Oxford University Press</ref> The narrator of the film is [[Jim Corbett]] (portrayed by [[Christopher Heyerdahl]])<br />
<br />
Corbett is asked to kill a man-eating tiger, which has killed a young woman in [[Kumaon division|Kumaon]]. Corbett arrives at Kumaon and meets with local people. The sister of the victim (portrayed by Mishra Smriti) takes Corbett to the killing site. They together ambush the man-eater and Corbett kills the tiger from the [[:wikt:machan|machan]]. During this plot, the narration (by Corbett) contains stories of the history of India and the Kumaon region, as well as the efforts to save Indian tigers.<br />

<br />
==Filming==<br />
The filming took place in [[Canada]] and in [[India]], using IMAX technology.<br />
<br />
==Soundtrack==<br />
The film score for ''India: Kingdom of the Tiger'' was composed and produced by respected ambient guitarist and world musician [[Michael Brook]]. The score was recorded at the Lavenderia and [[Real World Studios]]. [[Rahat Fateh Ali Khan]] and [[Lakshmi Shankar]] contributed vocals to the project.<br />
<br />
The soundtrack album was released by [[Four Winds Trading Company]] in 2002. Bruce Neibar, the film director, wrote the following lines in the soundtrack album: "From almost my first day of work on ''India--Kingdom of the Tiger'' I was worried about the music...being heavy-handed.... Michael Brook has created a score that has washed away all my worries and concerns. He has masterfully painted in the rich, magical shades of India that are so important to the story. His music, from its very first notes, transports us into that faraway land. When the film is finished, I believe audiences will be wishing they could stay there longer."<br />
