    More of sex, less of Tarzan.

    Adventures of Tarzan review :

    Planned as a quickie by B Subhash, Tarzan introduced Kimi Katkar and Hemant Birje. The film became famous for Kimi's skin show and her bold scenes with Hemant and was declared a box office hit.

    Being an A rated film, the film was strictly out of bound for me as far as theatrical viewing was concerned. So, I hired a video cassette and stealthily saw it when my parents were away. Haha!

    Bappi Lahiri's collaboration with B Subhash was always a hit and Tarzan's music also topped the charts that year.

    The film was considered a B grade effort by critics who dismissed Hemant as wooden actor. While Kimi Katkar made a decent career even acting opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Hum (1991), Hemant Birje couldnt capitalise on this films success and got relegated to secondary roles and Ramsay films.

    A sequel was planned by B Subhash somewhere in early 2000s but never made.

    Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

    Watch it just for Kimi Katkar

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

    Outrageous nonsense, sexy Katkar. Better avoided

    Yup, this one is as bad as it sounds. A remake of Tarzan in a Hindi film. Hemant Birje is the muscle-bound stud with nary an acting muscle in his body. He is matched in the non-acting department by the sexy Kimi Katkar. Admittedly, there are some nice scenes of these two rolling around and getting naughty in the jungle. However, the bulk of the film is atrocious with next to nil production values, jungle natives who seem to have stepped right out of the 1930s and a screenplay clearly written by a four year old. There is a little campy fun to be had, but its just too long to suffer through. Avoid.

    Overall 2/10

    Mowgli on acid.....

    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.

    There are some good adventure in this 'Adventures of Tarzan'

    Adventures of Tarzan is a adventure film directed by Babbar Subhash, starring Hemant Birje, Dalip Tahil, Kimi Katkar and Late Om Shivpuri.

    While on the lookout for a fabled tribe in a forest, Ruby happens to meet Tarzan, an ape-like man, and falls in love with him. However, her father and her fiance have evil plans for him.

    The film which was more famous for sensuous Kimi Katkar the masculine Hemant Birje and their bold scenes deserves a little more appreciation then this. The first unofficial Tarzan film has been backed by some good acting by the leads and some decent songs primarily in the melodious voice of Alisha Chinoy.

    The plot of the film is decent and execution is also decent, this film is not that exciting but still will never disappoint. The screenplay of the film is balanced and climax is also decent.

    Acting is decent by all the characters. Songs and BGM are good. The film can be watched once.
