The cast included Mahendra Sandhu, Preeti Sapru, Narendranath, D K Sapru, Raju Desai, Prakash Gill, Salima Din, Ajit Singh Deol, Mohan Baggad, Gurubachan Singh etc. Mithun Chakraborty worked in the film in a small role as villain’s henchman but was not credited. Director, Sher Jung Singh is the brother-in-law of Dharmendra, his sister being married to him. Actor, Ajit Singh Deol is the younger brother of Dharmendra.

The film’s title, ‘Habari’ appears to have been drawn from Swahili language which is the national language of Kenya. ‘Habari’ is a colloquial way of greetings in Kenya which means ‘how are the things’? or ‘how is the life’?. Since the outdoor shooting was done majorly in the National Parks of Kenya, probably, the producer/director thought of giving this title.

In this article, I am taking up the film, ‘Sailaab’ (1990) for the only reason that the chartbuster song from the film which is my all-time favourite dance song of Madhuri Dixit is yet to appear on the Blog. The film would have faded from the memory of the current generation but for this cult dance song. The video of this song which was uploaded only about five years back has already attained 11 million views.

‘Jungal Mein Mangal’ (1972) was produced and directed by Rajendra Bhatia. The cast included Pran, Kiran Kumar, Reena Roy, Sonia Sahni, Chandrashekhar, Gulshan Bawra, Jagdish Raj, Upendra Trivedi, Arvind Trivedi, Paintal, V. Gopal, Chaman Puri, Bharat Kapoor, Birbal, Krishan Dhawan, Jayshree T., Padma Khanna, Meena T., Meena Rai, Narendra Nath, Balraj Sahni, Pardesi, Hari Yogesh, Shashi Kiran, Ashok Thanki, Bhanumati, Rajni Gupta, Chandabai, Uma Khosla etc. The film was a remake of the Malayalam film, ‘Rest House’ (1969). The outdoor shooting of the film was majorly done in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala.

The film is a romantic comedy which turns into a crime thriller towards the end. Two groups of students – one all male students led by a woman-hating retired Colonel and other all-female students led by a strict, man-hating lady biology professor converge in a same wild life sanctuary and stay in the Government Rest House. There are conflicts as well as romance between two groups leading to some comedy. However, after the mysterious death of one student each from the group, both groups unite to solve the mystery of their colleagues’ death. The film is a good ‘time pass’ entertainer in which Pran has a double role as the retired colonel as well as an effeminate student.
