The first half is packed with non-stop comedy, a gripping story, and surprisingly avoids feeling illogical. Every character gets their moment, making the ensemble cast work beautifully. Akshay Kumar once again proves why heโs the ultimate entertainer,โ and adds, โThe climax is entertaining and features a few surprise cameos that elevate the finale. Ahmed Khanโs direction keeps the film engaging, the background score is energetic, and the songs in the first half add to the fun.โ

Welcome To The Jungleย packs a solid punch in its entirety, and the madness has just begun!
_Welcome To The Jungle_ย released in cinemas on June 26 and on the first day at the box-office, it made Rs 15 crore which was a slow start, given the franchiseโs goodwill and the star-cast of more than 30 actors.
