I love this movie so much
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
WARNING: The Following Review May Offend Animal Rights Activists, So If You Are One, I Suggest You Get Your Ass Off This Page.Spoilers Are Likely (Not Like You Frankly Give A Damn)Where To Start With This One?We Travel To India, Where A Wildlife Reserve Is Being Cleared Out For A Residential Development. Several Of The Reserve's Animals, Including It's Queen And Prince, Set Out To Capture A Parrot Who Can Talk To Humans, And Are Able To Persuade Him To Go With Them To India's Capital Of Delhi To Get The Project Cancelled.To Say It Basically, Delhi Safari Is An Unoriginal Trainwreck.The Main Thing That Bugs Me About This Film Is That It's WAY Too Derivative And There Is Almost NO Sign Of Originality. First, The "King" Of The Jungle Is Killed And Returns To His Son As A Ghost, Which Mirrors The Lion King (Don't Forget The Hyena Scene). Next, The Parrot Is Flightless, Something Some Consider To Mirror The First Rio. The Film's Overall Plot And Themes Also Eerily Mimic The Madagascar And Happy Feet Franchises. The Musical Number "All-Day, Party, Dance" Is (To Me) This Movie's Only Somewhat Poignant Redeeming Factor As It Is Pretty Catchy And Does Not Have Any Lyrics That Mention Humans Or Have A Huge Effect On The Anti-Human Plot.Speaking Of Which, Let's Break Down The Chorus Of "A Mighty Forest There Is Not," Shall We?"Oh, Yes, Yes, Yes, There Used To Be...But Then Came Humanity."That ALONE Relays The Message That This Movie Is Nothing But An Hour And A Half's Worth Of PETA Propaganda That Looks Like Something Ingrid Newkirk Assembled Herself Just To Slam Down Your Throat About How Evil Humans Are. On Top Of That, PETA Tries To Further Push Their Agenda With The Scenes Involving Deforestization, Right Down To The Parrot's Climactic Monologue.In Conclusion, I Really Hate Delhi Safari. The Plot Is A Mess, Driven Mostly By The Anti-Human Rhetoric That Reeks In Almost Every Scene. The Screenplay Is Abhorrent, And Right From The Start Every Line Tells You Exactly What This Movie Is: An Animal Rights Propaganda Film Which Rips Off The Screenplays Of Numerous Other Movies To Look Like A Coherent Film. The Cast Was Completely WASTED, With Big Names Such As Tara Strong, Vanessa Williams, Jane Lynch, Christopher Lloyd, Cary Elwes, Tom Kenny, Troy Baker And Several Others Being Brought In, Most Likely To Give The Film Publicity. The Animation And Design Were A Mess, Giving Us Things Like A Parrot With TEETH, And Finally, The Characters Were Forgettable And Lacked Any Charm Required For Me To Like Them. All In All, This Is An Easy 1/10. Films Like This Only Make My Desire To Barge Into A PETA Convention Wearing A Fur Coat And A Happy Human T-Shirt While Waving Around A Pair Of Turkey Legs Like A Complete Madman Even Greater. It Also Reminded Me That Not Being An Activist Is Something To Be Proud Of.
what can i say about it? meh. it wasn't great but it wasn't atrocious either. it was just... okay. the story's about a group of animals whose home (the jungle) gets destroyed by humans with bulldozers to make way for a some-kinda resort or a hotel. so the animals set on a journey to the big city to ask the humans why are they destroying the jungle. and when i heard of that, i was like "this sounds really generic". and it was generic, but i can't deny that it did have its great moments. and some of the characters were likable and relevant so there's that. but honestly, even though i did enjoy it, "Delhi Safari" still wasn't that good. the story's nothing new, we seen it done over and over again. and it really plays on that by-the-numbers scenario in which it gets annoying. well for most of the time, it does. and even though i did admit there were likable characters, most of them felt just really bland, so you don't really care about them that much. watching "Delhi Safari", i was pretty much like "i seen better characters than these before". like in "Alpha and Omega", where the movie kept me smiling and happy, it doesn't play by-the-numbers, it had better animation, a great message and i loved every character in it. here, it's not the same thing. "Delhi Safari" obviously has weaker animation than "Alpha and Omega" (and "Alpha and Omega" was co-produced in India too, despite being almost entirely American). like the movements seemed rough, the characters designs weren't that great and the backgrounds were a big meh. and it wasn't really funny either. i mean, it had jokes that did made chuckle (there's only 2 jokes in the whole movie that made me laugh), but chuckle alone isn't enough to make your movie funny. so, with that being said: "Delhi Safari" did have good moments in it, it did have some good/relevant characters, the voice acting was good and some of the animation and cinematography looked nice and pretty, but honestly that's not enough. most of the time, the animation was stiff, the other characters were bland and forced, it was pretty predictable, the we've- seen-it-before story plays by-the-numbers which gets annoying and there wasn't much of a climax here, cause once you think it's gonna get better by the end... no, it just ends like that, abruptly. that really kinda ruined the movie. i did enjoy it and i respect the fact that India actually tried to give us something at least enjoyable (they did), but they should've worked on this movie even more.5/10
This looked like another "Madagascar" type movie, so I played it for my 2 year old.To my horror, a scene played out that shows a monkey imagining himself killing a parrot first with a gun, then a chainsaw, and then a knife. I abruptly shut the film off following this scene, but by then, it had already played out.This is NOT a movie that I think a 2 year old is ready for! Parents, please use caution when thinking of playing this.SHAME on the creators, for adding violence like this in a children's movie! What were you thinking?
This is my all time FVRT Indian animation movie. I have enjoyed all the characters specially Bajarangi (voice of Govinda).Funny as it may sound, Govinda's voice for Bajrangi the Monkey is just perfect. The actor, known for his comic timing makes you laugh even with his voice. Boman Irani as Bagga the Bear also works well as you can make out that the actor has put in effort to perfect the many moods of the bear. Despite the predictable song-and-dance and even the story, Delhi Safari works as the train journey from Mumbai to New Delhi has a few of stops and fun moments that fit well into the plotI hope this will be a milestone in Indian animation industry.
