Akshay Kumar and team deliver a laugh riot: HT on 'Welcome...'

Hindustan Times called 'Welcome to the Jungle' a "laugh riot", awarding it three stars out of five. "Packed with gags that work, performances that elevate the comedy, and a narrative that hardly gets dull," the review read. The Indian Express, however, said the film groans under the presence of all the heavyweights, giving it 1.5/5 stars.
