India: Kingdom of the Tiger

Rating:
Summary: Fabulous!
Review: I've seen this film several times and I must admit that it is by far the best IMAX film ever made! The DVD is very good, complete with some nice extras- but if you get a chance see it on the big screen first.

Summary: Title not very appropriate
Review: Thid DVD is essentially a documentary on Jim Corbett. He is the prime focus, and is portrayed as the man responsible for starting movement to protect tigers. It has boasted quite a lot about India and indian values. However, silently, the onus of tiger killing has been put on indians. It says that the indian kings loved killing tigers, which some britishers too picked up a little in the beginning. Jim Corbett is described as a guy who killed tigers not for his passion, but only for saving indian villagers from man-eating tigers. In these killings, Corbett realised the importance of tiger protection. It could be a true story, but I doubt its integrity. And yeah, the title of the DVD should have been more apt, for example, Jim Corbett: The Protector, in which case I wouldn't have bought it.
