Junglee- Movie Review
Starring: Vidyut Jammwal;
Director: Chuck Russell;
Junglee, who is direct-lee related to Bruce Lee loves elephants. He probably watched Haathi Mere Saathi many times during his childhood and grew up befriendship a forest-ful of elephants, one of whom Bhola is our Junglee Hero’s special buddy. Their reunion sequence is as elaborate as Devdas returning to Paro from London in Sanjay Bhansali’s Devdas.
Tragically, Junglee is directed by a foreigner who gets the privilege to helm a project toplined by a sinewy muscular hero who has father issues. Dad wants Jung- Lee to look after the family business, namely elephant raring. But Jung-lee wants to do his own thing, and that includes some heavyduty kalaripayuttu in scenic Kerala. The film looks green. But feels dry and colourless.
