This is the film that introduced me to Shammi Kapoor; I must have been five or six at the time. It was the beginning of a long relationship. Junglee is also the Shammi Kapoor film that I have revisited the most. On the face of it, it is a simple story, like most of Shammi Kapoor's movies - it is the story of a stern, unbending, almost-unlikeable man who finds himself transformed by love. What made this oft-told tale rivetting was the performance of the leads (and the supporting characters), the wonderful songs that moved the story along, and the deft direction. More about that later.
