Jungle

Once again its RAM GOPAL VERMA to the rescue !

Jungle is an amazing thriller from start to end. The movie is about a terrorist group that hold a bunch of tourists hostage. Since this is a hindi movie, one of the hostages had to be the pretty heroine (Urmila) and the hero (Fardeen Khan) had to go save her.

Every single actor in this movie did an amazing job, especially the actors playing the role of terrorists. After watching them, you don't know whether to laugh with the terrorists (because of the way they talk) or to feel freaked out by what they talk about. Most of the scenes are funny and at the same time highly disturbing. One minute you are laughing, the other your jaw drops in horror.

I loved everything about this movie. It's definitely worth watching

I liked this movie.One of the best movie of Ram Gopal Varma.This movie holds you from starting to climax.Good cinematography shot in the jungle.A thriller movie with suspense.

What worked: The movie brings out its authenticity from the use of Jungle as the means to narrate the story. The forest is one of the pivotal elements of the movie, and it added flavor with the presence of real animals such as tiger, elephant, snakes and many more. What did not work: I think the movie could have been cut down by 1. Cutting down the songs 2. Cutting down the scenes that were not important to the narrative 3. Repetitive scenes. There were many chase scenes in the movie, some of which could have been taken down. Final verdict: for the time it was released, it's something

Jungle features some outstanding cinematography by Vijay Arora. Shot in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a wide angle camera lens, it does of stunning job of capturing the ambiance of the jungle, including wildlife. It also features some fine performances by Urmila and the "bad guys", including Vijay Raaz who is especially memorable. In contrast, I thought that Sunil Shetty was passable at best and IMO he's too soft faced to play a cop obsessed with tracking down his arch foe.

Ram Gopal Verma does a fine job of creating suspense and some scenes in the jungle are especially gut wrenching. However, he too is hampered by the commercial considerations of Bollywood cinema and the ill placed songs -- which border on the absurd at times -- don't help matters any.

The film's biggest let down is its screenplay, which cannot decide whether it wants to be romance story or a gritty thriller. The characters seem to engage in downright silly behaviour even when faced with life threatening situations. The villain's actions are inexplicable and some things seem to have been written with the express purpose of driving the storyline forward.

That said, considering the trash that Bollywood churns out, this is certainly one of the better films and Verma should be commended for trying to break the narrow formulaic cinematic mould.

JUNGLE tells the story of 2 lovers getting separated by wild men. The men (and a woman) in this movie are real wild and will ride you through horror and laughter. Urmila was good, her second best to Rangeela. Sushant Singh was first rate with his looks and movements. Fardeen was watchable. Rajpal Yadav was a big surprise in this movie, a role which he has never played nor will play.

The best about the movie are cinematography and sound. I think the critic and box office response to this movie has inspired RGV to experiment the same techniques (with a difference) in Bhoot. If I've to point out the best three movies of Ram Gopal Varma, JUNGLE will follow Sathya and Company. A must watch movie for strong performances.
