Those 'Samosas' often use a wording that makes me smirk... a Saturday is still weekend, even after a 'holiday' (yes, Taran - as to me since a while - has become dependant on some masters' voices)...

I finally watched the film, and it’s definitely better than what the trailer suggested. The biggest plus is the nonstop gags and jokes that keep coming, ensuring you’re never bored. The name Ahmed Khan was a major red flag for me, considering he has directed some of the worst films in recent times, but he delivers a decent mindless comedy this time around.

The film has a shaky start, with everything before Akshay’s entry coming across as a complete farce. The whole concept of deliberately making a flop film to claim a tax write-off isn’t very convincing. However, things pick up considerably once Akshay arrives. He absolutely steals the show with his performance. The backstory explaining how he and Disha broke up due to a misunderstanding is also quite engaging.

The real fun begins with the training sequences, which are genuinely entertaining and leave you with a smile on your face. The rivalry between Akshay and Suniel Shetty is particularly hilarious. The entire plot is utterly absurd, but you don’t really mind because the film succeeds in entertaining throughout.

The second half is better than the first. The extended climax set in the jungle is rip-roaringly funny. Another highlight is the surprise entry of a gang of ex-army officers, which adds to the madness and works well.

On the flip side, those who don’t enjoy mindless comedies are likely to be disappointed. The film takes suspension of disbelief to another level. A simple conversation between the villagers and the film crew could have resolved the entire conflict, but the comedy of errors is stretched far longer than necessary. The runtime also feels excessive, with several sequences dragging on.

Despite boasting a massive ensemble cast, almost everyone gets a chance to leave an impression. Akshay is undoubtedly the showstopper. His comic timing is second to none, and the portions where his character has a speech defect are laugh-out-loud funny. He carries the film effortlessly on his shoulders.

Suniel Shetty is dependable, although his reprising of the Awara Paagal Deewana role feels annoying at times. Arshad Warsi is consistently funny, while Aftab Shivdasani fits his role well. Johnny Lever elevates the film with yet another superb comic performance. Kirron Kher provides several laugh-out-loud moments, while Jackie Shroff is menacing and entertaining in equal measure.

Among the female cast, Disha Patani is the primary heroine and looks absolutely bewitching. Jacqueline Fernandez has her moments. Raveena Tandon gets a substantial role and makes full use of it, whereas Lara Dutta has very little to do.

Overall, Welcome to the Jungle is better than you expect it to be. It’s an enjoyable time-pass entertainer for those who like brainless comedies. If you’re looking for logic, this isn’t the film for you. But if you’re simply in the mood to switch off your brain and have a few laughs, it delivers.

Rating: 3/5

Back to back 2 clean hits for Akki, Haiwaan is also looking like it will be a hit.
