A potentially interesting, Somerset Maugham-esque father/son conflict, complete with intriguing elements like the remote, great white hunter dad dressing for dinner with his vaguely racist, beautiful Indian housemaid/mistrerss in attendance, is curtailed about twenty minutes in and in its place is inserted your standard, Disney-esque boys adventure yarn involving elephants and casually racist, cartoonishly evil Indian villains. It all points toward a resolution of the conflict that you can see coming about fifteen minutes in or when the vaguely racist, wise Indian manservant of the great white hunter accuses him of cowardice (and is slapped for it). As for the acting, it's fairly bad with Jay North still speaking in sing song Dennis The Menace cadences and Clint Walker channeling Cheyenne with a safari jacket. The Indian actors fare better with Sajid Khan nicely underplaying it as North's kid companion and I. S. Johar doing a good subcontinental Alfonso Bedoya. And the location shooting is stunning. Let's give it a generous C plus because I'm a fan of director John Berry, whose career was cut short by ol man blacklist, and scenarist John Fante, one of the better literary interpreters of my home town.
