Jung (1996) Reviews
Mithun, Ajay--Thrills Galore!
Best film of Mithun's where Rambo Rajkumar is not credited as the action director.Belongs up there with the classics like Jodidar and Yamraaj...best film of Ajay's I've yet seen...Mineshaft sequence superior to Spielberg's sequence in Temple of Doom...also best use of a windmill since Man of La Mancha
Below Average Action Flick, similar to Hulchul(1995)
Ajay Devgan was another typical action hero who only received critical acclaim when he destroyed his action hero image by doing meaningful films like Zakhm(1998). This movie Jung(1996) is one of his below average action films. Jung(1996) isn't a bad film but certain elements in the film don't let this film succeed to it's fullest. Firstly, the film is a typical action film with the good vs. evil theme so the film needs to have good performances, good direction, good editing etc. However, the film only partially succeeds as the film has it's share of flaws. The film also happens to be similar to Anees Bazmee's directional debut, the Ajay Devgan flop film Hulchul(1995). The only difference is that instead of Vinod Khanna, Mithun Chakraborty is playing the cop who is the elder relative of Ajay Devgan. The film has some well handled scenes like the Ajay-Mithun scenes but they seem to be copied from Hulchul. In Hulchul, Vinod Khanna had similar dialogs and here too he opposes Ajay Devgan as he is a police officer and the law sentences based on evidence. The scenes involving Aditya Pancholi are bad because he terribly overacts as the good Ram and the bad Billa. There are some cheesy scenes like Ajay dressing like a girl and fighting goons. There are some extremely stupid scenes like the court one where Ajay Devgan is angry on Rambha and she comes into the court room and talks all romantic which is extremely unrealistic. Therefore, T Rama Rao's direction falters in parts. He fails to make this flick as good as his previous hit Mithun film called Raavan Raaj(1995) which was a bit flawed but handled much better than this. The climax is typical and the action in the mine shaft is stupid, it doesn't make any sense. The mine shaft is probably not even that big but the scene goes on for 10-15 minutes(a long shaft). Mithun Chakraborty repeats his cop act which he did better in Raavan Raaj(1995). Here, his act is nothing great and his performance is adequate. Ajay Devgan repeats his Hulchul act and he does good again but this role is something he can do in his sleep. He does overact is some scenes. Rambha with a squeaky voice is bad and she was never a good actress in my opinion. The heroine playing Mithun's wife and Ajay's sister in law is OK. Sadashiv Amrapukar plays the same typical villain he has been playing since his debut. He only excelled as a villain in Sadak(1992) in my opinion. Aditya Pancholi is bad and he terribly overacts as Billa. As Ram, he is average. The rest of the cast provide decent support. Stunts are average and the raw feeling of the action is missing. In fact, some of the stunts are cheesy. This was probably the time when those awful stunt directors like Rambo Rajkumar came to choreography action in Bollywood. Music is typical and none of the songs are memorable. Even Hulchul had some memorable tunes, Jung fails in this aspect too. On the whole, Jung(1996) is a below average action flick which could've been better if it was better directed and if the performances were better.
Mithunda - Ajay combo works in this 1996 flick!
T. Rama Rao directed really good films in his prime, including 'Ravan Raaj: A True Story', which was a blockbuster. Then came 'Jung' an action film, again a successful film. Rama Rao was known for making films that always pleased the hoi polloi, and 'Jung' is no exception. I've seen this film long ago, way back in early 2000's. I enjoyed the film, and it was indeed a pleasure seeing a legend like Mithunda & a Superstar like Ajay Devgan teaming up. Both delivered controlled & likable performances. on the whole 'Jung' is no Masterpiece, but sure is a good one-time watch. I liked it, and I would recommend this film to those who enjoyed 90's cinema throughly.
