Explanation

Benu is a young boy who enjoys playing with his toy animals. One Sunday, he shares his dream with his grandma, saying he wants to live in a jungle and be friends with a lion. His grandma laughs and decides to help him create a jungle at home. She opens an umbrella and places it on the floor, calling it the lion's den where Benu puts his toy lion. 

Then, Benu places his toy tiger under a chair, which he calls the tiger's cave. Benu’s grandma asks where the trees for the monkeys are, and Benu cleverly says the curtains can be the trees. Later, Benu fills a plastic tub with water to make a lake and places a turtle inside. His grandma praises his idea. 

The fun continues as Benu’s mother, father, and grandma join in. Benu becomes a bear, his grandma acts like an elephant with her hand as a trunk, his mother becomes a deer, and his father turns into a giant. They all play together in their homemade jungle and have a lot of fun.
