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
Thanks for the more accurate insight into his personality. This film shows the true beauty of tigers, not glorified or mainstreamed like in nature channels. I would love to visit Kumaon one day.
What people of chhoti haldwani who met him in real say something different. They say he was very strict and angry man and often get angry on villagers . However he was a charitable man .
This film is absolute rubbish. Jim was a superb human being and a great hunter. He built a village for the people of his area. Inspite of the many hundreds of Englishmen that lived and served in the Government of British India, a most beautiful national park was named after him. This man was a living legend and “- man ahead of his time - and a man for all time”!
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.
I found the books on my own due to the movie that was out in the late 40's.Likewise I am in my 70's and still read them.This movie I first saw many years ago and I still enjoy watching it.
Jim Corbett's love to place & people he lived with appears to be as pure as (a) MacMurdoo of Kutch (b) col. Jacob of Jacobabad Pakistan & (c) col. Todd of Rajasthan-true Indophiles. Have inhaled the fragrance of "karpet sahib" on serpentine ramganga river National park. I don't understand why he chose to spent final few years at Kenya.
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.
I too have been waiting for years . I first read " Maneaters of Kumaon 40 years ago and had hoped a proper movie would of been produced by now ,, One that follows Mr. Corbetts account of the hunts as they were written in his own hand ,,, not some Hollywood farce that is usually so far off that it is quite pathetic .. I dont understand why they think their fiction is better than his factual personal experience .. There are really 5 movies to be made ,, one for each best seller he produced . Jim Corbett wouldnt even recognize the forests or jungles he once hunted in .. The worlds wild places of yesteryear are gone forever ,, many good places left are but shells of long ago and I fear the Jim Corbetts are gone too ,,, never again will we have another like him ....RIP Capt. Jim Corbett ,,, Its Gods blessing to you to not have seen what has happened to your beloved forests and foothills of Nepal ..
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 !
@@loveislove9211 still, they are dangerous animals. I always feel ashamed when here in Europe people whine and complain so much about some wolfes coming back in the regions.
We have two wolfpacks around here,close to my home town. I don't tell you where because people here wil react absolutely hysteric . They live here since SEVEN years and nobody knows exept the wolf - monitoring people. Stray dogs and cats disappear without a trace, thats all. Sometimes you see, far away , a big "dog" without an owner. I saw one crossing a river and it made me happy. WE took away THEIR home, we killed them , WE occupy more and more space. WE are the most useless species on this planet. Not the predators.
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 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.
You shouldn't be impressed with killers. He's a 'weakling' that challenges animals with the bias of a firearm. Says "King Wimp" all oved it. And that crawling fawning, pathetic flattering bitch by his side is as bad! He says, "at least I can see it's (killing) done properly". Pathetic! Then the nerve to say prayers. God our Maker would simply be disgusted at this crude trivial opportunism & lazy self-indulgence. That's not Bible bashing. It's simple truth & there to be heeded in the name of respect for our fellow-species, animals. Live as we live.
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 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."
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Martin Stiastny You are the typical Godless indian who worships the white poacher. I'm white and been to India. Everyone wanted to serve and please me at all times. No one would let me be me and serve myself. I was so sick of everyone throwing themselves at me, I call it worshipping. The women see a white man as godly and status symbol. Countless people waited to great me at my door when I woke up. People kissed ass at all times. It's pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself.
@@AncientPharaoh You are right. But this story has a long tale starting with the Aryan invasion of the subcontinent about 5,000 years ago. The Aryans quickly became the ruling class and introduced many things to the natives. including the Indo-Aryan languages. Ever since, a lighter skin automatically suggests a member of the ruling class. This is not their fault; it is inherently a part of their ancient culture. In fact, cast in Hindu means "color."
@- king- King ? More like Court Jester. Another keyboard commado who knows nothing. Ok, lets see if you can follow directions. On TH-cam, look up "Under Wild Skies - Jim Corbett Rifle Returns". It is a little over 22 minutes. I hope that you can stay focused for that long. Oh my gosh . . . you might learn something !!!!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
@@docsmithdc - I am not sure if im correct , but I read somewhere that it was partly due to Indias independence and that he knew he was too old to hunt anymore { at least like he once did } and his health was failing and went to Kenya { as this movie stated } to be with family as well as launch into his passion of photography . His home in Kenya was in the resort "Tree Tops " that is built in a giant Tree .. This place is also where he died .. His last book is called " In the Treetops or something like that ,,, I know Treetops is in the title ... I hope you find a copy ,, it has great stuff in it ,, especially one about Princess Elizabeth just before her Father the King of England died ,,, She was at Treetops when he passed and Corbett has a line in the book where he said , She climbed into the Tree a Princess and climbed down the Queen .. Of course he said it much better than I just did , hahaha .. God Bless You and your own Doc
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.
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.
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.
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.
When I read the books of Jim Corbett I could really feel the terror of the poor village people deep in my guts - it must have been so horrible for them to be constantly in danger of being killed by the tigers. Sometimes several members of a familiy were killed by the same tiger. I totally admire the heroism of Jim Corbett who spent so much time of his life just trying to help risking his own health and life.
I remember reading the book as a ten year old. I don't think I have ever been transported as you say, by any other book, and I have read hundreds. Even after visiting the park last year, the book still has a lingering effect some half a century later.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 real hero - trying to free poor village people from man eating tigers while suffering from malaria and once also from a horrible ear infection, partly he wasn´t even paid for his service. His books are a great read and he was such a humble man.
@Bhupesh Yadav I read his books where he describes the hunt for the man eaters and there he mentions that as it took him so long to hunt the animals down he had to do it on unpaid leave.
@@truthseeker6584 the animal gas to eat,people take the tigers food..the tiger eats them...balance of nature...not an excuse to kill a beutiful and RARE TIGER!!!
The one thing that struck me was that he was never afraid to admit that he felt scared while hunting the man eaters nor did he condemn or belittle those who fled from the man eaters either.
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.
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
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.
I read Maneaters of Kumaon way back in1967 when I was12 yrs. old. I read it over and over, it felt as if I were sitting in the tree or on the platform with Jim, I could see the native woman still alive in the tigers mouth and out of rifle range. I felt the sickening disappointment when I finally caught up with what was left of the killers meal. I studied the photos in the old book of the pictures of the slain killers and can still see them in my minds eye. I am 62 yrs. old now and can still reignite the emotions and events that have stayed with me all these yrs. A wonderful book by a wonderful man.
I've read nearly his book about maneaters and I can honestly say they was better than any book or film I've seen they really made me get the chills and was hooked
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@rajveersingh14223 you are right it was during stalking Thak maneater tiger. In the middle of the night he was sitting in the tree, when he heard blood curdling screams from the deserted village. Jim's first reaction was to jump off the tree and run towards the village to save another victim from the tiger.....but then common sense prevailed and he remembered that the village was deserted. Truly scary.
@@rajveersingh14223 How did you discover that? Yes youre right. The incident was written by a British man, who accompanied Corbett on a hunt. But Corbett himself refused to talk about it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
❣️❣️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🤗
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.
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...
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.
A MUST watch if you are a Jim Corbett fan! It does follow the book very closely, with a huge bonus of 3 films actually taken by Jim Corbett himself. I have seen the one of him fishing by a stream, but 2 are of the hunting on elephants, which I have not seen before. A real treat for myself! He was a Conservationist long before it was even thought about.
Loved the movie. Corbett is my childhood hero, I would love to enjoy some more movie on him. With today's technology it could be a fantastic thing. Hope someone comes up with it. Just a few days back finished reading his Omnibus.
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.
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.
Read a series of book by Jim.This film illustrates excerpts from "My India" and Man Eaters of Kumaon.Man eaters of Rudrapyayag is another fine work.His books present lively experience.You feel like you are along with Jim in hunting man eaters.
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.
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.
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.

Thanks for the more accurate insight into his personality. This film shows the true beauty of tigers, not glorified or mainstreamed like in nature channels. I would love to visit Kumaon one day.
Very well put. Mr Corbett was a great man doing all he did for free. He helped so many people who he did not know or meet .
What people of chhoti haldwani who met him in real say something different. They say he was very strict and angry man and often get angry on villagers .
However he was a charitable man .

may be you should revisit the places where you spent your childhood.
Can I be join you? I am still a youngster, only 67, but a fervent Corbett admirer since my childhood.
Jim Corbett's love to place & people he lived with appears to be as pure as (a) MacMurdoo of Kutch (b) col. Jacob of Jacobabad Pakistan & (c) col. Todd of Rajasthan-true Indophiles. Have inhaled the fragrance of "karpet sahib" on serpentine ramganga river National park. I don't understand why he chose to spent final few years at Kenya.
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.
He was a colonizer a murderer probably violated dozens of native ( mostly kids). He shouldn't be respected

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."
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.
Sorry for your loss
I've always been interested with those old hunters like Jim Corbett, James Patterson, and WDM Bell.
Patten, related to general patten?, dude you are historical figure.
So sorry for your loss Man... eventually all the good stuff will come back and the sadness will fade. Peace.

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.
Corbett is an Irish name
@@albearob Yes. Kumaon also has a huge school founded by Irish Christian brothers. School is the one shown in 14:15
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.
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.
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
rohit r true
Mainstream movie......definitely a great idea
Well said Rohit ! I totally agree with you.
Jim Corbett will never be forgotten because he also became the world heavyweight boxing champ.
@@AncientPharaoh news flash most of the animals he killed were man-eaters who had it coming
I am 25 now. I was 13 when I found his books for the first time. Still i can feel the adrenaline rush.
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.
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.

You are the typical Godless indian who worships the white poacher. I'm white and been to India. Everyone wanted to serve and please me at all times. No one would let me be me and serve myself. I was so sick of everyone throwing themselves at me, I call it worshipping. The women see a white man as godly and status symbol. Countless people waited to great me at my door when I woke up. People kissed ass at all times. It's pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself.
@@AncientPharaoh You are right. But this story has a long tale starting with the Aryan invasion of the subcontinent about 5,000 years ago. The Aryans quickly became the ruling class and introduced many things to the natives. including the Indo-Aryan languages. Ever since, a lighter skin automatically suggests a member of the ruling class. This is not their fault; it is inherently a part of their ancient culture. In fact, cast in Hindu means "color."
@- king- You have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about
@- king-
You enjoy being worshiped in india or what fool. Down with the old lady and your mock so called “kingdom”. You better recognize dude.
@- king- King ? More like Court Jester. Another keyboard commado who knows nothing.
Ok, lets see if you can follow directions.
On TH-cam, look up "Under Wild Skies - Jim Corbett Rifle Returns". It is a little over 22 minutes. I hope that you can stay focused for that long.
Oh my gosh . . . you might learn something !!!!
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.
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.
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.
Jim corbett also encounters a women's ghost while hunting a tiger in the forest
Exactly! I'm so glad you're a fan. You know things most don't!!!
Hi sir Wer we get the books
@@rajveersingh14223 IN WHICH BOOK AND WHERE HAD HE MENTIONED IT.
True. Corbett spoke Hindi and Kumaoni fluently
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.
It's a rare privilege for me to see the story that still is ever enthralling as it was at my school days...
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 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.
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.
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.
Well said.
I could never understand why after all he had contributed to India he had to leave and spend the remainder of his days in Africa.
The only Englishman who truly loved india
@@docsmithdc - I am not sure if im correct , but I read somewhere that it was partly due to Indias independence and that he knew he was too old to hunt anymore { at least like he once did } and his health was failing and went to Kenya { as this movie stated } to be with family as well as launch into his passion of photography . His home in Kenya was in the resort "Tree Tops " that is built in a giant Tree .. This place is also where he died .. His last book is called " In the Treetops or something like that ,,, I know Treetops is in the title ... I hope you find a copy ,, it has great stuff in it ,, especially one about Princess Elizabeth just before her Father the King of England died ,,, She was at Treetops when he passed and Corbett has a line in the book where he said , She climbed into the Tree a Princess and climbed down the Queen .. Of course he said it much better than I just did , hahaha .. God Bless You and your own Doc
@@jeffwarren6906 Thank you for your kind and informative reply.I will try to find that book as I have read almost all of his other books.God bless.
I was born in India. I remember them taking me to watch the movie when i was only 5. I’m 53 now.
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.
Nice relationships ❤️
The beauty of indian jungles is beyond description. Corbett and kenneth anderson are their bard
Rudyard Kipling deserves more than a honorary mention.
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.
You are lucky Robert !
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 read"Man Eaters of Kumaon",when I was a sophomore in highschool. I never knew there was a movie about him.
I too read it about 15 years ago in school in 5/6 standard. It was so interesting that it is still interesting to me.
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.
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.
When I read the books of Jim Corbett I could really feel the terror of the poor village people deep in my guts - it must have been so horrible for them to be constantly in danger of being killed by the tigers. Sometimes several members of a familiy were killed by the same tiger. I totally admire the heroism of Jim Corbett who spent so much time of his life just trying to help risking his own health and life.
I remember reading the book as a ten year old. I don't think I have ever been transported as you say, by any other book, and I have read hundreds. Even after visiting the park last year, the book still has a lingering effect some half a century later.
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.
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.
Indeed you did a great deed....bless you....
I have the pleasure of owning a first Edition Maneater of Kumoan.
It's one of my most treasured hunting books in my collection.
Enjoyed it thoroughly. One of the best book I ever read. I have read it many times and still enjoy it.
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.
Nicholas Morrill . Leave God's creatures alone! To live.
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.
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.
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.
Well said,Sir!
That's right :)
What you said is the absolute truth.
Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson books make me afraid, even though I stay on the 12 th floor in a concrete jungle
Very true. Difficult capture the narrative in the book.
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 !
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,
Jim corbett also encounters a women's ghost chudail while hunting a tiger in the forest
Jim Corbett was a real hero - trying to free poor village people from man eating tigers while suffering from malaria and once also from a horrible ear infection, partly he wasn´t even paid for his service. His books are a great read and he was such a humble man.
@Bhupesh Yadav I read his books where he describes the hunt for the man eaters and there he mentions that as it took him so long to hunt the animals down he had to do it on unpaid leave.
@@truthseeker6584 the animal gas to eat,people take the tigers food..the tiger eats them...balance of nature...not an excuse to kill a beutiful and RARE TIGER!!!
The one thing that struck me was that he was never afraid to admit that he felt scared while hunting the man eaters nor did he condemn or belittle those who fled from the man eaters either.
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.
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 !!!

corbett, a real hunter-naturalist conservationist hero, rare today
It's not rare, his kind is extinct. Great man he was.
@Income Tax Inspector Closely , yes. Rare is tough to find, extinct is sure no to be found at all.
@Live Jewelry you are mixing up Corbett with the Lions of Tsavo.
@Wal Leece conservationists killed everything? Please explain
Jim was less a hunter and more a naturalist he only really hunted the big cats when they became a serious threat to life of people
Nicely displayed the life and shades of Great Jim Corbett, Jim always gives me goosebumps and so much adventure.
You always be remembered
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
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.
I read Maneaters of Kumaon way back in1967 when I was12 yrs. old. I read it over and over, it felt as if I were sitting in the tree or on the platform with Jim, I could see the native woman still alive in the tigers mouth and out of rifle range. I felt the sickening disappointment when I finally caught up with what was left of the killers meal. I studied the photos in the old book of the pictures of the slain killers and can still see them in my minds eye. I am 62 yrs. old now and can still reignite the emotions and events that have stayed with me all these yrs. A wonderful book by a wonderful man.
I've read nearly his book about maneaters and I can honestly say they was better than any book or film I've seen they really made me get the chills and was hooked
I have all his books in English and Sinhalese both
Terry Foster
TH-cam has The Men-eaters of Tsavo audiobook which is a thriller in itself.
"Nobody reads anymore"
I have read over 500 books and written more than a dozen people always consumed other forms of entertainment.
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.
Terry Carter hi Terry mate how are you
I am 13 and I just found his books and fell in love with them.
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.
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!
Yes, Hunter by J.A. Hunter is classic
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
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.
Must have been quite exciting and fascinating for you!
Read also "The Temple Tiger and more Kumaon man eaters"and "The man-eating leopard of Rudraprayag" ,both riveting reading!

@@rajveersingh14223 stop
@@emmanueljameson6148 why stop u fucker
@@rajveersingh14223 you are right it was during stalking Thak maneater tiger. In the middle of the night he was sitting in the tree, when he heard blood curdling screams from the deserted village. Jim's first reaction was to jump off the tree and run towards the village to save another victim from the tiger.....but then common sense prevailed and he remembered that the village was deserted. Truly scary.
@@rajveersingh14223 How did you discover that? Yes youre right. The incident was written by a British man, who accompanied Corbett on a hunt. But Corbett himself refused to talk about it.
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.
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.
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.
This series is criminally underrated and forgotten by many.
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.
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.
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 have all of his books, and I have read them over, and over again ! He died in 1955, peace on he´s memory !!!!
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.
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
how is he so brave to be in the jungle by himself all alone waiting for the 🐅 in the night??

thanks for uploading a gem of a movie!!!
Love u jim from india❤️❤️ im your fan from childhood... I wish if u could live here... Lots of love❤️❤️❤️
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...
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.
A MUST watch if you are a Jim Corbett fan! It does follow the book very closely, with a huge bonus of 3 films actually taken by Jim Corbett himself. I have seen the one of him fishing by a stream, but 2 are of the hunting on elephants, which I have not seen before. A real treat for myself! He was a Conservationist long before it was even thought about.
Loved the movie. Corbett is my childhood hero, I would love to enjoy some more movie on him. With today's technology it could be a fantastic thing. Hope someone comes up with it.
Just a few days back finished reading his Omnibus.
Can watch this movie may be 1000 times & still not get bored. Perfect picturisation of the legend. Just love 'carpet Sahib'. God bless him, amen👍👍👍👍
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.
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.
Master piece 😍
Thanks for uploading a documentary on Master Hunter Sir Jim Corbett
I enjoyed watching this lovely tribute to a great man. Thank you for posting!
what a wonderful film! thanks for uploading this , definitely to be treasured and for the keeps!
You are right
Goosebumps... What a delightful programme
the book is wonderfull, have read it 5 times over the years, one of my most favorites
Read a series of book by Jim.This film illustrates excerpts from "My India" and Man Eaters of Kumaon.Man eaters of Rudrapyayag is another fine work.His books present lively experience.You feel like you are along with Jim in hunting man eaters.
thank you i have been looking for this
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.
Please..why did Corbett have to leave India?
Excellent thanks for showing.
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.
I salute this wonderful Indian conservationist...Jim Corbett...or Carpet sahab as he was fondly called
My grandfather used to tell me about Jim Corbett and his legends. What a man.he was.
I read this book sometime ago.. I didn't know it was made into a movie.... Awesome!
