Kim is a 1984 British television film directed by John Davies and based on Rudyard Kipling's 1901 novel Kim. The film stars Peter O'Toole, Bryan Brown, John Rhys-Davies, Nadira, Julian Glover, Jalal Agha and Ravi Sheth in the title role.

Production

Ravi Sheth, 15, was a Bombay resident whose father is Indian and mother is American. He moved to India at the age of 2 after being born in Milwaukee and his only previous acting experience was as Prince Charming, in a Grade 7 production of Rapunzel). "He has been an utter delight," Peter O'Toole said, "an absolute joy to work with."

The story is set in several locations filmed in India, as the Northern frontier, Lahore barracks, Bunar, Umbella barracks, Delhi, Shaharampoor and Indian mountains near the Himalayas for the final scenes of the fighting against Russian spies. There was studio filming in London.

The screenplay was essentially close to Kipling's original; much more so than the 1950 movie with Errol Flynn, except for an added subplot about the love of a deserting Scottish soldier with an Indian girl. The ending is also slightly different from the original novel, and some anachronistic snipes at the British Raj were inserted. The casting was also subject to controversy, with white actors playing local characters.
