'Mufasa: The Lion King' OTT release: Where and when to watch the animated Disney movie? Check details
Mufasa: The Lion King', directed by Oscar-winning Moonlight filmmaker Barry Jenkins, is a prequel to 2019's «live action» remake of The Lion King. The movie takes the viewers back to a time when Mufasa and Taka — as Scar was once known — were but young cubs roaming the plains together. The tale is told in flashback to Kiara (Blue Ivy Carter, making her acting debut), the young offspring of Simba (Donald Glover) and Nala (Beyoncé), who've left their daughter — and the rest of the movie — in the babysitting paws of Timon (Billy Eichner), Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) and the wise mandrill Rafiki (John Kani).
Amid high anticipation, Mufasa: The Lion King opened to mixed reviews from the critics. However, the advance booking report for the opening day looked impressive. According to a tweet by trade analyst Sumit Kadel, Mufasa: The Lion King is expected to open to a whopping nett collection of somewhere between Rs 10-12 cr in India amid the Pushpa 2 craze, reports Filmibeat.
