We hadn't seen any Indian animated movies so I took a chance on it, and it's, well...interesting. As several other viewers have noted, there are some scenes that don't belong in a children's movie, which just pop up out of nowhere. The animation and singing are also not great. But its magic lies in the untraditional animal characters, which delighted my children. The tiger cub is very appealing, a kind of re-appropriation of sir khan as an animal hunted by humans; the bear, like Baloo, is a lovable joker; the monkey, like king Louis, is a maniacal punk, but he redeems himself by saving the life of the parrot, the animals' only hope to save the forest from development, because he can talk to humans. They cross India, marveling at the human-made pollution, in a kind of reverse safari, repeating the environmental lessons so common in children's animation in a unique, spirited way. Given that one of our favorite restaurants right now is called Bollywood Grill, our favorite line was towards the end when the humans proclaim, "That parrot has watched too much Bollywood!"

The movie is about animals going on a trip to the city to talk to humans so that they stop killing them and destroy the forest. The message itself is great. I don't know why some are whining about "PETA agenda", not destroying the planet and kill animals is a pretty damn good "agenda".

I actually liked the animation. It is not done in a very progressed way but it is cute and has a feeling of innocence which I also enjoy to watch. The characters are really well drawn and cute. Especially that little adorable parrot.

That all said I am surprised by the age group for which it was recommended. 2 to 7 years? No way. Actually it is better for kids right after that age group. It is a bit too violent for younger kids to handle. After 7 though they should be fine with it, enjoy the movie and learn a good lesson about loving our planet and other species.

I was taken aback. While watching India's first stereoscopic 3D movie with such a beautiful message, I was entertained, mesmerized & marveled at the creation.

The story is simple, yet unrealistic, about a group of animals who set out to the Parliament to speak out their grievances. The grievance is that they are being murdered, chased away from their natural habitats. It is so in parallel with the need of the hour in India & the whole world. It talks about the plight of animals and why animals are going extinct. An eye-opener for some, Delhi Safari is truly remarkable in its style, narration and innovation.

Yes, like I said it IS little unrealistic, but who cares when it gives a valid message. The voices provided by our Bollywood celebrities are very good, the dialogs make you laugh and the direction is also good. I was little disappointed with the editing but the soundtrack made my day. A complete entertainment package, this!

BOTTOM LINE: A wonderful must-watch in the wake of boring mainstream Bollywood movies. 100% Recommended. Both for adults (the message) & kids (animation).
