Adventures of Tarzan

Apart from the last half an hour of the film,where Tarzan was dragged to the circus, overall the film was Entertaining. Song videos were shot at good locations but the songs itself seemed to have been prepared at the last minute, not catchy at all. They were worst. As required Tarzan character played dumb throughout. Some realistic grunts and animal sounds could have been added if properly directed. In all Tarzan films chimps played an important role but there was no interaction with them here. Only elephants seemed to be leading. Lions and tigers appearing only in songs and last half hour and again no interaction with Tarzan. Kimi suited her role but the first half hour of Kimi's appearance was definitely unsuitable for family audience and more aiming towards some low class audience. Actor Hermant fitted into his 'Tarzan' character perfectly more than any other actor could have both looks and physique wise. His script and acting could have been more productive.

Watch this just for beautiful and bold actress Kimi Katkar.. Otherwise boring movie.

This right mess of a film only conjures up Mowgli on acid, not Tarzan. It seems to be greatly influenced by the next worst Tarzan film which starred Bo Derek. Other unauthorized versions such as those made in Spain with Steve Hawkes or Richard Yestaran come off much better than this one. Mr. Birje, though looking pretty good, has little to do but act as a prop for Ms. Kimi's posing and silly inappropriate production numbers until the last half hour of the film. The pacing drags tediously with the few action sequences shot in slo-mo making them devoid of interest to match the rest of the tedium until the grand finale. I don't know which of the main characters dropped the most acid, but they all seem bizarre, especially Kimi as "Rubi" (don't take your love to town) who spends most of her time screeching like Olive Oyl or singing goofy ditties to Tarzan even including "Do-Re-Mi" from the Sound of Music. Even the jungle is weird since its denizens include both wild Indian tigers and African lions. The snake that bites "Rubi" is a cobra, so the lion would seem a bit de trop. The (welcome) finale is almost worth sitting through the first 3/4 of the film which would be greatly improved by aggressive cutting. And yes, Ms. Kimi certainly does win the wet shirt contest, hands down. But if the producers wanted to "ape" a Tarzan film they should have paid more attention to the Barker and Scott films for models.

Apart from being a typical bollywood movie of the 80s(with disco music) this one dares more than others. Intead of thinking about the dumb muscled Tarzan u gonna be quite impressed with the saucy girl Kimi, who is pretty bold for an Indian movie. See through tops of luscious Kimi are worth the average movie. A landmark in boldness in an Indian movie, this one has good songs though. Tarzan is again unintentionally funny but entertaining nevertheless. An overall happy movie, no disturbing violence, only romance in the jungle.

One of my childhood hero Hemant birje is Tarzan and my favourite animals in the animal kingdom lions, tigers and elephants and full of adventure. Except for one song the whole movie is good for families. This movie is entertaining. Dilip Tahl played the good antagonist and Om shivpuri played good supporting role of father of heroine. The tribesmen looked less menacing and more of homeless beggars but the leader RS malik aka Gorilla played a convincing role as a huge menacing look giant. Unfortunately there is no chimpanzee sidekick as the film is set in the jungles of India in Madhumalai National Park. Tarzan looks good and it was the debut film of Hemant birje.
