Story
Chambal Ki Qasam is a 1979 Indian Bollywood film released on 1979. It was the independence day. Raja Thakur-the founder of Datia school got up proudly on the dias to award prizes to various winnder including his two young promising sons-Suraj and Ripudaman-for securing distinctions in various subjects. Suraj had an added honour for standing first in an essay competition on Gandhi and Ahimsa. . It was a day of great rejoicing and excitment not for Raja Tahkur alone but for the entire family as well. To celebrate the day bettingly, each and every corner of the haveli was lit up dazzlingly; alms were disturbed among the poor etc. . The haveli resounded as never before with the fire works, the merry songs and joyous, hearty laughter of the inmates. Everybody was busy in celebrating the occasion with eclat and enthusias, . All saw in Suraj another sun rising on the horizon of the Thakur family with all its radiance and glory. . Suddenly, a mighty storm gathered with all its devastiting fury. With a single stroke, Zalim Singh, a notorious dacoit wiped off the entire family. The songs of festivity changed into the horrible shrieks of death...Suraj, a helpless orphan now, was dragged through the corpses ofhis parents and loyal servants, away to the ravines by the hordes of Zalim Singh who took possession of the haveli itself. . One day, Suraj managed to escape from the den of the dacoits. He moved up and down the ravines but could find no shelter, no love, no solace....Wherever he went, the soft, tender, lilting lulluby of his mother and Mausi haunted him lika a passion. Facing hazards of insecurity, Suraj grew up in the wildernes of the ravines and finding no protection and justice from law, he became an outlaw-a law unto himself. . As chance would have it, he met with his long seperated sister Gudia and Mausi. But none could own him being a notorious dacoit who was a terror in the Chambal Valley. Again he was left all alone. The civilized society treated him as a curse. None except his gun was his comapanion in the wasteland of his life. Ironically, an outcast-Tanno Bai-came to his rescue; gave him constant company and solace...As time passed on, they became intimate lovers. A strange combination of an outlaw and an outcast. . Badan Singh and Tanno decided to unite to make their bonds of love sacrosanct. Away from the searching eyes of law, they danced; they sang to the stars, flowers, the sun and the moon...But wherever they went, they were chased by Law. . Repudaman Singh, as a loyal police officer, advised him to surrender before law by giving up the conceit of self-righteousness. Crims is a crime after all irrespective of any motive whatsoever of committing it. . But Badan Singh entertained none of his homlies. He was just see thing with revenge for the murder of his parents. Injured and insulted, he remained glued to the path of violence. [Source: Booklet] Check out this page for more updates on Chambal Ki Qasam.
