The Elephant Whisperers

Some stories are simple yet complex because they are storming with emotions. This is one of them and making a film that connects with the masses becomes a challenge. Elephant Whisperers conquers this challenge because of some great direction, exquisite story telling, super camera work and great music. Human animal relationships weaved in the wonderful landscape of Mudumalai with a strong message of elephant conservation in India to end with, this is a complete winner. One feels like personally going and meeting this ele couple and ofcourse Raghu and Ammu

Well done team and ofcourse it's a must watch.

I started watching this when i was feeling low but there was such a calmness about this doucmentary. Such a simple story yet told in such an intricate fashion. Hats off to the cinematography team for capturing the beauty of wildlife reserve in Tamil Nadu , each shot better than the previous. The innocence of the baby elephants and the parallel to the connection between humans and their babies being same as elephants and their caretakers is shown very aptly.

In a world where animal cruely is increasing day by day, this a truly a story, a story of love and affection, which needs to get out and be seen. I highly recommend everyone to give it a watch!

Such an inspirational and beautiful story between the bond of an elephant and his two so very kind caretakers. The fantastic story, footage, and soundtrack together created such a magical and emotional film that will leave you smiling throughout except for one tiny part where you may become a little teary-eyed. It also beautifully sheds light into stunning tribal villages in India and how they co-exist with nature - something we need to starting doing as well!! Apart from showcasing a spectacular bond it also underscores the importance of elephant conservation and instills a deep sense of gratitude for the amazing people working towards making a difference. I seriously recommend watching it!

At a time like this when the world is so much in turmoil it is easy to get disheartened. Once in a while, though, you run across a movie that will pull at your heartstrings and make you realize that there is still goodness in the world. This movie will make you break out in smiles knowing that there are some very special people in the world who are kind and devoted to helping raise 2 baby elephants. I am so happy I found it on Netflix. I recommend it highly! I myself have already watched it twice and told all my friends and family about it! Kudos to the Director, wildlife photographer Kartiki Gonsalves, and her film crew for making this charming movie and bringing it to the world.

Incredibly moving documentary about a couple in Southern India who foster orphaned elephants. The film does a phenomenal job of providing environmental, societal, and historical context to a heartwarming story. The elephants are undoubtedly the stars of the film - their mischief, gentle nature, and unconditional affection display a human child-like character that only makes you smile. Where the viewer is truly lucky is that the couple is able to translate exactly what the elephant is thinking, doing, or feeling in a way that a parent can for a child. The best thing about this short documentary is that it has something for everyone. A must watch.
