# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Memories of Binaca Geetmala – 1977)
——————————————-———————————————

Today’s song is from the ‘1977’ movie ‘Qasam Khoon Ki’ or ‘Kasam Khoon Ki’. This song stood at no. 37 in the ‘annual Binaca Geetmala’ of the year ‘1977’. That is the reason for this post here

Though this song figured in the Binaca geetmala final, I have no recollections of either the movie or this song. The other reason for ‘liking’the song is its lyrics that talks of bringing down the soaring price of gold. . I have no idea if the suggestion made in this song can be used to bring down the price of gold. The main customer of gold, viz women too are unlikely to take the suggestion contained in the song any serious thought.

“Qasam Khoon Ki-1977” was directed by Ashok Roy for ‘Tirupati Pictures, Bombay’. It was produced by Prasan Kapoor (Jeetendra’s brother). It had Jeetendra, Sulakshana Pandit, Asrani, Farida Jalal, Aruna Irani, Nirupa Roy, Prem Chopra, Om Shivpuri, Sujit Kumar, Tarun Ghosh, Asit Sen, Sarla Yewlekar, Murad, Shetty, Vikas Anand, Jankidas, Maruti, Kundan, Raj Kishore, Dilip Dutt, Madhu Chauhan, Vinod Sharma, Master Raju Desai, Master Raju, Baby Rani and others. Madan Puri, Roopesh Kumar, Shakti Kapoor, and Amjad Khan had a friendly appearance in this movie. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 07.09.1977.

Story of this movie was written by K.A. Narayan and dialogues were written by Charandas Shokh. Screenplay was shared by Tarun Ghosh and Charandas Shokh. Editing of this movie was done by Waman Bhonsle and Gurudutt Shirali.

Here is the plot of the movie which is taken partly from ‘Wikipedia Page’ of this movie and added inputs from me with correction wherever wrong information is shared on ‘Wikipedia’. (I have also added the actor’s names with their respective character names in the movie)…

Seth Dwarkadas (Om Shivpuri) is a rich, well known, and respected. But no one knew the real Seth Dwarkadas; his ‘business’ is ‘trafficking of women’. One day, his wife Shanti (Nirupa Roy) discovers this and leaves the house with her children who later grow up as Kishan (Jeetendra) and Ganga (Farida Jalal).

After twenty years, Kishan needs Rs.25, 000/- in less than six months to get his sister married to the son of Seth Dharamdas (Jankidas) who demands this amount for his son’s higher studies. Seth Dharamdas puts this condition for the earlier decided marriage now posing a threat to the marriage. Kishan decides to re-locate to Bombay to his friend Gafoor Mistry (Asrani) to try and earn the money. Gafoor is running a ‘motor garage’. Kishan tries different jobs including doing stunts for movies to accumulate the money. Once Kishan rescues a young woman named Radha (Sulakshana Pandit) from hoodlums and learns from her that her cop brother, Laxman (Sujit Kumar), is imprisoned for a murder he did not commit, and is to be hanged soon. Kishan decides to help her brother…

“Aap itminaan rakhiye, agar kisi beqasoor ko phaansi ke tqkhtepar chadhha diya gayaa to ye aap ke saath hi nahin, insaaf ke saath bi zulm hogaa” (I guess this should be the best dialogue of this movie otherwise  )

In order to do this, he gets himself arrested and imprisoned in the same jail as Laxman. Hearing from Laxman about ‘how it all happened’ he gets to know that the main connection to this is a hotel ‘‘Moonlight Club” and the ‘activities’ going there. Laxman told him that he was sure that a big ‘gang’ was operating there and involved in smuggling and other anti-social acts. Our ‘smart hero’ Kishan further finds out that a goon Bajirao (Amjad Khan) is a womaniser and involved in luring girls and working for Prem (Prem Chopra). Prem is the ‘right hand’ of the boss of this gang who is none other than Kishan’s father Seth Dwarkadas (Om Shivpuri).
Kishan gets hold of Bajirao through a ‘trap’ where Radha helps him in this plan and Bajirao’s admitting of the crime is get recorded and police arrests him thus freeing Laxman from the jail.
When everything seems to be getting on the right track, one day, Kishan gets a ‘telegram’ from his mother Shanti to reach ‘gaaon-ghar’ immediately. On reaching home Kishan gets to know that his sister Ganga has left the home as she has find the ‘right’ person with whom she will settle her life together. But Ganga is cheated in love by Prem who rapes her to force her into the ‘flesh-trade’. Kishan finds his sister in the brothel and in this process is helped by Poonam whom Kishan affirms as ‘sister’. However, on seeing her brother Kishan, Ganga tries to run away as she has become ‘apavitra’ now and in the process throws herself down from a high-rise building and dying on the spot. It is here that Kishan vows for revenge ‘main apni is maasoom bahan ke khoon ki kasam khaa kar kehtaa hoon ke uss khooni ko meri bahan ke khoon ke ek ek katre ka hisaab dena hogaa’… With usual twists and turns finally the movie ends with Prem getting killed the same away as Ganga was and Seth Dwarkadas sacrifices his life to save Kishan from Prem, but not before taking a ‘Kasam Khoon Ki’ from his wife Shanti … what is that?… Watch the movie to know this and to enjoy the ‘cinema of the seventies’.

“Qasam Khoon Ki-1977” has six songs (including one two part song). Five songs were written by Verma Malik and one song was penned by Anjaan.

Music for this movie was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji (assisted by Babla, Frank Fernand and Anil Mohile). Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Mahendra Kapoor, Mohd Rafi, Sulakshana Pandit and Kanchan were the playback singers for the songs in this movie.

I was wondering how this song got popular enough to appear in the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ as we have seen that many times many songs missed this ‘coveted’ list. I do not remember reading about this movie and this movie does not figure in the list of successful movies. It does not even feature in the top fifty movies of that year. May be people liked the ‘alternative’ suggested by the lady in this song, temporarily though, because the gold prices nevertheless kept rising and rising over the years. Out of curiosity I checked the prices of gold for that year. 10 gms Gold was and at Rs.486.00. That is less than a ‘Regular Popcorn Combo’ price that one gets at the theatre nowadays.

Here are the comparative gold prices for the decades passed after this movie was released.

(I am not going deeper into this subject since I do not think I am as expert as my ‘wife’ is, when it comes to gold and its prices. ).

That is why I am always in awe of people and particularly ‘males’ who deal in gold ‘confidently’, even when, they accompany their wives or even without being accompanied by them. I remember, once, when I was posted at Phulpur-Allahabad and I had to accompany my boss to buy a gift for a ‘client’s daughter marriage’ how he was bargaining and he had knowledge about the minutest details of gold. I think it is just ‘matter of ones’ interest’. I am less interested and so very shy when dealing about ‘gold’. Experts can definitely throw more light on this – GOLD.

Let us now enjoy this song which I think is edited from the online version of this movie as it is not there on the link which I came across. But the video of this song is available for us.

This song happens when Kishan (Jeetendra) lays a trap for Bajirao and Radha (Sulakshana Pandit) tries to entertain and seduce Bajirao (Amjad Khan). Lyrics for this song are by Anjaan and music is composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.

With this song the movie ‘Kasam Khoon Ki-1977’ makes its debut on the blog.

For some good ‘music-movie-memory reasons’ I will be sharing some more songs from the year ‘1977’ on the blog. Let us now enjoy this song from “Qasam Khoon Ki”(1977).

मैं पीतल की पायलिया
मैं पीतल की पायलिया भी
पहनूँ जो पाँव में
सोने का भाव
सोने का भाव गिर जाये ए ए
शीशे का भी नग जो
जड़ा लूँ नथनियाँ में
शीशे का भी नग जो
जड़ा लूँ नथनियाँ में
हीरे का भाव
हीरे का भाव गिर जाये ए ए
पीतल की पायलिया भी
पहनूँ जो पाँव में

मेरा सिंगार यही
सूरत है मेरी
मेरा सिंगार यही
सूरत है मेरी
सूरत भी क्या खूबसूरत है मेरी
गहनों की मुझको ज़रूरत नहीं है
गहनों की मुझको ज़रूरत नहीं है
गहनों को शायद
ज़रूरत हो मेरी ई
मैं अंग अपने
जिसको सजा लूँ
उसका नसीब
फिर जाये ए ए
पीतल की पायलिया
मैं पीतल की पायलिया भी
पहनूँ जो पाँव में
सोने का भाव
सोने का भाव गिर जाये ए ए
पीतल की पायलिया भी
पहनूँ जो पाँव में

ये प्यार मेरा
तुझे महंगा पड़ेगा
ये प्यार मेरा
तुझे महंगा पड़ेगा
तू मोल क्या मेरे दिल का चुकाए
वो हार मेरे
गले का बनेगा आ
वो हार मेरे
गले का बनेगा
जो प्यार में
जान पर खेल जाये ए

मेरी नज़र से
गिर जाये जो दिल
शोलों में वही
घिर जाये ए ए
पीतल की पायलिया
मैं पीतल की पायलिया भी
पहनूँ जो पाँव में
सोने का भाव
सोने का भाव गिर जाये ए ए
शीशे का भी नग जो
जड़ा लूँ नथनियाँ में
शीशे का भी नग जो
जड़ा लूँ नथनियाँ में
हीरे का भाव
हीरे का भाव गिर जाये ए ए
पीतल की पायलिया भी
पहनूँ जो पाँव में
