Kaadu is an Indian science fiction adventure film released in 1952.
The movie is based on the earlier American film "The Jungle", which was itself titled as Kaadu for its Indian release.
The story follows Princess Sati, who returns home to India as regent after her father's request from his council. The ministers inform her that villages are being destroyed by dangerous elephant stampedes.
Rama Singh is sent into the jungle with a team led by famous hunter Steve Bentley to combat this issue. Tragically, only Bentley returns alive from the expedition.
He reveals that the stampedes are caused by prehistoric mammoths, leading to guilt for Singh as one of his hired hunters, including his own brother, perished in the jungle.
In response to another devastating raid, Sita decides she and Singh must personally venture into the jungle to find and stop these rogue elephants.
