Junglee
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.
-
...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.
-
...is a clichéd revenge drama and reminiscent of the 80s and 90s action fare.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The elephants are on point but the humans have the depth of cartoon characters.
-
...is a disappointment and it gets bigger when we see the name of Chuck Russell.
-
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.
-
Russell’s Hindi language action thriller has the right intention, but much is lost between intent and execution.
-
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?
-
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.
-
...makes an unpalatable mess of it all.
