Shaka bhoomi tabela

Watching this really bad 80s Hindi Tarzan movie (Adventures of Tarzan) with THE WORST songs! They’re so bad, they’re mesmerizing. I can’t help but watch. My eyes! My ears! Oh, the horror!

Dad has managed to sleep through an entire rescue scene where Kimi Katkar is clinging onto a rock in these rapids that will wash her off giant waterfall-types. Love the old Hindi movie editing. You see the actress (who, btw, is named Ruby) screaming her head off wearing something skimpy (and obs. wet). You see a shot of the waterfall in all its white-water rapidness. You see actor leaping from tree to tree rushing to the rescue. Back to waterfall. Cut to screaming actress. Then, suddenly, the screaming has stopped and woman is in Tarzan’s arms on a rock safely above the river. Cue sappy violin music and it’s love at first manhandle.

Of course, they’re trekking through the forests and she’s wearing a wispy white dress barefoot and dipping about in ponds and things. You would think that near-death experience with rapids would turn this chick off water.

Ruby’s been bitten by a snake (serves you right, you stupid gnat). You know wot that means. Yep, Tarzan is going to suck the poison out.

Oh wait, just figured out why her dress is so wispy. It’s so that it won’t balloon up when she’s wading through alligator-infested waters. Natch.

I tell you, you haven’t lived if you haven’t seen bad old Hindi movies.

You mean to tell me that you voluntarily watch these movies? Tch.

No, but you listen to songs of Tarzaan. Equally disgusting.

lol
didn't she wear a leopard printed wispy dress? Or was that Sheeba. Either which way tarzan movies always have them with animal print, big hair and bright red lipstick. Maybe we're going the wrong way with sweet summer dresses these days.
