Personality [ ]

Sultan is presented as a loving and caring husband and father. Protecting loved ones is able to sacrifice his own life, which proves his love to them. From the words spoken by the owl, we can conclude that he was a strong leopard and the inhabitants of the jungle could always count on protection from his side. 

Backstory [ ]

We see Sultan

Morning lesson

You both deserve a smack on the bum...

Begum, you're almost there...

 for the first time in the scene when he teaches Yuvi self-defense, then Begum comes in and tells them to stop fighting, then Sultan and Yuvi laugh at her over-caring attitude towards her son. Begum leaves offended, but soon forgives Sultan and Yuvi (they sing a romantic song) In the next scene, when they are on the walk (Sultan and Yuvi, minus Begum, she talks with animals) Sultan and Yuvi are forced to flee from the bulldozer that is chasing them. Father and son are rushed to the canyon where they are trapped by bulldozers. Begum yells Yuvi's name

Family is reconciled

in fear, Sultan, noticing that Yuvi is looking at him with eyes full of fear and trust, decides to save his son and catches Yuvi in his mouth and tosses him to Begum. Then, the man loads the weapon and keeps Yuvi at the bow tie, Sultan wanting to save his son throws at  man, but men shoots him,  and the leopard falls dead to the ground.

Later, Sultan talks with Yuvi in ​​the form of a ghost and warns him that the danger does not always come from outside, sometimes it may be hidden inside.  

In the form of a ghost, he also meets Begum and convinces her that Delhi is not far away.

In the last scene of the film, the Sultan's spirit stands on the hill and looks smiling at Yuvi, with Begum standing beside him.   

Apperance [ ]

Alive  [ ].

Sultan has a golden fur that is covered with black spots. He has long whiskers and amber e

Sultan when he lived

yes. His abdomen is white, as well as the face and paws. The underside of his tail is white, the tip is black and the side hung is orange and covered with the same black spots. He has a strong squar

Sultan in form of spirit

e jaw.  The spots over his eyes are full of eyebrows, round and black. He is stoned from his mate, because there are sexual dimorphism among the leopards. Sultan was a handsome leopard. 

Sultan seemingly, somewhat conquered death as he became a spirit after his life and appeared to his friends and family. As a spirit, Sultan looked the same, except that his body was white and transparent. 

Role in the movie [ ]

The character of Sultan is important for the plot of the whole film. From the moment of his death, the action has been developing significantly. Although he died, his ghost appears and warns Yuvi and advises him. He encourages Begum to continue journey to Delhi. Sultan is one of the most important characters in the film. 

Unfortunately, his role has not been appreciated and has not been placed on the film poster or the cover of a DVD with a movie.

Relationship [ ]

Sultan loves his wife very much. Sometimes laughs at her over-caring attitude towards their son.  It is also known that her eyes (when she is angry) are pleasing to him. We can also conclude from Yuvi's statement that if Begum is already decisive, only Sultan can persuade her to change her mind ("There is only one person Mom will listen to now ..."). He's a voice that manages to convince Begum, not to give up the onward journey to Delhi. So he had a big influence on her and on her decisions. 

Sultan and Begum

When Sultan died, Begum was very, very sad (that's mean, that she love him very, very much).     

Sultan loved his son very much. It was from him that Yuvi learned how to love nature and other animals and how to respect them.

Sultan and his son Yuvi

Yuvi knew that for his father the jungle in which they live is of great importance. He compared her leaving to leave his father ("If we leave this jungle, it's just like leaving papa, it's full of his memories").

The cub always stays close to his father. During "To forgive", Yuvi does not leave Sultan. He follows him all the time and keeps him. When Yuvi and Sultan, while on a walk, heard a noise from behind the trees, the cub (most likely sensing danger) hid behind his father's paw.  During their escape from the bulldozer, when Yuvi had almost died under the machine, Sultan rescued his son. Yuvi did not bounce hard enough and jumped up, slipped and hung. Terrified, he called, "Papa!" Sultan pulled him in at the last moment. The leopard sacrificed his life by saving his cub. This is proof of his great love for his son. In the evening, after Sultan's death, all animals mourned their king. However, they made a terrible decision - they would leave the jungle for their own safety. Yuvi tells them to fight, because that would be Sultan's will. The cub also says that Sultan always considered them all as his strength and courage.

Other animals [ ]

Sutlan was the king (head) of the jungle and the leader of the animals living there. The inhabitants of the jungle loved their king and felt safe, knowing that their ruler would always save them. From the words spoken by the owl, we know that Sultan was the strongest jungle animal, without him, jungle inhabitants were helpless (,,Rest of us aren't like him, Yuvi, we aren't strong just like your father was" ).  This means boundless trust of the jungle inhabitants towards their king. Sultan's death was the reason why animals living in the jungle were very sad, they lost their ruler and their only defender.

- Listen to you... if talk were left-hook you'd be king of the jungle - Sultan to Yuvi

- Honey (to Begum), he needs to learn self-defense, doesn't he ? I'm making him a man - Sultan explains Begum that he teaches their son of self-defense

-   You two have no idea how mother feels (laughs) -  Sultan and Yuvi laugh at Begum's over-caring attitude towards her son

- Don't worry, Yuvi. I know a secret way of getting back of her good side -  Sultan tells Yuvi that he knows how to get forgiveness from Begum

- Begum, you're almost there -  Sultan assures Begum that she is very close to the purpose of her journey

- It won't make any difference, son. They still won't be able to see me. [...] They all think I'm somewhere far away. None of them knows how close I really am, only you -  Sultan tells Yuvi that other characters will not see him anyway and then explain why

-  That courage, friendship, and love, they're the essence of Sultan. They're what keep him alive.-  Bagga says, what was Sultan, describes his character

- ,,Don't be afraid when the road seems long. You're never far away from me [...] / With every step, every step you take,you make your own destiny"  -  Sultan trought the song convinces his relatives not to be afraid that they will be far away from him, because he'll always be with them (not live, but in the soul) and everyone creates their own destiny

Meaning name [ ]

Sultan Means "ruler, king, sultan" in Arabic. This describes his role in the jungle. He is its ruler.

It's not just my body that means I'm alive [ ]

Begum and Sultan's friends (except Yuvi) didn't see that, despite the fact that he died, he is still alive. Like Bagga said, not with his body, not with voice, but with character traits (in Yuvi- courage, in Bajrangi and Alex-friendship, and in Begum- love for Yuvi and that their love (Sultan's and Begum) made the cub go on world).)

,,[...] here, in Yuvi, in his tiny, courageous heart that got us started in the first place.

,,He's here in the friendship between Alex and Bajrangi.

"He's here in your love for the cub that you and he brought into this world.

To all characters:

,,That courage, friendship, and love, they're the essence of Sultan. They're what keep him alive. Whoever says that they can see Sultan, well, they're just not looking, 'cause he's right here. I've been wondering what my role in this whole journey was. To provide a comic relief and a bit of shade ? Maybe this is it, to make you guys understand that Sultan is alive in Yuvi and alive in each and every one of us."

Delhi Safari

• A group of animals plan a trip to Delhi in order to ask the parliament why the forest they live in is on the verge of destruction.
• A leopard cub, his mother, a monkey, a bear, and a parrot undertake a journey when the forest they live in is on the verge of destruction: a man is on the run to destroy the forest in order to erect a balcony. The five animals decide to go to Delhi and ask the parliament some very simple yet pertinent questions: Why has man become the most dangerous animal? Doesn't man understand that if the forests and the animals don't exist, man will cease to exist? — SocioSquare
• The residents of the national park welcome a bright sunny morning, birds singing away merrily, animals running around with joy, Sultan and his cub playing by the lakeside. The jungle has an air of joy and peace. A distant thunder breaks the silence and a closer look reveals the jungle being raided by man and machine destroying everything in its path. Sultan tries to fight a futile battle and ends up losing his life. The night has a very tense air as all the animals gather around with fear in their heart, discussing their fate of losing their habitat to human beings. Yuvi, Sultans cub, tries to reason with the elders, urging them to not give up their homes. Everyone is convinced that it is futile to fight humans, and the only option is to leave and move to a safer home. The hot headed militant monkey, Bajrangi, wants to declare a full scale war against the humans taking over their homes. But the anger management Guru, Bagga the bear, has a more civilized suggestion. He believes that all problems could be sorted out through peaceful discussions. So the best way to get back their homes is to have a dialog with the humans, win their hearts and their own homes. The only problem being that no one can speak the human language. Air India, the pigeon recommends Alex, the talking parrot who can come to their rescue. With hope in their hearts, Yuvi, Bajrangi, and Bagga decide to kidnap Alex from his luxurious golden cage. However, their hope turns to despair as the talking parrot Alex hates animals. Loves humans. And wants nothing to do with the problems of these barbaric animals especially, the primitive ape. Bajrangi. Also Alex is sure that such issues need to be addressed in the parliament at Delhi. Now starts a journey from Mumbai to Delhi. From hate to love. From enmity to friendship as a motley group of five animals travel across India with a message. A message that they discover not only plagues their homes, but the homes and lives of thousands of other animals on the way. The journey across the country becomes a journey where enemies become friends and a family comes together to fight for what rightfully belongs to them - A HOME.

DELHI SAFARI

By: debbie lynn elias

Bollywood’s gone Hollywood, 3D animation style, that is, with DELHI SAFARI. Talk about enjoyable!! Filled with family, friendship and fun, DELHI SAFARI is an adventure for children and adults of all ages!! A real delight! Animals beyond cute and, in some cases, impishly bad; an environmental message, Bollywood production numbers, superb 3D animation and characters and recognizable star-power voices (in the English version) all make DELHI SAFARI a perfect family film for the holidays and beyond.

In India, leopards rule the jungle. With wisdom and kindness, Sultan is loved by all, especially by his wife Begum and their young cub, Yuvi. Filled with the same energy of young children and cubs the world over, Yuvi is an adorable handful and of course, acts like he’s 2 going on 20. Anxious to be “just like Dad”, Yuvi is beyond excited when Sultan agrees to start teaching him about being a ruler. But that excitement quickly comes to and end when Sultan is brutally murdered by land developers plowing down the jungle in the animals’ Mumbai home.

With the animals in an uproar, they chant back “Live Among Nature”, but their cries fall on deaf ears as the only word the developers understand is “money.” A defiant and angry little cub, Yuvi wants to fight back – fight for the jungle and to avenge his father’s death. Like any mother, Begum wants none of that and is willing to quietly move elsewhere and live in sorrowful peace. But Yuvi will not be silenced and his jungle friends quickly hop on the bandwagon. Bajrangi the Monkey is ready to go to war against the humans while Bagga the Bear thinks talk and compromise in a more humane manner is the way to go if they only get to Parliament in Delhi and plead their case. Only problem is the animals can’t talk “human.” Ah…but there is one jungle friend who can – Alex the Parrot. Alex loves humans. He lives with some. His cage is made of gold and he’s treated like a king – he has snacks and loves to watch tv and movies and, thanks to all his hours of tv watching he has learned to conversationally speak with the humans. But there’s another problem. Alex hates animals and there’s no way he’ll go willing with Yuvi, Bagga and Bajrangi. To Bajrangi, the answer is simple. Kidnap Alex and bring him along anyway.

And so our little group sets out on their own DELHI SAFARI as they make the 700+ mile trek north from Mumbai, getting more than their share of adventures (and a beautiful travelogue of India) along the way. Facing robbers, trains, dancing flamingos, hungry hyenas and even death, nothing will stop Yuvi and his friends. But what will happen when they finally reach Delhi? Will they gain an audience with Parliament? Will the humans hear their cries?

Written by Suresh Nair and Girish Dhamija together with writer/director and Mumbai native and 3D champion, Nikhil Advani, DELHI SAFARI marks the first Indian animated 3D film. Clean, crisp, Crayola 64 animation sets the tone with bright – but not super saturated – color, immersing us in the animal world. Notable is that the use of 3D is never “gimmicky”. It has a very free-flowing organic naturalism to it and gives the film just that little something extra. When it comes to the animation and CGI textures, with DELHI SAFARI, backgrounds – while colorful and bright – are matte and immobile, with animation focusing on the characters and action in the foreground. A fallacy that we so often see with animated films, and yes, even with Disney/Pixar, is that there is often so much happening that you don’t know where to turn your eye. With DELHI SAFARI, we know the background is there, the screen is filled with color, but movement and dialogue is in the foreground, thus allowing one to actually pay attention to the story and dialogue. And what story and dialogue!!

21st century colloquialisms and pop culture reference infuse the dialogue with an organic free-flowing casual sensibility that will engage kids and adults alike. Sounding like kids on a playground, timing is perfect and verbiage is so spot on with the conversation and vernacular of kids today. Pranks and calling each other “stupid” -these are things that while many may say, “boo hiss” and that shouldn’t be in a film or tv show, I say embrace them as this is reality and not being done or said in a harmful manner – just like in DELHI SAFARI. Animals pick on each other, pull pranks, and when they cross the line, there is sage advice and lessons to be learned that kick into play. But what stands out is that kids and adults will immediately tap into the story because of this authentic dialogue exchange. The execution of anthropomorphism is brilliant!

The tongue-in-cheek humor for adults built into the dialogue and star power voicing is to-die-for. As Pigeon, Christopher Lloyd makes reference to a Klingon talking parrot (uh, in case you forgot, Lloyd played a Klingon in a Star Trek movie); Bajrangi the monkey adds a Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry and spaghetti western vocal quality which is complimented by animation scenes that parody that with guns and weapons; Bagga the Bear, voiced by Brad Garrett, harkens in look and voice to the beloved Baloo the Bear in Disney’s The Jungle Book or even Smokey the Bear with the little hat; Alex the Parrot with his multiplicity of languages and mimicry is a nod to C3P0 in Star Wars .

The pop culture touchstones within the film only make it that much more embraceable and effective. Yes, everyone can see many strong resemblances to The Lion King – but they are beloved moments from the film that resonate. The stampede in The Lion King is here in DELHI SAFARI a stampede of machinery chasing the animals through the gorge. Visions of Sultan that come to Yuvi mirror those of Mustafa and Simba. The Flamingo conga line has been used by Disney in several films, but never with Jane Lynch providing an over-the-top laugh-out-loud voicing. The evil hyenas bearing down on Yuvi may look strangely menacing and familiar, but it works and is appropriate to the story. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and, it serves to engage the audience.

Adventure abounds and keeps one engaged – often with mouth agape and eyes mesmerized – with everything from the beauty of the forest to attack of the bees (one of the coolest scenes in the film) to an Indiana Jones type race through a mine shaft. Gotta love little Yuvi’s “Oh look! A train!” when he sees the mining cart and tracks…. Too cute. The innocence that leads to adventure that leads to thinking and figuring out how to move ahead and get out of sticky situations is beyond welcoming. This is how kids think and view the world. I can so see my 8 and 10 year old nephews going, “Oh look! A train! Let’s get in!” and then taking off, jetting around but then having to figure out what to do next. DELHI SAFARI engages the audience both visually and intellectually.

The messaging of the film is clear but never over-bearing or preachy. This is a wonderful story about family and friendship, forgiveness (bad Monkey!!!), the coming together of people and animals that look different, talk different – we may look different, but inside we’re really the same – and with the environment and deforestation as the core, is fantastic. We’ve seen animated stories about the environment, but not the specific issue of deforestation. (I think one of the best films on that issue to date is Sean Connery’s Medicine Man ). Honing in on this specific issue allows for real perspective and for kids to grasp environmental concepts more clearly. Sometimes it’s a lot easier to identify with one aspect as opposed to the entire issue. If kids and adults can’t see from this film that the world really is intertwined and animals and people are dependent upon each other and face the same challenges in each world, then there is no hope for those folks. Particularly impressive is the voicing of Tara Strong and Tom Kenny who, as Yuvi and Alex, respectively, imbue a plucky spirit into each, embodying the concept that even the smallest creatures/kids can make a difference and create a big roar.

My one big concern, however, is the opening scene with little Yuvi and that big tear rolling down his cute little face as he tells us about losing his father and now losing his home. Such heartbreak is not really an ideal way to open an animated children’s film……It may upset some of the littlest moviegoers….it made me sad. BUT, having said that, thankfully the filmmakers do a quick but organic transition into an upbeat happy sequence with father and son leopard bonding and a song to soothe a mad mom. And let’s just say how great Vanessa Williams is with her voicing of Begum. Soothing, comforting. You can almost feel your own head in your mom’s lap with her stroking your hair.

And what would any film from India be without music In DELHI SAFARI we find a wonderful blend of African beats, Bollywood and pop – there is something for everyone. Very much appreciated is that the music never overpowers the story or the film. It compliments it and serves as part of the story.

Also concerning are the animal names. I know this is DELHI SAFARI and the film comes from India, but the names may not be memorable for the audience. However, while the names may not be memorable, the characters, the color, the story, the heart and the fun will be – for years to come. Sign me up for this safari!

Delhi Safari is a 2012 computer animated film directed by Nikhil Advani and produced by Krayon Pictures. Although the film's origin is India, the film was dubbed in English shortly after its release date and appeared in American theaters in early December of the same year.

Somewhere in the jungles of India, a leopard cub named Yuvi is busy bonding with his father when construction vehicles and workers roam into the area for deforestation. Although Yuvi manages to get away, the cub's father is killed, and he (as well as the other animals) come to the conclusion that they need to relocate before the humans kill anyone else. After much arguing, and realizing that the humans can easily kill them all if they go to war, the animals decide to talk to the humans in order to make them change their minds about destroying their home. With the help of an English-speaking parrot named Alex, Yuvi, his mother, and a ragtag group of other animals venture across India towards Delhi, in hopes that they can convince the humans to reconsider the deforestation.

While the film isn't very popular in America , Delhi Safari has much critical acclaim in India. The film won the National Film Award for Best Animated Film in 2012, as well as the award for Best Feature Film at FICCI FRAMES 2012.

• Decoy Protagonist : There's a reason why Sultan isn't even on the cover poster for this movie...
• A Dog Named "Dog" : Pigeon is a pigeon.
• The hot-headed Bajrangi is first seen calling all the other animals cowards for wanting to leave their home after the humans kill Sultan, while he wants to resort to violence, as opposed to talking to them peacefully.

• Heinous Hyena : Kaalia and his pack act as minor antagonists on the journey to Delhi.
• Informed Species : Bagga is supposedly a sloth bear, but looks absolutely nothing like one, more like a brown bear.

• Shout-Out : Pigeon mentions that Alex can speak various languages, including Klingon .
• Tell Him I'm Not Speaking to Him : After the group learns Bajrangi intentionally try to have Alex get eaten by hyenas despite how important he is to their mission, Beggum tells Bagga to tell Bajrangi that he is no longer a part of their group.
• Those Two Guys : Bharela and Marela, the two primates who are never seen away from each other.
• Bajrangi. He started out as a hot-headed Jerkass who only listened to himself, but he finally understood that violence would solve nothing and that he needed to become nicer.
• Alex. Started off as a pompous, sarcastic bird who preferred his pampered life. Eventually realized that he needed to help the other animals and convince the humans that what they were doing was hurting the environment.
• Violence Really Is the Answer : Discussed shortly after Sultan dies, where Bajrangi seriously considers going to war with the humans. Ultimately subverted in the end, where the protagonists solve the crisis by merely talking to the humans, because they know that violence will only lead to an endless circle of more violence .
• Wasn't That Fun? : After jumping into the water to avoid the bees during the mine cart chase, Bagga jokingly suggests going on the cart ride again. Begum doesn’t think what he said was funny.

The movie starts out in Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Mumbai, India. Yuvi, a small leopard cub, begins to cry about losing his home. The actual movie then starts with Yuvi and his dad, Sultan, play-fighting in the forest. Yuvi's mom Begum, shows up and gets angry at both of them for roughhousing. Later that day, bulldozers come and start ramming trees down while chasing after Sultan and his cub. Begum arrives at the scene when the hunters get ready to shoot the leopard and his cub. Sultan ends up picking Yuvi up with his mouth and throws him toward Begum for safety, then he pounces and roars at one of the hunters before getting shot.

All of the animals mourn Sultan's death and suggest moving somewhere else. Yuvi goes to visit the mail-owl the next morning, and is accidentally told about a parrot who lives in the city. The parrot's name is Alex and is said to speak a total of 5 human languages and can possibly speak to the humans. Bajrangi the monkey is obsessed with destroying humanity and making all humans suffer to the point where they'll go extinct. He is loaded with firearm and weapons and is determined to kill humans. However, Yuvi and the mail-owl manipulate Bajrangi into going into helping them go into the city to find Alex the parrot. Baga the guru bear, Yuvi the leopard cub, Bajrangi the monkey(along with his two monkey sidekicks Marella and Barella) decide to travel to the city to find Alex the parrot without Begum knowing. They reach the modern home of a Bollywood movie director and find his parrot recording his owner's girlfriend, which then Bajrangi grabs Alex by the neck and takes him back to the jungle.

Begum gets angry at Baga for taking Yuvi to the city where he could've gotten killed, but she is even more angry at Bajrangi and Alex for bickering throughout the whole scene. Alex shows to be a cunning parrot who could care less about the status of the wildlife. While ranting, he accidentally mentions Delhi, India's capital. The entire group of animals gets curious and Alex starts refusing to help them. A bulldozer suddenly comes almost running them over before they escaped.

Alex the parrot, Bajrangi the monkey and his sidekicks, Baga the bear, and Begum the leopardess set off on the path to Delhi, leaving Yuvi behind while singing "Delhi Safari, hey!". They climb onto a train which starts going north to Gujarat. During the night, all the animals were sound asleep except Bajrangi. Bajrangi starts thinking of killing Alex in his sleep. He attempts to avoid Baga's wrath by slowly opening the noisy machete knife in order to kill Alex. Right when he holds the knife up in the air in excitement, Alex wakes up and starts screaming. The train immediately stops at a station and people outside start panicking, and a woman starts yelling that she saw a leopard. Thinking that Alex's scream gave them away, the group then wakes up and quickly hide behind the crates. Out of nowhere, Yuvi opens the door and slowly peeks in asking if they're there before the humans start shouting that they see the animal. The humans then start running toward the boxcar seeing nothing there and going back to usual business. The animals sneaked out of the boxcar into a field before the train went off into the distance.

Begum then starts questioning Yuvi on why he gave them away. Yuvi claims he saw his dad appear to him and tell him to go with them, while Baga claims it was just a dream. Alex starts to re-enact a court scene accusing Bajrangi of trying to kill him, in which the two start quarelling. Begum then gets angry, sternly tells Bajrangi "not one more word from you", and starts threatening Alex that he'll never reach home without them. Baga then convinces Bajrangi to reluctantly dump all of his weapons. They then encounter a bat named "Raju" who cues a song showing them a way to Delhi. The group reaches the desert, and by this point Alex is suicidal and tries to make Bajrangi squeeze his neck. A moment later, they come across a small abandonned temple full of adult British Sikh flamingos who openly welcome them to their home in the form of a song. Alex and Bajrangi do a duel during the song and Alex ends up winning. The main flamingo couple are the ones that mostly do all the talking, the husband advises the group not to go near Kalia's cave full of vicious cannibal hyenas. Bajrangi pretends to be unconscious on the ground while hearing all of this until he eerily opens one of his eyes after the husband flamingo gave the warning.

It's midnight and all the animals are asleep. Sultan then appears to Yuvi and wakes him up. Sultan warns Yuvi of enemies being at work during that hour, and that enemy being "one of their own". They start hearing Bajrangi laughing as he ties Alex to a rock at the dark caves Yuvi loudly questions Bajrangi and panicks, but before they escape Kalia the hyena appears and intimidates the two. Before they know it, they are surrounded by a whole clan of hyenas. Yuvi begs for Kalia to let them go, Kalia replies saying "if you can kill us, you're free to go!". Yuvi's mom glances over the rock and starts roaring over the cave. Kalia grabs Yuvi by the neck in order to scare Begum, but Yuvi bites Kalia's paw and runs to his mom. While Kalia is crying, ranting, and insulting the cub, Begum angrily goes up to Kalia while he begs for mercy. She then hits him to the ground and all the hyenas run off and whimper. Bajrangi starts yelling taunts at them while they run off, right there is when Begum demands that Bajrangi leaves for good.

While Begum is scolding Bajrangi for "trying to silence our only voice of speaking to the humans", Yuvi interrupts by saying Alex lost his voice due to screaming. The whole group loses hope and looks at Bajrangi as the reason for ruining everything. In the morning they are still at the cave, trying many treatments while Bajrangi is loaded with guilt.

The group goes back to the temple, and seeks help from the flamingos. The flamingo couple instead starts bickering about their reviews in major cities of the world. Begum asks again if they know how to fix Alex's voice, in which they recommend "Jatti Buti Baba", a wise old tortoise who lives in a cavern, and hasn't been seen in years. While Bajrangi is enthusiatic in finding this "holy man", they eventually reach a shell where Bajrangi sticks his head in the butt area of the holy turtle. He then comes out of his shell and advises them to gather natural resources in order to restore hsi voice. The entire group glances at Bajrangi to do all these tasks since he caused the problem. Bajrangi is determined to heal and serve Alex like a slave no matter the cost.

As Bajrangi takes on each task to gather sandalwood and roses, Alex rudely sabotages Bajrangi in which he gets hurt and barely avoids losing the items he collected. Bajrangi then climbs onto a tree over a waterfall in order to get figs for Alex. Alex discards every fig that Bajrangi throws to Alex. Nearing the end of the task, Alex deliberatly points to the fig on the weak branch. Bajrangi refused until Alex started to fake choke as if he's in pain. Bajrangi slowly climbs over the weak branch before it breaks, causing him to fall into the waterfall and get revived by Baga.

Later that night, Bajrangi's former sidekicks come to him behind bushes denouncing him as their leader. Bajrangi starts scolding them on how they are not good followers, they left before after he kept telling them to get lost.

The next morning, Alex is seen tripping Bajrangi into the dirt while he relentlessly stays by Alex's side as a servant. Bajrangi gets back up and keeps his cool, he decides to start telling the story of Lord Hanuman. When Bajrangi asks what Lord Hanuman says before he fights any demon, Alex sees a pretty female parrot and accidentally says "Wow, what a hottie". Bajrangi then repeats "Wow, what a hottie" but then immediately starts getting angry at Alex. Bajrangi starts chasing Alex through the field. The group notices and starts running after them. Bajrangi then pounces on Alex from the back and rams him into a tree. He picks up a rock and starts walking towards Alex complaining about his suffering and demands he repeats what he said. Alex then asks "What did Hanuman say when things got really bad?". Bajrangi answers "Hail Lord Ram." and accidentally hits the rock onto a beehive right above them.

The bees, which are styled to look like the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom, start chasing after Bajrangi and Alex. The bees get into a helicopter formation and start chasing the entire group into a canyon and shooting bees at them, Baga is stung in the butt several times. They run into a mine and shut the door to hold the bees off for a few minutes. They all jump onto a minecart and ride through the cave like a rollercoaster. Begum starts badgering Bajrangi until Alex finally screams “SHUT UP!”, revealing that he never lost his voice in the first place.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com! Josh Nisbet Director, State of CA Public Sector

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It! Patti Petree Winston Salem, NC

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents. Christine Doherty Machesney Park, IL

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together. Scott Heathe Vancouver, BC

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!! Patrina Streety Moreno Valley California

Delhi Safari

Release date: 19 october, 2012, delhi safari movie.

The residents of the national park welcome a bright sunny morning, birds singing away merrily, animals running around with joy, Sultan and his cub playing by the lakeside. The jungle has an air of joy and peace. A distant thunder breaks the silence and a closer look reveals the jungle ...  being raided by man and machine destroying everything in its path. Sultan tries to fight a futile battle and ends up losing his life.

The night has a very tense air as all the animals gather around with fear in their heart, discussing their fate of losing their habitat to human beings. Yuvi, Sultan's cub, tries to reason with the elders, urging them to not give up their homes.

Everyone is convinced that it is futile to fight humans, and the only option is to leave and move to a safer home. The hot headed militant monkey, Bajrangi, wants to declare a full scale war against the humans taking over their homes. But the anger management Guru, Bagga the bear, has a more civilized suggestion. He believes that all problems could be sorted out through peaceful discussions. So the best way to get back their homes is to have a dialog with the humans, win their hearts and their own homes. The only problem being that no one can speak the human language. Air India, the pigeon recommends Alex, the talking parrot who can come to their rescue.

With hope in their hearts, Yuvi, Bajrangi, and Bagga decide to kidnap Alex from his luxurious golden cage. However, their hope turns to despair as the talking parrot Alex hates animals. Loves humans. And wants nothing to do with the problems of these barbaric animals especially, the primitive ape. Bajrangi. Also Alex is sure that such issues need to be addressed in the parliament at Delhi.

Now starts a journey from Mumbai to Delhi. From hate to love. From enmity to friendship as a motley group of five animals travel across India with a message. A message that they discover not only plagues their homes, but the homes and lives of thousands of other animals on the way.

The journey across the country becomes a journey where enemies become friends and a family comes together to fight for what rightfully belongs to them - A HOME.

However, from time to time she'd get upset with Sultan and spoke about how she felt. On the mission to Delhi, she was determined to change the human's mind about animals. She always wanted to protect the team, and tell them something if they were wrong. After the trip, Begum had become more relaxed since Sultan died.

She always encouraged the team to keep going for the sake of the rest of the animals. When she met Tiger, however, she began to doubt the mission.

He's a voice that managed to convince Begum, not to give up the journey to Delhi when times got hard.. She loved Sultan so much, that he had a big influence on her and on her decisions. She knew that he could be trusted with Yuvi, thus why they walked through the forest. 

Begum loves her son very much. The cub always stayed close to his mother, especially when they went to Delhi. When Yuvi and Sultan, while on a walk, heard a noise from behind the trees. It turned out to be a bulldozer. During their escape from the bulldozer, when Yuvi had almost died under the machine. In bit to save Yuvi, Sultan tossing him to Begum. Together, they watched Sultan's unfortunate death.

In the evening, after Sultan's death, all animals mourned their king. However, they made a terrible decision - they would leave the jungle for their own safety. Yuvi tells them to fight, because that would be Sultan's will. The cub also says that Sultan always considered them all as his strength and courage.

Delhi Safari is a heartwarming and adventurous animated movie that came out in 2012. The movie revolves around different animals that embark on a journey together to protest against the destruction of their forest home in India. The film starts with a group of animals gathered in their forest home, discussing the sudden appearance of humans and their aggressive attempts to cut down the trees. The animals fear losing their homes and their lives due to the encroachment of humans.

However, there is a ray of hope for the animals as a wise, old parrot named Alex (voiced by Govinda) tells them about a story of hope. Alex shares a tale of a group of animals who set on a journey from Mumbai to Delhi to speak to the Prime Minister of India about their plight, and the humans ended up changing their mind about destruction.

Inspired by the story, the animals decide to embark on a journey to Delhi to plead their case to the government. The group of animals includes a cub leopard named Yuvi, a wise old Baxter monkey, a dear squirrel called squeaker, and a colorful tropical bird named Bajrangi.

Once they start their journey, the obstacles start to pile up. They come across a pack of wild dogs led by a ferocious Alpha dog named Sultan. Sultan despises the idea of animals and humans living together and terrorizes the group on several occasions.

After a few escapades, the animals come across a street-smart pigeon named Charlie (voiced by Akshaye Khanna), who agrees to become their guide to Delhi. It's revealed that he is motivated by his own selfishness as he wants to be famous and recognized as a hero after helping save the animals.

The group of animals faces numerous challenges during their journey to Delhi. They encounter human settlements, fast-moving trains, a storm, and even an attack by a poacher. Charlie proves his worth by helping the animals escape and showing great bravery in the face of danger.

Urmila Matondkar provides her voice for Begum, a female black buck the group encounters on their way. Begum is a victim of human greed and had been captive in a zoo, longing to be reunited with her family.

As the animals journey nears its end and they get closer to Delhi, the challenges become tougher. But in the end, they finally reach their destination and are met with a huge gathering of spectators and media.

Delhi Safari is a beautifully crafted tale with a strong message about the importance of conservation of natural habitats. It features excellent animation and great voice acting by the cast. The movie is packed with humor, action, and emotion that will keep the viewers enthralled throughout.

In conclusion, Delhi Safari is a delightful animated movie that is suitable for all ages. It tells a story of camaraderie and courage that teaches the audience about the value of natural habitats and respecting other beings on this planet. It is a must-watch for everyone who wants to be entertained and wants to learn something about conservation as well.

Delhi Safari is a 2012 animated movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.5 and a MetaScore of 37.
