Shortcut Safari– Shortcut to Learning
2.5 stars
Recently released movie,”Shortcut Safaari – Nature ki Pathshala”, where seven urban kids who get stuck in dense forest – far away from their homes and families during their school outing. The movie can be framed as an attempt to reconnect us with our roots – nature – which they have achieved considerably.
Shortcut Safaari is directed by Amitabha Singh and Produced by Amitabha Singh, Kashyap A Shah and Amigos Fin-o-tainment under the banners of Xebec Films Pvt. Ltd., Amigos Fin-o-tainment. The main theme of the movie is “Nature Conservation/ Environment” along with this it also touches upon the pillars of “cleanliness” and “gender parity”. In fact, it is for the first-time ever that, an Indian director has made a movie associated with nature and kids as its main theme, which is definitely a need of the hour.
The film is entertaining as well as informative. In the movie kids are depicted as “enjoying” the time spent alone in the forest, because they were experiencing nature for the first time.
The movie revolves around seven kids – baby ‘Tara’; big bully ‘Ankur’; smarty ‘Krituporno’; fashionable ‘Hiya’; brave ‘Rahul’; careful ‘Samir’ and wise ‘Shinjini’ – who end up in an car accident and get stranded in the middle of a thick forest. The car driver seeks out to get some help and leaves the children stranded in the middle of the forest. All the children spend their first night inside the broken car but the next day starts to wander inside the forest. This starts a new journey in the life of these seven kids and their involvement with nature.
The cinematography has been completed by Mrinal Desai, who has successfully transferred the forest into life. However, the “poachers” who were deployed to bring comedy in the movie, fail miserably at it. But that seems to be covered by Jimmy Shergill’s entrance as a tribe leader in a pivotal role.
“Shortcut Safaari” comes with an entertaining story of exploration and adventure through the eyes of these children. Who, in turn, gain values on mutual respect, team spirit and perseverance on one hand; and the vital relevance of a sustainable environment with a balanced wildlife on the other. Not a perfect film, it is full of imperfections and slightly flawed storyline. But, overall a good attempt. We need cinema like this to connect with kids at a personal level.

Star Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Johnny Lever, Varun Sharma, Boman Irani, Sanjay Mishra
What’s Good: Dilwale may prove to be an effortless entertainer for those who go without any expectations from it. The film never promised to be a cerebral pleaser hence, if you go with the flow, you may even enjoy it. It shifts gears between action, romance and comedy and guess what all three have in common? Cars!
What’s Bad: Bringing back the most-loved Jodi of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol together, the film does not accomplish in capturing their epic romance. The comic capers start to fall apart soon thanks to their repetitive flavor.
First Half Would Be A Good Time!
Watch or Not?: For those who love to sit back and enjoy movies, this one could entertain you. I couldn’t thoroughly enjoy the film because of its highly predictable storyline. Although for all Rohit Shetty fans, this is another out and out commercial film that they would enjoy.
The story revolves around Meera (Kajol) and Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) who belong to two Mafia families having conflicts. Operating in Bulgaria, both Meera and Raj meet in a chance encounter that soon leads to them falling in love. The duo then go on a date that is corny enough, consisting of flowers, ice-creams, dinner and a dance. But, then there is a major twist heading our way.
Just when you think love is in the air, guns are fired, blood is flown and soon the two lovers are forced to find separate ways. Strangely, both Meera and Raj have younger siblings who are oblivious of their pasts. Veer (Varun Dhawan) is Raj’s charming younger brother where as Ishita (Kriti Sanon) is Kajol’s younger sister.
PERFORMANCE WISE SHARUKH KAJOL AND VARUN DHAWAN EXCELLENT.
Photography and foreign locals are beautifully picturised. Couple of songs are very good. Editing is brisk . Rohit Shetty once again comes out with flaying colours.
15 years later, the ‘adhoori kahaani’ of Raj and Meera comes back to haunt them when their siblings Veer and Ishita fall in love with each other as they now stay in the same town.
Raj after leaving his mafia business is now a car re-model and garage guy where as Meera owns a shack in Goa. (Yeah! A little far fetched how both move all the way from Bulgaria to Goa!)
Will Raj and Meera get over their past for their siblings? Will they rekindle their love as well is what the film further unfolds.
On the whole this film will defiantly make every one happy as far as financial aspects are concerned.
