Welcome To The Jungle Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE is a madcap, no-holds-barred comic entertainer that works due to its brainrot humour, grand scale, massy moments and unexpected developments. The film is not for those seeking logic or subtlety. However, its unabashed madness and crowd-pleasing moments give it a strong chance to find favour in mass centres. At the box office, it can emerge as a wholesome entertainer for viewers looking for paisa-vasool fun.Read at source

After winning hearts with his performance in Bhooth Bangla, which was a horror comedy, he is now grabbing eyeballs for his next release Welcome To The Jungle.Read at source
Otherwise, though, Welcome To The Jungle shines in the performance department. It leans heavily on Akshay Kumar’s effortless chemistry with his Hera Pheri team- Paresh, Rajpal and Suniel Shetty. Arshad Warsi doesn't have a lot to do here, but he adds some fun. Additionally, Farida Jalal as Badi Bi is outstanding, showing off brilliant comic timing, as does Kiran Kumar as Murad Chacha. Together, they bring the house down.Read at source

Welcome To The Jungle is not a flawless comedy. It is overcrowded, noisy and often indulgent.Read at source
