Aap Ki Kasam

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.

Highly Recommended!

Review By Kamal K

Aap Ki Kasam is a very emotional story which alternately enraged me and then made me cheer, and it isn't one of those "happily ever after" films you sort of expect from 70s Bollywood. It highlights several of Rajesh Khanna's finer qualities: he picked unusual films and scripts-with unusual roles for a "hero"-and he didn't mind sharing screen space with equally adept actors like Sanjeev Kumar.

RD Burman's music is fabulous as well. I especially love the exuberant song "Jai Jai Shiv Shankar.

Sanjeev Kumar in this itsy bitsy role is absolutely wasted. They should have opted for someone else. Sanjeev Kumar is too good an actor for this small supporting role. The comic interludes starring Kesto Mukherjee should have been cut out. They eat into the narrative.

Rajesh Khanna exercises restraint as the jealous husband. Mumtaz is very good as Sunita. She looks a bit old in those westerns but in her performance she is top-notch. Especially when she lands a proverbial slap on Kamal's face by walking out on him, I feel like running and hugging her. Yes, her actions and expressions deserve an applause there...

A very familiar dramatic story one can easily relate with. Such misunderstandings are likely to be created specially between a husband & a wife by others, however, these so called "others" don't get any benefit of that. Its just a 'to make fun of' topic for them. This movie really gives a mature & simple cut to the point message of trust, honesty & love. It is very easy to love but to maintain it life long is too difficult. All the characters in the movie have done a successful and impactful job to bind the viewers. Specially the ending is a perfect one. A very emotional combination of all the feelings in the most beautiful manner.

Kamal is a small town guy who also has a lot of respect during his days as a youth. This plot somehow connects to the time when his friend Mohan Babu offers him a job and place to live which he willingly takes up but has always been stuck there in his mind. Sunita is a well off , beautiful and open minded girl who gets along with Mohan Babu in a very casual neighbor relation. Here the plot on Mohan Babu who has a disturbed marriage has been used as the seed that makes Kamal dubious about the closeness between his wife and Mohan Babu as a close possibility. He is mystified by the mistrust building up inside him and his manhood relents to get him out of the zone. The Story quickly takes a steep turn when he is faced with reality again pitching in the negative side of Kamal thereby filling him with a sense of regret and failure. He finally is able to fill his regrets when he dies in the arms of his own daughter and touching the feet of his ex-wife Sunita.

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.
