What is the story about?
Welcome to the Jungle, the latest instalment in the hit Welcome franchise, finally arrived in theatres on June 26, bringing back the franchise's trademark
blend of comedy, chaos, and star power. Headlined by Akshay Kumar and featuring an ensemble cast including Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Dutt, and others, the film has been one of the year's most anticipated Bollywood releases. With audiences now catching the film on the big screen, many are already eager to know where they can stream it after its theatrical run. Here's everything we know so far about Welcome to the Jungle's OTT release.
Welcome To The Jungle OTT release
Welcome to the Jungle will be available to stream on JioHotstar after completing its theatrical run. While the makers have not officially announced the OTT release date, the film's poster confirms JioHotstar as its streaming partner. Typically, Bollywood films arrive on OTT platforms around eight weeks after their theatrical release, suggesting the Akshay Kumar-led entertainer could premiere on that platform within that window.
The in-house review of Zoom says Welcome To The Jungle is best enjoyed with your expectations for logic left at the door. While it may not be flawless, the comedy delivers several hilarious moments that have the potential to become meme-worthy and earn cult-classic status over time.
What's the plot of Welcome To The Jungle
Welcome to the Jungle follows a corrupt politician-businessman who hatches an outrageous plan to launder Rs 2,000 crore of black money by producing the biggest box-office disaster ever made. Convinced that the film is bound to fail, he assembles a chaotic team comprising a washed-up superstar, an incompetent filmmaker, a gangster, and a group of eccentric personalities.
However, things take an unexpected turn when the crew, shooting a military action film in a remote jungle village, is mistaken for a real army unit and finds itself caught in the middle of a genuine terrorist crisis. What begins as a bizarre money-laundering scheme soon transforms into a wildly unpredictable adventure packed with meta-humour, action, and absurd comedy.
Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala, the cast features Akshay Kumar as Rajeev, Arshad Warsi as Romeo, Paresh Rawal as Dr. Ghungroo, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lara Dutta, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, and others.
