Delhi Safari Movie Reviews

DELHI SAFARI is a fun ride from the National Park, taken over by Khateeja Builders in Mumbai, to Delhi. This animated film drives home the point without pulling any punches. The message is loud and clear, humans are animals who do not spare even humans! Don't believe me; book your tickets for the 'first day first show'. You will not regret this ride. Within the first five minutes, director Nikhil Advani captivates his audience as he gives us a peep into a family

In India, making animation films automatically means you’re making a film for kids. But times are a changing and so is the way filmmakers today think about this genre. Nikhil Advani’s Delhi Safari is the perfect example of the way animation films are broadening their horizons. This 3D animation film can best be described as an entertainer with a social message. It has enough humour to please the kids and it has just the right content to allow

Think animation in Indian cinema and images from mythological productions spring to mind. Surely a movie without a Bal Hanuman or Krishna is bound to be a dud at the box office, right? We are happy to report that once you watch Nikhil Advani's, 'Delhi Safari', that standard will be shattered. Animals living in Mumbai's Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivali are left without a leader, when bulldozers kill Sultan (Suniel Shetty), the leopard

Though many Indian studios have tried their hands at animation in the past, Delhi Safari reaches the closest to a good quality 3D animation entertainer. Kids, who enjoyed the Madagascar series and even Jungle Book, will enjoy Delhi Safari because there are a lot of things in the film they can relate to, like the popular Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Mumbai, names of other Indian cities, Hindi movie dialogues and even the mention of the popular Indian news channels

Confession: I didn't see The Lion King until very recently. When I heard that Simba's father Mufasa dies, I absolutely refused to watch it. Sunny Deol smashing the populous with a hand pump? No problem. James Bond nuking a thousand baddies? All good. A big cat's death being plotted by hyenas? Hand me the tissues. As a die-hard animal lover, it is incredibly hard for me to handle any kind of fauna violence, no matter how badly animated

There are more than a few lessons nicely woven into the plot of Delhi Safari, but thankfully this 3D animation film from director Nikhil Advani never talks down to its young audience, or beats them on the head with its overarching message of wildlife and environmental preservation. At a crisp 95 minutes, the film is an enjoyable and entertaining adventure, despite never achieving Pixar-level greatness. A young leopard cub, Yuvi (voiced by Swini Khara), motivates a group

For some strange, inexplicable reason, animation movies have not been embraced warmly by Indian moviegoers, although the last two movies [ARJUN THE WARRIOR PRINCE and KRISHNA AUR KANS], both 2012 releases, had some gorgeous images to offer. Now DELHI SAFARI makes an earnest attempt to match up to the toon flicks served by Hollywood. Also, this one's in stereoscopic 3D. DELHI SAFARI goes beyond the boundaries of a "cartoon film" and attains

Welcome to Animal Planet! Not the one of guts and gore of Tellyland's jaws, paws and claws; but our own animated jungle mein mangal. Yes. The Animals have landed. Look around the city; you can probably spot a lonely leopard at a 'zebra-crossing', a bear working his fat-ass off in your gym or a bandar - ek Virar-fast-local-train-ke-andar. Let's welcome the new denizens of the (concrete) jungle. What in the world are they doing in the land of tamed creatures

Following a bunch of wild animals facing existential problems thanks to human excessiveness, the plot focuses on the journey they undertake from Mumbai to the Capital. Their ultimate aim is to make their voices heard in the Parliament. Well, you can excuse them for being naïve enough to believe in democracy more than we do. But the adventure they end up having seems full of life with a tint of cinema

Desi toons get a Hollywood spin this time. Nikhil Advani's animation film has been shot as a bilingual, and Hollywood actors Jason Alexander, Christopher Lloyd and Vanessa Williams have done the voiceovers for the English version. It's a 3D spectacle and the spirited toon stars of Delhi Safari will surely regale the little ones. But when it comes to imagination, there is still time before Bollywood animation scales international heights

Review: After the runaway hit debut Kal Ho Naa Ho in 2003 and 3 moderately successful films, Nikhil Advani brings to you India’s first......

A bunch of animals are off on a mission. To tell the powers-that-be in New Delhi that their forests are in mortal danger, and so are they. Cub leopard Yuvi, his feisty mom, a chatty parrot, a large bear, and a wicked monkey set off on a journey full of adventure. Nikhil Advani’s ‘Delhi Safari’ does a great service to the animation-for-kids genre by stepping out of the tired mythological stories, and creating animals with distinctive personalities.

Delhi Safari Movie Review: 2.5/5 stars. What’s Good: The humour; the dialogues; the very apt voice casting. What...

They’re cutting trees, so cut to Delhi for a solution. The bumpy ride to Delhi is animated in 3D to get kids on board and to also attempt engaging the adults accompanying them. Encroachment is at its peak and the jungle fauna is losing its members to greedy humans. Clever leopard cub Yuvi (Swini Khara) has lost his father Sultan (Suniel Shetty) to merciless mechanical monsters sent by Kaatheja Builders to raze the jungle and build a human settlement
