood.

It is unclear whether the song will be part of the Hindi version of the Hollywood film The Jungle Book or not, but with actors like Irrfan, Nana Patekar and Priyanka lending their voices for the dubbed version, it does seem possible.
