Critic reviews and ratings

  • Watch Junglee for its spellbinding action, cute elephants and gorgeous jungles. Such an adventurous and brave attempt is rare in Hindi cinema.

  • It’s obvious that his (Chuck Russell) intentions here were to furnish the man-animal conflict and apprise one of the ramifications. But much seems to be lost in translation.

  • Atul Kulkarni, who shows up as the antagonist, is superb. However, everything else around here is amateurish.

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is an action-packed adventure which also tells us that we share this planet with lots of different species, who have an equal right to it...

  • Director Chuck Russell leaves a lot of loose ends in the film, making this movie a gimmicky affair.

    49

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is a clichéd revenge drama and reminiscent of the 80s and 90s action fare.

    Critic rating (?)

  • The scenes between Jammwal and elephants of various sizes are the best thing about Junglee, after its plea to halt the poaching of the gentle giants.

    Critic rating (?)

  • With a runtime of 115 minutes, this thriller feels longer than it should. You will miss the deft direction that Russell displayed in his previous outings, The Mask and The Scorpion King.

    Critic rating (?)

  • While it is undoubtedly a decent watch, Junglee needed more madness, more unadulterated fun, and... obviously, more of those cute elephants, making themselves comfortable around a high-flying Vidyut.

    Critic rating (?)

  • The elephants are on point but the humans have the depth of cartoon characters.

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...is a disappointment and it gets bigger when we see the name of Chuck Russell.

    Critic rating (?)

  • There’s not one ounce of complexity in the movie, unspooling in such a linear fashion that even two-year-olds would have no difficulty in understanding it. Maybe that’s the demographic the film will appeal to, with its bright colours and straight-forward story-line, and a smiling hero who can take on an army of scowling bad guys single-handedly.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • Russell’s Hindi language action thriller has the right intention, but much is lost between intent and execution.

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • There is a sweet stray dog and magnificent tuskers and an unintended nostalgia unleashed for Haathi Mere Saathi. I came out raving about Kulkarni's fitness and agility and Jammwal’s voice and jawline. But that wasn’t quite the point of the film, was it?

    39

    Critic rating (?)

  • It would of course be too much to expect subtlety and other niceties from a turgid movie that cannot even do justice to the pack of pachyderms that it employs in order to acquire heft.

    29

    Critic rating (?)

  • ...makes an unpalatable mess of it all.
