The rich bachelor Shekhar (S.Kapoor) returns from abroad and refuses to laugh until he meets Kashmiri belle Rajkumari (Banu) who eventually changes his view of the world. The film can be seen as hearlding the colour films that came to be the mainstay of the popular cinema (of Manmohan Desais work) after the 50s Filmistan gere products. Previously, colour had been reserved for big spectacles only. After Junglee, intimate family romances also had to be in colour. The movie is still regarded as a cult item because of Shammi Kapoors youthful and rebellious performance. *.* Shekhar whose only motto in life has been to acquire wealth and more wealth, is a snobbish, prosperous and suessful businessman. The cripsness of the currency notes enhanted him much more than the charm of girls and the Nature.

On thier way to the mountain they are caught in snow-storm. Shekhar is much impressed by the innocence of RAAJKUMARI and is transformed. He is no more the high brow SHEKHAR. .
