WION's review of Welcome to the Jungle
In her review of Welcome to the Jungle, WION's Nikita Toppo says that the film is not for people who are looking for logic, realism, a screenplay, or even a storyline. Several characters exist only for star value. But Ahmed Khan makes sure to compensate for these things with a load of slapstick comedy, action, nostalgia, and meta humour. The mass entertainer has jokes in almost every scene, and surprisingly, most of them bring laughs.
