This [i]Jumanji[/i] isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s a good time nonetheless
It’s a little schlocky, sure. But what elevates [i]Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle[/i] beyond its premise is the performances. This cast is [i]committed[/i] to these roles, especially The Rock, who seems to have trained all his life for the role of dweeb with massive biceps. Black, too, manages to play a teenage girl without denigrating teenage girls; the mannerisms are recognizable but not derogatory. And Gillan — who starred alongside John Cho on the short-lived and secretly brilliant 2014 sitcom [i]Selfie[/i] — has always been a brilliantly physical comedian with impeccable delivery; if it took an action-comedy to let her do her thing on the big screen, then I’m fine with that.

जिंदगी की राहों में रंजो गम के मेले हैं.
भीड़ है क़यामत की फिर भी हम अकेले हैं.
