Let me try to get this right – four menacing goons turn up at a local hospital's emergency ward where they threaten a sick old cronk who looks like he is more dead than not. Apparently the goon’s boss isn’t too thrilled at the shrivelled up old man for grassing on his nefarious underworld drug smuggling operation and thus has sent the aforementioned goons to teach the fogy a lesson he will never forget.

The resident nurse squeals in horror as the goons attack the patient, suddenly just in the nick of time, a heroic doctor springs to the rescue, thrashing the goons to a pulp and sending them scurrying for cover. However the old patient loses his struggle for life, barely managing to tell the doctor who his tormentors were and where they could be discovered. Meanwhile we are shown that a burly, fat boss is indeed a madman to be reckoned with, especially as he is in possession of a psychotic killer python who strikes a deathly blow at his masters slightest whim, head butting its victims into ghastly death spasms...spurting and foaming blood as they die twitching like fish out of water! Once boss sets loose his ravenous, bloodthirsty pet python to take care of business, he often likes to unwind watching some saucy babes performing a “private mujra” or two.

Boss yearns for revenge from the doctor who dared to interfere with his henchmen especially as it was the very same quack that botched his son’s injection sending the child to an early grave. Now Boss demands death for the doctor or then to his chubby, cherubic 7-year-old son. The Boss’s goons abduct the chubby son Faisal but he escapes from the speeding car ending up in deep in the wildest of forests. There he miraculously survives by bonding with the local wildlife with the sole exception of the bear community (especially the kind that looks suspiciously like men in bear suits) who somehow remain disdainful and downright antagonistic. In a touching bonding scene with the local cobra, the lad seeing that the snake is feeling under the weather takes to viciously stabbing his own wrist with a jagged stick until blood begins to gush from the wounds. Then he offers his blood to the ailing cobra who duly slurps it up feeling utterly rejuvenated thereafter as well as mighty grateful.

Time passes and a few years later the chubby lad grows into something resembling a cross-dressing jungle bunny – decidedly camp and redefining the term “Sexy Beast”. Never has a Tarzan-like jungle hunk exuded such electric, raw sex appeal especially to those who prefer their hermaphrodites dressed in jungle kit. New sensation Jehanzeb makes a spectacularly handsome local version of Tarzan, or Annu as the case may be this time around. Not only does Annu possess god-like beauty but he has also been gifted with superhuman strength due to his rigorous existence in the jungle!

One day a beautiful young lass Kavita is having one of those nightmare days when nothing seems to go right – Murphy’s Law or something.Firstly, on a picnic with her brain-dead parents she is assailed by a group of goons and is forced to flee into the nearby jungle. Once in the realm of the jungle she discovers a pitchfork like branch. Feeling inspired, she turns the tables on her assailants thrashing them witless and impaling them with her stump, but this only after witnessing the goons kill her parents right in front of her very eyes. However, just when it seems her luck has finally changed, she is set upon by four men in bear suits who begin to menace her with some very strange sounds and movements. Fortunately, she is saved from becoming a chunk of meat in the hands of four very dodgy looking bears by Annu’s timely intervention. Later the sobbing and freshly orphaned Kavita is consoled and adopted by Tarzan's (sorry Annu’s) dimwit jungle sidekick - a prospect she mysteriously seems to relish.

Within five minutes Annu’s rugged handsomeness and animal magnetism have Kavita utterly smitten and she is ready to play Jane for the man of her dreams forever more. However complications arise when a bewitching jungle beauty (Shahida Mini) takes a fancy to Annu and is incensed when he doesn’t reciprocate her warmth – she being tribal queen doesn’t help matters and poor Annu is locked up in a filthy, dark dungeon somewhere. However, in this crisis, Annu’s deep association with his wild friends comes in handy and soon he summons his many friends to help him break free. In a electrifying finale, Boss’s lone if extremely ferocious Python is confronted by hundreds of mostly fake cobras who proceed to teach the python who top dog really is! The cobras shoot across the screen in alarming fashion and hurtle through the air in the most hideous manner – there is no denying their supremacy.

Moments later, the villains confounded, Annu’s path crosses that of his father twenty years after they were separated on that ill-fated day. Both of them feel strange pangs on longing for each other despite being overtly strangers to one another yet a voice within the doctors head seems to be sure that this Annu must be his long lost son. In a thrilling climax scene all is revealed and all is set right the way it should be. The film is a delightful hoot from beginning to end and sets new standards for Jungle films worldwide.

Jehanzeb is a walking sex-bomb in the role of the jungle hunk and is simply irresistible for either sex. Strange that he should have never acted in another film in the lead part ever again. One can only assume that his price sky-rocketed (understandably) and no one in Lollywood could afford him for their productions. No doubt he went on to bigger and better things though it is doubtful that he could ever have starred in a more insane film as this fantastic Tarzan in drag movie. This was one of Kavita’s final films before she fled the scene to apparently join some Palestinian Liberation group ending up selling household furnishings and stuff at Bloomingdale’s in New York City! Apparently this film helped her face some home truths, like the fact that her career had reached rock bottom with nowhere else to go.

The film is a delightful shamble and is marked by the shoddy production that is the trademark of Lollywood films. The acting is dreadful and the script written by a total nutter or then an inspired genius depending on your point of view. Jangli Mera Nam will always stay in the memory for providing possibly the worlds most idiotic and camp looking Tarzan of all time. Not to be missed by admirers of world Tarzan films – all three of you that exist in the entire universe??!
