ETimes reviews the comedy entertainer
Reviewing the film, ETimes wrote, “Welcome To The Jungle is not a flawless comedy. It is overcrowded, noisy and often indulgent. But despite its flaws, it manages to deliver enough laughs and entertaining moments to justify the ride. This is the kind of film that asks you to leave logic behind and simply surrender to the madness. If you enjoy chaotic ensemble comedies packed with slapstick humour— this jungle ride offers enough fun to keep you engaged.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
