A Masterpiece!

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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 even say about this film that can even begin to explain the absolutely disgusting experience that is "Delhi Safari". The animation is some of the most sub-par slop I've ever laid my eyes on; the models are grotesque and too many animals have human teeth, lips and eyes for you to not feel violated in every sense of the word. The story makes less than no sense and even as a children's movie it's dull and bizarre without the slightest substance to keep any sort of audience entertained. Even your kids will be either bored, annoyed, or uncomfortable. The plot changes at random (which is with nearly every scene), and there are so many songs so horrid that I, a music therapy major, had to take a moment to consider if I was wrong and music was instead always intended to be a method of torture. I read one review that claimed this movie wasn't too preachy about its environmentalist message and I am legitimately worried that that person was being held at gunpoint while writing said review. Every other scene PETA makes sure to slam down your throat how evil humans are while at the same time assaulting your eyes with the most vomit-inducing imagery ever put to screen. The concept of subtlety does not exist and the message is so heavy handed I'm convinced that if you even said the word "subtle" to the director he would stab you in the stomach. Here are a few key moments, just to explain what kind of movie this is to you:The main monkey character tries to literally murder a bird by means of chainsaw, guns and stabbing. Said monkey also zips down an invisible fly to urinate in the grass for seemingly no reason, and also gets two bear fingers unmistakably shoved into his rectum (no, I'm not embellishing, that is legitimately what happens). Two human characters at one point are without question about to act out a pornographic film, with the camera labeling the scene as "Casting Couch: Scene 69". A talking parrot speaks with the prime minister and is taken as seriously as a cancer diagnosis. And finally, near the end of the film, a man in plain view is wearing a shirt that simply says "FCUK"...I shouldn't have to help you decipher that one.I would rather have my fingernails systematically removed with pliers than have to sit through this film again. Just when you thought that you didn't have any more reasons to hate PETA, this movie comes along demanding to be added to their ever lengthening list of atrocities. I hate this movie so much, I made this IMDb account with the sole purpose to express my disgust towards this film. Save yourself and your children.

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

Hats off to director Mr. Nikhil Advani, who choose a tough path of making a meaningful film rather than following the common path of making a commercial cinema. Making an animation and meaningful film is complete risk in Bollywood but he took the challenge and proved himself right. This film is sweetly entertaining. Camera angle used in story telling keeps the pace of film on very good note. Animation is done creatively. Especially the bee animation is mind blowing. Most of the voice dubbing is done by known bollywood actors but Govinda's voice is superb. Wow, you can't stop smiling to hear him. He is brilliant. Rest Akshay Khanna, Boman Irani, Urmila Matondkar and Saurav Shukla are also fine but Govinda is outstanding. Story, screenplay is very good. Dialogues are fantastic. Great work by writers team Mr. Nikhil Advani, Girish Dhamija, Suresh Nair and Milap Zaveri. They have even touched a very sensitive issue of Tiger saving in a scene, which was heart touching. 3D impact is not up to mark but when subject and narration touch your emotions, you don't bother about other things. Music score by Shankar Ehsan Loy is very good. You would feel that you are simply watching a typical Bollywood movie. Even animated choreography justifies it. Overall, it has all ingredients of a good film, drama, emotion and entertainment. Please go and watch with your lovely kids. They will enjoy as well as you.
