Raj Nayar (Vidyut Jammwal), a veterinary doctor from Mumbai, visits his father after a long gap of ten years in their Chandrika elephant sanctuary (Odisha). Soon after, a ghastly attack on the elephants by a bunch of poachers, led by (Atul Kulkarni), changes his life forever.
Initially lured by the city life, Raj now decides to protect the gentle giants in the sanctuary, which has always been his father's dream. After a series of unfortunate events that happen in the reserve, Meera (debutante Asha Bhat), a journalist from Mumbai and Shankara (debutante Pooja Sawant), a mahout based in the sanctuary, also join Raj's mission of punishing the illegal hunters, who kill elephants for ivory.
Protect animals, save the elephants is the primary message that Junglee sends across and it does so in an action-packed way. The film also reiterates that if we pledge to stop buying ivory products, it will prevent poachers from indulging in this illegal trade. True to its theme, the film transports you to the calm of a jungle, away from your city, cell phones and chaos (shot in the beautiful locales of an elephant reserve in Thailand).
Known for Hollywood blockbusters like The Mask, The Scorpion King and Eraser, American director Chuck Russell makes his Hindi cinema debut with this one. His fascination for mythology, Hindu mantras, our martial arts like Kalaripayattu and Lord Ganpati is evident, given the Indian essence and exoticism he brings to the story.
While the film scores higher on action than emotion, Russell's attempt at blending the two with a social cause, stands out for a variety of reasons.
All the actors exude effortless comfort around the elephants, which is rare for an Indian film that revolves around animals. The last Indian film that captured the man-elephant camaraderie was Haathi Mere Saathi (1971), starring Rajesh Khanna.
The film's highlight, other than its fight against poachers who kill elephants for tusks, is Vidyut Jammwal's brilliance as one of our finest action heroes. His action is absolutely flawless and perhaps the best in the business. The jaw-dropping, lethal action scenes he portrays on screen and his mastery in martial arts puts him at par with the finest action heroes across the globe.
Action sequences that holds your attention and makes this film a paisa vasool entertainer, that is bound to attract families and children.
Such an adventurous and brave attempt is rare in Hindi cinema.

After seen ' Junglee', I admit that Bollywood movie never reached at standard of Hollywood movie, even it directed by Hollywood director. Chuck Russell tried his best but he doesn't succeed to overcome from Bollywood saga. Yes, ' Junglee' is a typical Bollywood movie by Hollywood director Chuck Russel. There is nothing new in story. Movie is only watchable for Elephants and electrified action from Vidyut Jamawal. I thought that the movie would be same as 'The Protector' starring Tony Jaa, but it is far different. As me it could be made remake of it and could be better. Thanks to director / music director that there are no lazy boring love songs here. Acting by Vidyut is ok, but action is super. Leading lady is only for fill the gap of leading female. Atul Kulkarni is perfect but at last he looses his tempo and looks helpless. Vidyut's father is totally miscast. For such a martial artist son, father should be strong and impressive. Another miscast is Makrand Deshpande, the teacher should have perfect and believable. Direction neither is just okaying, not memorable nor twists side. As suggested by me just watch for elephants (especially for kids in their summer vacation) and Vidyut Jamawal's action. One more plus point is that the camerawork. It is excellent to catch the beauty of natures like mountains, woods, and lakes and of course about elephants too!
A rare movie from Bollywood on elephants after ' Haathi Mere Saathi', Main aur mera Hathi and 'Sufed Hathi'. Good try...and best message that ' Love animals and love natures'.!!!

A great entertainment. Vidyut Jamwal was a treat to watch doing the ancient martial art form of Kerala.
the Movie barely escaped from being a documentary.

Story was beautiful. Vidyut's acting was on point. Pooja Sawant did a good job. And it's definitely worth watching for the people who admire wildlife.

JUNGLEE REVIEW :
There are multiple films made on the same story of jungle where Human's hunger for money destroys forrest world. The Animal comes in mind in that story is most probably an Elephant who is more profitable for hunters. It's been almost 30 years we haven't seen a film on the same old story and here comes Junglee loaded with New Action Mania. The same old story does feel predictable but the action sequences and new set of storytelling makes it a decent watch.
Juglee is the same predictable story revolving around Eliphant hunting, and later turning into a Revenge drama. Vidyut Jammwal, Pooja Sawant, Asha Bhat, Atul Kulkarni, Makarand Deshpande and rest of the cast members plays thier roles fine on screen. A Writer should have tried to write something new so that film would have looked more interesting. Screenplay is Tight and that's why film never looks dull or boring. Action and stunts are eye pleasing and the Camera Work is well supporting. Chuck Russell as Director fails to bring some special product, but thank god he doesn't deliver a crap.
If you real feel for the animals then Junglee will hit your chords very well, apart from that it is still a very entertaining cinematic experience. But if you are looking for something more than a Decent product then wait, keep those expectations well in limit. The emotional touch of Animals may tug little rings in your heart and the Action mania towards the End works on high note. Overall, Junglee is a Good One Time Watch or rather a decent watch for all kind of Audiences, no matter what your taste is, no matter what your age is.
RATING- 5/10*

They are all associated with the movie. This is the worst directed movie I have seen - almost childish. We saw people leaving in the middle, but I decided to just sleep through. I wonder why would they waste so much money on locations, camera work and not worry about story, dialogs, direction or even editing??
It was like ok it was not the best but it was ok
i got little bored by watching it
otherwise it is fine

To be very frank, i would have given 3 stars for this flick but really Elephants saved this movie from getting 3 stars. Was expecting better from chuck russell.
TEASER was wonderful and trailer was good! felt there was a problem with the screenplay and the story. Expressions of many actors looked wooden specially during emotional scenes. elephants were awesome!!. There are some scenes which really makes you emotional (would have mentioned but don't want to give any spoilers here) actions was good, definitely not the way I was expecting but it was good. Anyways, again would like to mention : ELEPHANTS WERE AWESOME!!

Don't be fool by other 3 review. I don't think they watch this movie. It's one of the worst movie of this month. No story. Director not sure what he is doing. Not entertaining at all. I wanted to getting out from hall in middle. But I didn't just because the seat of the hall was too comfy. Don't waste your money here. If you want entertainment then watch "kesari". If you want good story and making watch "Badla".
Copying other movies. and have some very bad agenda. Vidyut is promoting those agendas because he belong to Hindu Nationalist family. Also poorly choreographed action scenes makes the movie worst. Specially bike scene and showing totally impossible mad scenes makes it more than worst.

Vidyut jamwal's potential of parkour,tricking and stunts was wasted in film...he did best in commando, even tom yum gong of tony jaa if see, has death defying stunts . vidyut is class actor in martial arts...he can be placed with tony jaa ,scott adkins ,donny yen...etc

Seriously, I got up in the middle even though seats were comfortable

Just a fight without emotional purpose and weak opponent makes it pointless. And story is very paper thin

Vidyut Jammwal flexes his muscles and does a bunch of entertaining stunts at the start and the end of Junglee (Wild), a crime drama with a social message about animal (tuskers) and nature conservation that is extremely similar to most films and documentaries about animal and nature conservation. TN.
As an action star, Vidyut JAMMWAL (FORCE / COMMANDO I to III) really packs a punch: here he plays a veterinarian from Mumbai who visits his widowed father (Thalaivasal VIJAY) again after ten years. He runs an elephant farm in the jungle. Unfortunately, unscrupulous poachers (the main enemy: Atul KULKAMI) are on the hunt for ivory. Luckily, the well-trained veterinarian is also skilled in martial arts, just like his childhood friend (Akshay OBEROI)...
Of course, love isn't neglected either: a childhood friend (Pooja SAWANT) from the jungle and an overzealous journalist (Asha BAT) from Mumbai are courting the powerful nose-breaker. It's all very colorful to look at, the elephants are more than cute and when it comes to action, hardly anyone can beat Vidyut JAMMWAL. The guy is a real talent for movement and probably does all of his own stunts. And yet the film by US director Chuck RUSSELL (Eraser) remains all too unsurprising and staid.
Shot in Thailand, the box office was pretty lukewarm: just 24.70 crore in India, 29,996 in the UK and $63,459 in N-America (data from: Bollywood Hungama). You can watch it, but it won't stay in your memory for long!

This movie deserves a way better overall rating. I would rate this movie a 10 for the message it conveys, its brilliant cinematography, the pacing, action and the entertainment it provides. It is a very well directed movie where everything works together so well.
Se who are saying that it is a 'tyg' rip off are seriously dumb bcause movie script have no similarity with 'tyg' . its good entertainer .
For those who doesn't feel its a good movie then watch cartoon films in ur home, some other review that its have bad action choreography, dude open your eyes its not double stunt action sequences. He did all in real, even Tiger shroff need double stunt. Don't try to watch only item songs, watch the quality of actors...I voted 10/10 for vidyut and his team, his stunt and action, its really awesome. And I want to watch hiis movies in bollywood.

Average movie to be frankly speaking. Story is good and message is noble. Direction is good with poor screenplay. Performance wise Vidyut is excellent with his action,physique and dialogues. Female actors were well placed with their characters. Other characters like Atul and Makrand were below par with their potential.
Overall worthy to watch.
