Beimaan baalmaa maan bhi jaa
Posted on: July 10, 2009
This is a song from “Ham Sab Chor Hain” (1956). It is a movie where Shammi Kapoor( of his pre Shammi mannerisms days) is seen with Nalini Jaiwant. From the picturisation, it seems that Nalini Jaiwant enters Shammi Kapoor’s room without his permission and policemen look at her suspiciously. She calls for Shammi Kapoor (beimaan baalma). When he turns up, the policemen are satisfied and go away. Shammi Kapoor ofcourse wants nothing of her and he tries to throw her out even though she has not yet completed her singing. The protocol in Bollywood songs is, one waits for the song to end before one throws the singer out. 😉
