What happens

Shikari (transl. Hunter) is a 1963 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Mohammed Hussain. It stars Ajit, Ragini, Helen, Madan Puri, K. N. Singh and others. The music of the film was the biggest asset of this film, and the songs "O, Tumko Piya, Dil Diya", "Mangi Hain Duaayen", "Ye Rangeen Mehfil" and "Agar Main Poochhoon", were catchy tunes that became popular on the music chart of the year. The film was loosely based on Hollywood films Dr. Cyclops and King Kong. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
