This has two interesting concepts neither really developed - Tarzan a stranger in a strange land, in this case India, and Tazan is played by someone over 40, in this case Jock Mahoney.
He's helping delay a dam which is a slightly lumpy story. In Africa Tarzan always had a personal stake. That's not the case here.
It looks beautiful, was shot on location, John Guillermin directs well. There's a cute Sabu-esque Indian kid, and some sympathetic Indian grown ups but the main villains are white as well as Tarzan and most of the Indians are extras. There's no love interest which is a shame.
The action is well done and Mahoney looks like a Tarzan.
