What's entertaining is that this animal kingdom is a product
of Bollywood (they should've moved to Film City studios,
instead). They do action scenes in slow-mo (inspired by 'Ek
Tha Tiger', maybe), sing romantic duets, dance garba, say
dialogues like, "Mere paas maa hai", and exchange jaadu ki
jhappi (Munnabhai chale jungle mein, haan?). There are also
creatures like a parinda with 'Ghajini'-like tattoos under
his wing, a bat (called Batman) who impersonates Dev saab,
and an evil hyena called Kaalia (Prem Chopra) who sings
Tandoori Nights (die-hard Himesh Reshammiya fan). And guess
what, these worldly-wise animals talk about casting couches,
and saas-bahu tele-shows too (more power to Ekta Kapoor!)
That's not it. They give live bytes to the media and make
headlines (thankfully, they aren't tweeting yet).
With satire, spoof, humour and wit, director, Nikhil Advani
has highlighted the ongoing aadmi v/s animal battle, the
desperate need for preservation of wildlife and the downside
of deforestation. His creatures entertain and tell the story
in true Bollywood style (too many songs and too much drama
'foxes' the plot). The problem is, he doesn't cut to the
chase, and it turns out to be more like a long safar than a
safari. The 3D effects are striking in parts and amongst the
best we've seen in India, but few scenes are deja vu 'Lion
King'. Alex and Bajrangi with their histrionics and rip
-'roaring' banter are the stars of this show. While the
cartoon creatures will appeal to kids, there's more for
adults here. The 'real' Men of the jungle that is.
