The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag (2005)
Appallingly twisted account. Awful, terrible production.
This is a truly awful (mal)adaptation of what is instead an incredibly fascinating and complex real story at the beginning of the 20th century. The facts are put out of context and twisted beyond belief, the characters are completely out of line with the real people they pretend to refer to, the acting is abysmal, the storyline false and tacky, and whoever was involved in this very clearly never read a line of Corbett's books. This cheap and disgusting production is the ultimate insult to the memory of Jim Corbett, a man of incredibly high integrity, courage, and commitment. It is an insult to the people of Kumaon and the Ibbotsons. It is ultimately an insult to the viewer and whoever enjoyed Corbett's tales. I give it 0 out of 10 and would sack the whole production team on the spot. Shame on them.
