Synopsis for Junglee DVD
Shammi Kapoor (Shekar), Saira Banu (Rajkumari), Helen (Dancer), Anoop Kumar, Lalita Pawar (Shekar's mum), Shashikala (Mala).
Shekar, a humorless, driven business executive who rides his employees mercilessly. He's no less approachable at home where he continues to
uphold "the family tradition of not laughing," a legacy passed down from his dictatorial grandparents. His sister Mala (Shashikala) is the complete
opposite - passionate and loving - but she's hiding a terrible secret from her family; she's pregnant. How the filmmakers get around this seemingly
taboo subplot (which is resolved in the most innocuous manner in the final reel) gives Junglee an unexpected tension that contrasts nicely against
the movie's exuberant musical numbers. But it's Shekhar's transformation from a stern, officious businessman to a fun-loving exhibitionist - the result
of his love for Rajkumari (Saira Banu), a beautiful doctor's assistant - that makes Junglee required viewing for fans of Bollywood cinema.
