Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin is a 1977 Indian Hindi movie. The 1977 was movie produced and directed by Nasir Hussain.
The movie stars Rishi Kapoor, Zeenat Aman Kaajal Kiran, Tariq, Amjad Khan, Om Shivpuri, Jalal Agha and Tom Alter. The title song was picturized on Rishi and Zeenat and was a highlight. Another of the film's highlight was a song contest picturised on Rishi, Tariq and Kaajal which featured some back to back songs on the screen. Although Tariq earned a Filmfare nomination as Best Supporting Actor, he and Kaajal Kiran never had such a big hit ever again. This was Kaajal Kiran's film debut, and she was cute and bore a resemblance to another starlet of that time, Bindiya Goswami, but critics commented that Kaajal was no Asha Parekh, who had earlier debuted in Hussain's Dil Deke Dekho(1959) and became one of the top icons in Hindi films, as well as an award-winning actress.
The music of this film was given by Rahul Dev Burman for which he received a Filmfare Nomination for Best Music. The music dominated the year's charts. The movie's main claim to fame then is the resurgence of Mohammed Rafi as a top male playback singer. His unforgettable singing for "Kya Hua Tera Wada" won him the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer and the Filmfare Best Male Playback Award. In 1970, Kishore Kumar had taken the top spot from Rafi, and R.D. Burman used him nearly exclusively, for all of his films. But with "Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin," Hussain insisted on equal distribution of songs between Kishore Kumar and Rafi, so each got four songs.
For Nasir hussain also, this was the height of his success, he had at that time an unbroken string of huge hits strecthing back to the 1950's, but as a director he never such a big hit ever again. It was only with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak directed by his son that his production house had a hit again.
