The story is very relatable and is much-needed in today’s times when man v/s animal conflicts are on the rise not only in Mumbai but throughout the country. Delhi Safari’s biggest strength is its writing and characters besides of course, the 3D animation. But who’ll communicate with the humans? Enter Alex the parrot (Akshaye Khanna) who is kidnapped from his master, a film director, who can speak human languages and who reluctantly becomes part of the ‘Delhi Safari’. But Yuvi, along with Bajrangi the monkey (Govinda) and Bagga the bear (Boman Irani) convince Begum of not leaving their home and also come up with a plan – the animals should meet the concerned humans at the union ministry in Delhi and voice their problems to them. Yuvi’s mother and Sultan’s mother Begum (Urmila Matondkar) gets a shock and decides to leave the forest immediately. Yuvi gets saved but Sultan is shot dead by the construction supervisor. He runs away from the ‘monster’ and enters a construction site of a residential building, situated within or maybe at the periphery of forest premises. But what if they are able to put their problems across to the lawmakers? This is the idea on which Delhi Safari is based on and turns out to be a decent fare! The story of the movie: One fine day, Sultan the leopard (Suniel Shetty) is roaming in his home – Sanjay Gandhi National Park – with his cub, Yuvi (Swini Khara) when suddenly he almost gets killed by a giant bulldozer. Animals can’t speak language of humans and hence suffer silently. However, it’s increasing day by day and more and more residential and commercial projects in forest areas are being okayed by the government. With increasing awareness about this sensitive issue, the incidence of such occurrences should have lessened. Forests are being cut down to make way for human settlements.

Humans are to blame for most of these man v/s animal conflicts. Reports of leopards and other wild animals entering into human habitat have become very common. However, this world record comes with its set of challenges as well. Mumbai is proud to be the only place in the world to have a national park in the city limits.
