What looks like a typical bollywood affair is actually a film enriched with deep human emotions. It comments upon relationships of love, marriage and friendship. Starts out as a cute and sparkling romance between an ordinary man Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaaz who is the only child of rich parents. Yes, they marry and the initial cute and sparkling chemistry is short lived. Next, you'll expect a 'Love Conquers All' and 'They lived happily ever after' scenario which you will NOT get here. Rajesh Khanna becomes a victim of Insecurity and suspicion and ruins it all -- his love, his friendship, his life, his everything.

Which of the performances are the best? The beautiful Mumtaaz with her portrayal of a loving, exuberant and an understanding wife or Rajesh Khanna playing the suspicious husband who brings tears to your eyes seeing his hapless state towards the end, or is it Sanjeev Kumar's portrayal of a friend, the likes of which is a rarity in this world. With this legendary cast you wont have an answer to this question.

Kishore Kumar's soulful song -- 'Zindagi Ke Safar Mei Guzar Jaatein Hai' will stick with you long after this is over.

Aap Ki Kasam is an emotional family drama directed by J.Om Prakash.It is the story of a married couple Kamal(Rajesh Khanna) and Sunita(Mumtaz). Kamal is very possessive about Sunita.Initially they are happy in their marriage,but until cupid strikes.Kamal starts suspecting an affair between his wife and his close friend Mohan(Sanjeev Kumar),which is not true. This creates a rift between both of them.One day,Kamal sees a man running out from his house compound and misunderstands him to be his wife's lover.This acts as the final blow in their already strained relationship. She leaves home and later both of them get divorced.Later,Kamal gets to know the truth,but he is too late now.Why and what happens next forms the plot of the remaining portion of the story.

The film is a remake of a Malayalam film Vaazhve Mayam.The story is good, but the screenplay of the movie is very bad.The film is no sugary tale of happy endings,and that is good for a change.J.Om Prakash's direction is average.The music by R.D.Burman is good,but the songs 'suno kaho', and 'paas nahin aana' could have been done away with.But still they are good songs.The editing could have been crisper.The cinematography is average.The lyrics and dialogues are good.

Coming to the performances,Sanjeev Kumar stands out.He is very good and gives a very realistic performance as always.Rajesh Khanna is also very good.Mumtaz gives a very good performance.The supporting cast comprising of Rehman,Ranjeet,Dina Pathak,Ruby Myers,Ranjeet,Lolita Chatterjee, Asrani,Satyen Kappu,Jayshree.T.,Keshto Mukherjee,Murad,A.K.Hangal, Sunder, all of them have acted well.The film should have concentrated more on the post-marriage plot and the movie could have been shorter.

On the overall,the movie is an above average movie.The story is very good but hasn't been treated well.

One of the very best films. Few years back, when I started watching this film, I didn't find the beginning part exciting enough for me, so when I just decided to watch it last year, and loved the film.

Suspicion will destroy even the strongest and closest bonds of a person. I lost track of time while watching film and I was moved by the film, acting of the giants Rajesh Khanna and Sanjeev Kumar.

SRK and Salman's Hum tumare hain sanam is a remake of this film. I have seen that film, but I'll still put this film first and won't compare it with any.

This movie should be seen by everyone, especially married couples as the issue shown in it causes happy married lives to torn.

Aap ki kasam by J.Om prakash features a very good star cast. It was one of the 2 movies which had sanjeev kumar sharing screen space with kaka.

The plot is basically about how suspicion can ruin a marriage. The first half is breezy with romantic songs & lovely locales. The second half turns serious leading to a tragic & emotional climax.

Sanjeev kumar is very good though he has limited screen space. Mumtaz is bubbly & shares an excellent chemistry with kaka (as usual), specially in the "Jai Jai Shiva SHanker" song.

R.D Burman's songs are chartbusters photography is superb.

Now coming to the hero of the film - Rajesh khanna. He is charm personified in the romantic scenes & slowly transforms into a suspicious husband & then a repenting figure towards the end. Though the story is centered around Mumtaz, Kaka steals the show with a stupendous performance.

The scenes where he feels hurt when he requests Mumtaz to sing a song & she refuses, slapping sanjeev kumar with disgust on his face, apologizing to his father-in-law & finally his emotional dialogue & expressions in the climax are remarkable.

A film which will always remain a firm favorite for Rajesh khanna's fans.
