JUNGLE

Cast: Fareen Khan, Urmila Matondkar, Sunil Shetty, Sushant & Kashmira Shah
Director: Ram Gopal Verma
Music: Sandeep Chowta
Rating: * *

Ram Gopal Verma's Jungle is not as interesting as his previous film Satya. Jungle shows glimpses of dacoits and their activities in the jungle.

Siddharth Sharma (Fardeen Khan) is a poor boy in love with rich girl Anu (Urmilla Matondkar). He follows his girlfriend when she goes to a jungle resort with her family.

In the jungle, dacoit leader Durga (Sushant) kidnaps Anu and her family to force the release of his men from the police. He starts killing one member a day. Pressurised by the politicians, an honest police commando Swaraj (Sunil Shetty) bows down and releases Durga's men. Durga releases the kidnapped people except Anu because he has given his heart to her. Siddharth not caring for his life succeeds in freeing Anu from Durga. Durga's men are after them and the police is after Durga. And then goes the rest of the film.

The first half of the film is quite pacy but the second half has been stretched a lot.

Fardeen Khan looks good and acts better than his debut film. Given better scope, he can act better. Urmilla Matondkar looks good but does not impress that much in the acting department. Sunil Shetty in a cameo role impresses. He has given a restrained performance. But the better performances are from the people in the jungle. Sushant has given a fabulous performance. Kashmira Shah, a gang member of the villain, has for the first time got the chance to show her talent and she has succeeded in it. Makarand Deshpande is also good in the role of the manager of the guest rooms. Technically the film is good. What is missing is the tight screenplay. Ram Gopal Verma can be appreciated for choosing a complete different locale for his film. Music is okay.
