Corbett was the greatest hunter that ever lived. But this movie totally missed his character. He was kind and mannerly never cocky and rude like the movie. He was actually a very humble and loved the native villagers. He killed 33 man eating tigers and 2 man eating leopards. Marching thousands of miles and spending 30 years in the elements to save the villagers and protect his country. A real life hero ! R.I.P. JIM

I was 9 years old when my uncle gave me Maneaters of Kumaon, I loved Jim Corbett's way of writing, 75 now and am still rereading his books, they bring back memories of my childhood in India.

Jim Corbett was a great man who did a lot for the local people. He is always honored and respected and people of India will never forget what he did.

A childhood hero of mine and still is as at the age of 66 I still read his books ,spent many hours looking for his books in library’s and bookshops and tucked myself away into his fantastic life when I read them . The world is a sadder place without you,RIP Sir

I come from Kumaoun region, Ranikhet . Still today in my hometown , leopard and tiger used to come near our houses for hunting. It might be shocking for you but we Kumaouni people are very brave and doesn't bother much. I personally have seen a leopard passing by infront of me and it's very normal to hear tiger's roar in my hometown. Proud to be hailed from Kumaoun ❤️ It has the richest culture and tradition in whole Uttarakhand. Thank you !

I stumbled upon Jim Corbett and his enduring legacy while researching Nainital. My grandfather was born and grew up in Nainital. He must have crossed paths with Jim Corbett. My grandfather left India in 1912 for British Guiana. So touching to hear Jim Corbett say, "I love my country." India, moreso than England, was indeed his country. Or, as he says of himself, "an old codger who is married to India."

Who else waiting for Jim corbett hunting stories in Web series? Champawat Tiger, Rudraprayag man eater, Temple tiger, Bachelor of Powalgarh, Panar Man-eater etc.

My father read us Maneaters of Kumaon when we were kids and I've been fascinated with Jim Corbett ever since. Dad passed away last Saturday and watching this is bittersweet. Thank you for uploading this.

I am from the Kumaon region depicted in this documentary. I have been to Jim Corbett national park many a times . the documentary is well done. I remember during my childhood days we used to sit around a campfire and listen to others telling tales about their encounters with a tiger/leopard. I am now away from my home but I miss it a lot. Jim Corbett was truly a pioneer who knew the importance of conservation.

i still read the book once every six months. I still have the original book published in 1938,papers are disintegrating but still i keep it as treasure.

God bless all of you for reading and revering this magnificent Irish. He is not english. Now last week I have contributed all my him Corbett and Kenneth Anderson books to a library in Bangalore. We should encourage our young ones to read about this Good human being.Thanks.

I had "My India" as a non-detailed text for study when I was doing BA way back in 1968-69 and started reading other books written by him. I am 70 now and still read his books often. His style of narration and his love of humanity and honesty can never be forgotten.

There is so much that is missing. Mr. Corbett' name and memory is revered at least in that part of India. His old house, restored, is a museum and his birthday is a holiday.

It pains me to see howforgotten Jim Corbett is .Not only was he a champion hunter , he was also a fine human being with great compassion for local people of British colonies. Perhaps a mainstream film would help this legend reach more people

I am 25 now. I was 13 when I found his books for the first time. Still i can feel the adrenaline rush.

My father first read Man eaters of Kumaon when I was seven. Since then I must have read the book 30 times or more. It inducted into me love for nature and wild animals. I have spent many years in forest land . Due to the great experience and learning from Jim I didn’t shoot Leopard or tiger even after getting in their close proximity and having chances to do so.

I have read all of Corbett's books, and this film was highly accurate. The only false bit was when they had a man interpreting what the old Indian woman said who was speaking Hindi. Corbett was absolutely fluent in Hindi and did not need an interpreter. But, it was done so the viewer could understand what was being said.

I read this book in 1950's when I was a teenager. It reminds me the old time memories. My father and my elder brother introduced me these books at that time. Unfortunately both are not alive. I have read few books of Jim Corbett. Right now there are tears my eyes.

I read Maneaters of Kumaon and leopard of Rudraprayag when I was a boy. These Jim Corbet's books are translated in Bulgarian. I very like these books.

What a man he was! Legends never die. He will always remain in our heart. If today we have Royal Bengal Tigers, its all because of Jim Corbett Sir. He was a true Indian . miss you sir.

My father read this book as a young person. He gave it to me to read when I was a teenager, and I did the same with my son.

It's a rare privilege for me to see the story that still is ever enthralling as it was at my school days...

Jim Corbett did help a lot of Indian villagers and villages by his good deeds and saves a lot of life, most of all his courageous and the love of mankind must be praised. He was a good example of what a pioneer shoul be done. Thank you Corbett for interesting story of your life.

Read all the stories: The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayad; the Temple Tigers etc. Corbett was a man who embodied the best of an alien European born into a culture that contrasted with his English education (He never set foot in England and retired with his sister to Kenya where he died 1955). Yet he embraced India and loved its wildlife and people. Learning from boyhood when langurs could tell him if a tiger was present is some skill few of us English or Indians could hope to copy. I'd have liked to know him in life but alas I was born too late. He is an unsung hero much missed. At least by me if no one else.

I read Maneaters of Kumaon 58 years ago. I have read it to my children. Jim Corbett is one of my favorite people and one of theirs as well. This is a great movie. It puts mental pictures of the wonderful stories of the people and places.

My mothers grand father met Jim Corbett. Being the son of a talukdar(small time landlord) he had the luxury to travel around the country and abroad which at that time meant England to most Indians. From him, my grand father got to know about Jim, and so on. Jim Corbetts name and stories still run through my mothers side of the family. From what I know, this depiction is quite wrong. He never had an accent. He spoke as fluently as any native would, he was not considered a typical white officer but a native influential friendly hunter who happened to be white. He was known for his legendary honesty and his contribution to the rural people of India will never be forgotten. His books should have reached the place where Harry Potter or Twilight books have as truth is much more in every way than fiction yet sadly, most people dont have any idea about the life of this great man. Everyone of his legendary maneater hunts can be turned into a feature film or at least a high budget netflix serial but alas, no one will ever take such steps as they are not masala enough in todays standards to be commercial content.

I loved the movie and I have a whole collection of all his books. I also love all Kennet Anderson books too.both are my favourite jungle story hero. God bless their souls.

The beauty of indian jungles is beyond description. Corbett and kenneth anderson are their bard

I am a big fan of Jim Corbett. Visited his grave in Nayri Kenya and paid my respect. A great man admired and loved by the common Indian hill folks.

I first stumbled across "Man-eaters of Kumaon" when I was 16 and was enthralled. I went on to read all of Corbett's books, and was fortunate as an adult to be able to visit Corbett National Park, Naini Tal, and Corbett's home in Kaladhungi.

As a young boy of 13, I remember how captivated I was on reading Man Eaters of Kumaon. This is a very well made film, but when you read the books, you are transported into that land of amazing natural beauty, of the mesmerizing yet terrifying times when a man eater held entire villages to hostage. I used to be so scared just thinking how hard life must have been for all those poor village folk that lived under constant mortal danger. Even now, 25 years later when I read it, I am amazed how minutely he has described his stalks and dangerous encounters. I hope someday this memoir is made into a film/series so the impact of Corbett gets known to more people.

Jim Corbett was a very brave man. It is interesting to read his books on Man Eater of Kumaon. This film is also good to watch. It gives us some idea about the way Jim Corbett was living in those olden days. Superb.

Brilliantly done I loved it.I first read Jim Corbett's books thirty or forty years ago & was absolutely thrilled by them.When I saw this film I thought it was bound to be a disappointment but not at all,it has brought back wonderful memories & now I think I shall have to read all his books all over again,they are absolutely priceless. Thankyou to all concerned.

Man eaters of Kumaon, I first read the book when in 8th standard, way back in 1981. Fell in love with Corbett immediately. Later after my marriage I happen to visit Corbett national park 4 times during my yearly visit to my native place. But it was only after my visit to Corbett's village, Chotti Haldwani that I was truly surprised to know that he owned the whole village and gifted it to the locals. A true lover of nature and having a gem of heart.

Jim Corbett was more Indian then he was british, for the love and things he did for the wildlife and people of his region is remarkable.

To stalk a man eater alone in the night, in a jungle and from the nearest village from where all the people have fled. Wow what courage and bravery,

I read"Man Eaters of Kumaon",when I was a sophomore in highschool. I never knew there was a movie about him.

Reminds me of my childhood days.When my father used to read stories from the book Man Eaters of Kuamaon.Jim Corbett was made for the jungle.His forsightedness was unthinkable.He knew erverything about the jungle.Really hope that a web series is made on this unbelievably talented gentleman.

A Naturalist, Sober, and Kind Hearted Person with God Gifted Characteristics. His Hunting Skills Were Beyond Doubt Matchless and Second To None. Sir You shall Always be remembered with Great Respect & Honour In our part of the World. RIP.

Awesome, great movie. After spending almost a lifetime in the jungles, its so refreshing to watch this again,though ive seen it several times

I was born in India. I remember them taking me to watch the movie when i was only 5. I’m 53 now.

My friends father was his protege, my friends father went on to work on the indian railways inbetween being called to deal with man eaters all over india. He shot his first tiger and bear within minutes of each other having 'borrowed' a rifle from the armoury at the age of 13. My friends grandfather was an officer in the indian army and best friend of Jim.

Thank you for putting this video on Facebook, I have been looking for this film for 15 years and to see it again is pure magic. Having read all of his books more than once, his story telling is brilliant and paints a vivid picture in your mind, a true masterpiece of a gentleman

I've read nearly every Corbett book he wrote and thank god, this movie is pretty darn close to pure fact. Thanks for sharing this !!!

I have read thousands of books and I have hundreds with me but till day my most favourite book is 'The Man Eaters of Kumaon'. Jim Corbett was a living legend whom people worshipped like God.

Nobody reads anymore, and that is a shame in so many ways. Jim Corbett's book "Man-Eaters of Kumaon is a first rate thriller from beginning to end. A brilliant hunter, tracker and self- taught naturalist who also was a first class writer to boot. In the world of today, were a person is called a hero for getting a cat out of a tree, Jim Corbett stands head and shoulders above all of us. A person who hunted ferocious, supremely cunning man-eating cats, by himself, in an environment that would make us gasp for breath just by looking at it. RIP.

Enjoyed it thoroughly. One of the best book I ever read. I have read it many times and still enjoy it.

I have read all of Jim Corbett books about four times now. I first read them at the age of thirteen, I am now seventy. I love the Tiger and pray it lives in our jungles forever. Man has killed many more tigers in recent times than they have killed our species. We have reached the top of the food chain because of our intelligence and rightfully so. But there is something within our psyche which would hate to see the demise of these magnificent creatures, even the Great White shark than inhabits our world. I think Jim Corbett knew this and tried to get the message through to us in his writing of his books.

The thrill that you would get reading Jim Corbett's book is unparalleled,this documentary is fine but the real book makes you afraid of leaving your very secure house in a concrete jungle that you live in,such is the portrayal of the real terror. Brilliant writing.

I was in 4/5 grade when I was given "The Man Eaters Of Kumaon" read it again and again, then "My India" and anything else I could find.

Really...Great Memory of Sir Jim Cirbett.......we proud to say He was Indian.....he is like a God because he was slove the maneater Tigers And Leopards...🐯

I read Captain Corbett's books. I have been lucky enough to visit Jim Corbett National park in Uttarakhand jungles. I have always been fascinated with man-eaters since I read a story in my childhood and I after reading his books I have developed huge respect for Captain Corbett for his understanding and love for the wild life. This movie is so amazing because it captures things very vividly and I can now imagine how it must have been like in the colonial era in India. We still find man eaters in India and it immediately becomes a news, I wonder how scary it must have been 1900s in the absence of roads, news media etc.

I have all of his books, and I have read them over, and over again ! He died in 1955, peace on he´s memory !!!!

This is Nostalgia; so was finding the hardcover books in a charity shop few weeks ago in Bristol, U.K. Sent me back to 1970's when I 'devoured' Corbett's books !

Jim Corbett was a legendary hunter. For those who love his books, I recommend “Hunter” by J.A. Hunter. It is the autobiography of an equally legendary hunter in East Africa at the turn of the century and is a classic in the genre. You will thank me for suggesting it!

Thanks for uploading this movie. Wonderful film of Jim Corbett. Admirer since school days when its translated version published in local digest here in Pakistan. With time I read some books in British Council Lahore. During stay in Jeddah I arranged publication from an Indian collegue. Still having all books. Myself a shooter of wild boar and his killing man eaters by foot was too risky during that time when technology was not so advance.

I have the pleasure of owning a first Edition Maneater of Kumoan. It's one of my most treasured hunting books in my collection.

This series is criminally underrated and forgotten by many.

Just brilliant.. i have watched it for years and still cant stop myself from watching it again. I remember watching it 10-15 years back somewhere for the first time. it was my childhood fantasy. Im 28 now

2023 now, this man is the real man i can imagine after i heard his story. Humble, kind and understanding yet a man who has fear but still carried on his duty. He truely is a hero and an example. Not that we must hunt like him, but the way he sees life and encounter, is truely exemplary.

corbett, a real hunter-naturalist conservationist hero, rare today

Read also "The Temple Tiger and more Kumaon man eaters"and "The man-eating leopard of Rudraprayag" ,both riveting reading!

My late uncle was SDM,Ranikhet in the early 1960s.He told me that he sometimes come across entries made by Jim Corbett in the registers of old govt rest houses.

I found this book in my junior high school library in 1976 I was the ONLY person who checked this great book out ,never forgot it and still reread it ,it took a young Maryland school boy on a fantastic journey tiger hunting the Himalayas

Nicely displayed the life and shades of Great Jim Corbett, Jim always gives me goosebumps and so much adventure. You always be remembered

thanks for uploading a gem of a movie!!!

Master piece 😍

Jim Corbett ,the ultimate Hunter and a nerve thrilling experience sharer , just love to read his books reading again and again , feeling sorry for the vanishing Tigers and Leapords along with the gone reading habits of people's.

Jim Corbett was God gifted..I read many of his novels and stories..he use call animals by there voices and then go for hunt it was a god gift

Just Amazing, thanks for uploading.

I've read all the books by the African safari guys like, Bell, Taylor and Capstick but somehow I've missed this stuff by Corbett, just ordered his complete collection tho and I'm looking forward to it

I enjoyed watching this lovely tribute to a great man. Thank you for posting!

I remember reading about Jim Corbett as a boy and now that I am 70 I am still in awe of this man. The maneating leopards were the scariest to me. Leopards have been preying upon humans for millennium. They rule the night in the jungle.

This is Mrs Essex husband when I started secondary school I was given man eaters of the kumaon I struggled with it at the time but since then I’ve read it so many times it is my desert island disc book the best thing I’ve ever read and when I read it I am Jim Corbett

I salute this wonderful Indian conservationist...Jim Corbett...or Carpet sahab as he was fondly called

Excellent, loved it! I also read all of Jim Corbett's books. Highly recommended.

It was very good movie. I liked Frederick Treves as Great Jim Corbett very much. He telling the story (along with his sister), esp. when he goes to bed in the end, was really impactful. Other actors too played there roles well. I'll certainly keep coming back to this movie again and again.

Jim Corbett , a brilliant writer , hunter and a naturalist .

We read his books when I was 11 in junior school . Even at that age I thought one hell of a man who didn't behave like it Real hero's are not the loud mouths they are quiet and manly and after 4 years in the army I've met some ,R I P Jim. You are a real hero to the Indian people

Kumaun is heaven in Himalayas the Dev bhoomi which means god's land. My village is here in munsiyar pithoragarh.

how is he so brave to be in the jungle by himself all alone waiting for the 🐅 in the night?? it took shiver s out of me!! such a brave man

my entire childhood , born and living in India and love For this majestic animal was So much influenced by this gentleman Jim Corbett , my father used to read me the maneaters of Kumaon and Man eating leopard of rudraprayag . From here y love for this amazing Big cats Flourished, and Jim is Absolutely right Without Tiger, India Will Become a Poorer Country as it is our National Animal But people forget it.

RESPECT for the greatest hunter of that time......JIM CORBETT ......!! It is not an easy task to face Man-Eater ...... alone in a jungle.... at night.

what a wonderful film! thanks for uploading this , definitely to be treasured and for the keeps!

My father used to tell me all the stories of Jim Corbett and his man eaters .. I remember everyone of them ..

Corbett had the patience and skills of a sniper. I’ve hunted a long time (but never a tiger), and I don’t have the patience and knowledge this man had.

Despite the fact that I had completed all the books of Jim Corbett,this documentary really takes me to places and people Jim loved and dedicated his life for.

Thanks for uploading a documentary on Master Hunter Sir Jim Corbett

Love u jim from india❤️❤️ im your fan from childhood... I wish if u could live here... Lots of love❤️❤️❤️

Jim Corbett was a kind & humble person, he was known as 'carpet saahib' among the natives, had been respected as a hermit. when this movie was being shot the rumor of Corbett returning to chhoti-haldwani (a.k.a corbetts's village) had masses of people streaming from nearby areas & considered the actor the real jim Corbett. that's how much respect people have for him.

This makes me feel proud to be Indian.

My grandfather used to tell me about Jim Corbett and his legends. What a man.he was.

I don't understand why any Hollywood directer make biography of his life 🙄🙄🙄🙄really this is my wish to watch movie on him

The only person alive today to have seen Jim Corbett is the current queen of England as Corbett himself mentioned "He helped her to perch on a machan for a night hunt as a princess & next day morning she descended as the queen of England". This incident happened in Kenya during his final years.

As I write this I am due to fly to Africa in one week to go on safari; my first! (although, I'm going with a camera, not a gun). I have read many of Jim Corbett's books and they are inspirational. Rest in peace.

❣️❣️The Legends Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson...I love them and there writings too much.they always in my heart.For the 1st time when I was read a man eater hunting book I was fall in love with tiger hunting🤗

Jim Corbett's life can be related to our father of the nation, Gandhi. Both fought for the rights of lives, whether in jungle or land. Corbett saab is Great human being to be proud of by every indian. Good movie and thanks to the crew for the wonderful script.

Wow! This movie is fantastic! Since finding out about man eaters and the white hunters I've been fascinated about the stories of the conflict between man and beast. Since watching the ghost of the darkness made me more interested and although it a movie it's still based on the true story of the man eaters of Tsavo and John Patterson. I never knew that there was a movie made about the man eaters of Kumaon and Jim Corbett which I thought one should be made so was delighted to find one. I think there should be a new movie made about the hunters and the man eaters to show the conflict between man and beast and the the animals are driven to become that and man that hunts them are more conservationists than they are hunters who love and respect the animals...

I find very few people who could be an idol. JC is that idol for me. I get to appreciate and discover him more than a hunter, but as a humanitarian through his book My India. That book is not just a memoir but a great jem of world literature.

thank you i have been looking for this
