Is the Jungle Book too scary?

Disney's new Jungle Book film is released worldwide next week, and across India from this Friday - April 8th. But India's film censors say it's too scary for children to watch alone and have given it a U/A certificate. The film's music composer Vishal Bhardwaj says "there is nothing in it which will frighten the kids". We ask Mumbai-based film critic Rajeev Masand for his verdict.
