Human Traffic review – one-crazy-night 90s clubbing comedy provides euphoric rush of nostalgia

This loved-up ensemble piece is cheerfully apolitical, pro-drugs and pro-hedonism – and features a very funny film debut from Danny Dyer A warm nostalgic glow surrounds this likably daft and zeitgeisty one-crazy-night clubbing adventure from 1999. It’s a Cool Britannia time-capsule written and directed by Justin Kerrigan, starring John Simm, Shaun Parkes, Lorraine Pilkington, Nicola Reynolds and a cherubic young Danny Dyer making his movie debut. Dyer’s character ends up down the pub moodily swearing off drugs for ever – and if we wondered how that was going to turn out, we can flashforward to his performance this year in Nick Love’s Marching Powder , in which he does much the same thing. Human Traffic revolves around a group of gurning mates: a classic 90s ensemble of mononymous characters – Jip, Koop, Lulu, Nina and Moff – individually introduced in freeze-frame voiceover in that distinctive 90s Britmovie style, as popularised by Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting and Guy Ritchie’s Lock, ...

BREAKING! Akshay Kumar starrer Welcome To The Jungle delays release to 2025

Fans of Akshay Kumar will have to wait a bit longer to see him in the much-anticipated comedy film Welcome To The Jungle. The film's release, originally slated for Christmas 2024, has been pushed back to 2025.

Production delays impact Welcome To The Jungle’s release date

The postponement is reportedly due to the ongoing production. The film still requires multiple shooting schedules, making meeting the tight Christmas 2024 deadline impossible. This shift in release date avoids a potential box office clash with Aamir Khan's Sitare Zameen Par and the Hollywood release of Mufasa: The Lion King, both slated for December 2024.

Welcome To The Jungle’s original release plans

Earlier reports indicated that producer Firoz A Nadiadwala intended to release Welcome To The Jungle during the lucrative Christmas weekend, mirroring the release strategy of the first Welcome film in 2007. However, as per latest updates, the production timeline necessitated a change in plans.

The film stars Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Johny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Mika Singh, Rahul Dev, Mukesh Tiwari, Sharib Hashmi, Inaamulhaq, Zakir Hussain, Yashpal Sharma, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueline Fernandez and Disha Patani. Sanjay Dutt, too, was a part of the film originally but has now opted out.

On a similar note, it is worth mentioning here that Aamir Khan has recently completed shooting for Sitare Zameen Par. A video has gone viral on social media which shows Aamir Khan spending quality time with the cast and the crew of the film. The actor is seen sharing a conversation in the video. Another photo shows a clapboard of the film, which confirms the shoot has wrapped.
