Delhi Safari Movie Synopsis / Preview
Just another day! The animals of Borivili National Park wake up and go about their business as usual. It is an ordinary day for each of them except Yuvi, the young leopard cub. For him it is going to be a day that will change his life forever. For today is the day that he will learn the importance of tradition from his father Sultan – Leader of the Leopards. But his lessons will remain unfinished and end in tragedy, as Sultan will find himself surrounded by humans that will hunt him down and kill him. Humans who have only one agenda. Clear the forests. Kill the animals. Construct the multistory buildings.
So begins our story… A story of how a group of animals – a leopard cub named Yuvi and his mother Begum along with Bajrangi the hot tempered monkey and Dr. Bagga the bear, his anger management guru decide to take their petition to the leader of the humans in Delhi – The ministers that work in the parliament. To achieve this impossible achievement they must do two things. One – kidnap Alex the parrot who can speak the language of the humans and so will become the voice of the animals. And two – travel from Bombay to Delhi.
They manage to do the first one only to be stuck with a parrot that is less animal and more human and only wants to be taken back to his plush apartment in Hiranandani Complex. They overcome this problem by threatening to eat him up. The second problem however, is a little more difficult – the journey.
As the animals make their way from Bombay to Delhi they hitch rides in trains and trucks, walk across mountains and rivers. They meet other animals, some which embrace them and help them while others that want to destroy them. And if the enemy from the outside is not enough to contend with they fight, quarrel and almost end up destroying each other.
The journey across the country becomes a journey where enemies become friends and a family comes together to fight for what rightfully belongs to them – A HOME.
