A charming but preachy animated ride that preaches louder than it entertains.

Critic consensus
Delhi Safari receives a mixed-to-moderate reception, with critics viewing it as a sincere and welcome addition to Indian animation that works for both children and adults. The film's charming characters, humorous dialogue, and substantive story are commonly highlighted as strengths. However, multiple critics note that the film's heavy-handed environmental messaging makes it preachy and detracts from the entertainment, with some also pointing out that it falls short of international animation standards.

Despite these quibbles, the film works on account of its charming characters and some hilarious dialogue. I'm going with three out of five for director Nikhil Advani's Delhi Safari. Take your kids for this one, chances are both of you will come out smiling.

When it makes the film preachy, some of the fun is leached out. Save the environment at all cost, but keep the entertainment ticking.
Film review ·
That the story holds weight also works in favour of the film. If only Advani had not strayed from the social subject and made a tighter and breezier film. Watch this with your kids and you're guaranteed smiles all the way.
Film review ·
The animation team at Krayon Pictures and the writers Nikhil Advani, Suresh Nair and Girish Dhamija deserve a pat on their backs for the sincere attempt they put in making Delhi Safari a fun film.
Film review ·
On the whole, DELHI SAFARI offers something new on the platter. There's ample for the kids, but there's enough for the grown-ups as well.
Film review ·
Delhi Safari is a welcome change from the regular mythology/modern-take-on-mythology. Though it may not match up to international standards, the humour element and Alex-Bajrangi make it an enjoyable watch.
