Welcome to the laugh riot

Murtuza Iqbal

Welcome To The Jungle, which is the third instalment of the Welcome franchise, has hit the big screens. So, is the film worth your time and money? Read on to know that...

The movie starts on a dull note, and for around 30 minutes, it fails to impress us. But later, it picks up very well and turns into a laugh riot. Some scenes will make you laugh out loud, and one-liners deliver the perfect amount of humour.

The second half of Welcome To The Jungle starts on a decent note, but once again, after a few minutes, the hilarious sequences begin, and you will be laughing continuously. The climax of the film is filled with moments that will have you rolling on the floor laughing (ROFL). Also, the references to other movies fit in perfectly.

But yes, there are a few flaws in the movie. If you are planning to watch Welcome To The Jungle, leave your brains at home. Don’t try to look for any logic in the movie. Also, there are continuity issues. A few actors will be seen in one scene, and then in the next scene, they vanish.

Actors’ performance

Akshay Kumar leads the pack, and as usual, he is simply fantastic in the film. He once again proves that when it comes to comedy, no one can beat him. After Akshay, it is Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, and Rajpal Yadav who impress us the most with their performances in the movie. When it comes to the female leads, Farida Jalal and Raveena Tandon have been given the meatiest roles. The former is simply outstanding in the film, and her comic timing is perfect. Meanwhile, Tandon brings the right emotional quotient to the movie.

Jacqueline Fernandez and Disha Patani are decent in their roles. However, Fernandez has a better-written character, and she does grab our attention with her performance in a few comedy scenes. Lara Dutta, in her cameo, is good.

Music 

The songs of Welcome To The Jungle are strictly decent. Apart from Ghis Ghis and Ucha Lamba Kad Forever, no other song leaves a mark.

FPJ verdict

Welcome To The Jungle is undoubtedly one of the best comedy movies that we have seen this year so far. You will laugh so much while watching the movie that tears may come to your eyes, and your cheekbones might start hurting.
