Featured reviews
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.

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
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

Ram Gopal Varma movies are always interesting to watch as they usually offer something different yet entertaining. This particular movie starts of as a routine love story as Siddhu (Fardeen Khan) and Anu (Urmila Matondkar) meet, fight, hate and miraculously fall in love somehow. Thankfully all this excitement happens in the first few reels.
Before the two lovebirds can confess to their parents, Anu's family decides to go on vacation in a jungle somewhere. Siddhu, being the hopeless romantic follows his 'Mehbooba' into the depths of greenness. This is where things get interesting. One fine day the family and their tour group decide to go on a safari. While riding through the jungle, bandits or whatever those dirty, smelly ruffians are called attack the bus, kill a few people and kidnap the rest. Siddhu dearest is duly notified and distressed as any proper hero should be.
Here the police and all the useles people come in. Here we find out the head smelly bandit is this hairy guy called Durga Narayan. They try to do all kinds of stuff but aren't successful. After some bargaining, the bandit fellows release all the prisoners except 1, guess who? Anu of course. So it seems Hairy Durga has become smitten with her charming screams. Now back to Siddhu dearest who gets really really worried this time on not seeing Anu among the freed people and decides to take matters into his own hands.
So then he finds her and escapes into the jungle where they are followed by Durga and his smelly comrades. Now they are stuck in the jungle, not knowing where to go.
The movie is just fantastic. Enough thrills and chills to excite any viewer, its thoroughly entertaining. Fardeen and Urmila do their part dutifuly. I must say that Fardeen has improved significantly but still has to work on his extremely fake laugh. Sushant Singh as Hairy Durga is quite hairy but more importantly quite creepy. Never heard of this guy before this movie, but he was good. Watch him in Raj Kumar Santoshi's The Legend of Bhagat Singh, he is awesome.
Also notable is the background music, Sandeep Chowta as usual is brilliantly chilling. The jungle is captured beautifully by the camera. Overall, a great product, definately give it a watch. If you like good entertaining cinema, you'll love this one.
