Raaj Kumar’s Iconic Scene: 'Ham Gareebon Ki Kamjori' Dialogue

“Chinoy Seth, those who live in glass houses don’t throw stones at others.” Does this dialogue ring a bell? Yes, indeed! This iconic line belongs to the legendary actor Raaj Kumar. His delivery was so captivating that no one has matched it since. His unique style was remarkable in his era.

Today, we’re going to highlight some of the best scenes from Raaj Kumar’s film Marte Dum Tak.

The Courtroom Entrance: In the opening scene,  Raaj Kumar makes a striking entry into the courtroom. All eyes turn to him as he removes his glasses and wipes the sweat from his face before putting them back on. This simple action communicates everything to the judge, leading to the release of the accused. This scene has garnered a dedicated fan following.

Powerful Dialogue: Another memorable moment from the film features Raaj Kumar delivering the line, “Don’t call us gods, Baba; we feel the weakness of the poor, not the power of the rich. Gods are made by those who have power, and we reflect what fate holds.” His expressions shift dramatically, especially when he mentions feeling the weakness of the poor, hinting at a deep sense of sadness as if reminiscing about his past. He follows this with a confident statement about receiving letters of appointment directly after a phone call, showcasing his self-assuredness.

The Collection Scene: In a tense collection scene involving Govinda, Raaj Kumar’s character confronts a defaulter, Tej Sapru, who refuses to return money. He hangs him over the sea, instilling fear and compelling him to pay up. As he holds a pistol, his line, “Our ears cannot bear a ‘no’; if they do, embers come out,” reflects his power and authority.

Defiance Against Adversity: “We don’t talk to dogs; a jackal that gnaws on bones doesn’t become a lion by howling. Rana’s horse doesn’t trot; it strikes directly.” In this scene, dressed casually with a yellow scarf and holding a juice, Raaj Kumar appears relaxed but uses his dialogue to defeat his adversaries.

Facing Death: When death approaches, people remember not just God but also Rana. Raaj Kumar delivers this powerful dialogue while sending his enemy's brother’s body in a coffin. His expressions during this line exude intensity and command.

A Rare Smile: There’s a moment in the film where Raaj Kumar, as Rana, smiles while lending some money to Govinda for his sister’s wedding. His face radiates emotion, and there’s a sparkle in his eyes that signifies genuine happiness.

Vengeful Intent: Later, he instructs Govinda to find their enemy, P.C. Mathur. In this scene, his demeanor changes drastically, showing anger and a thirst for revenge.

It’s worth noting that Raaj Kumar's real name was Kulbhushan Pandit. Over a film career spanning more than four decades, he acted in about 70 films, including classics like Mother India, Humraaz, and Heer Ranjha. His first film, Rangeeli, was released in 1952. Raaj Kumar is considered one of Indian cinema’s most successful actors and is often listed among the superstars of his time.

Interestingly, he insisted on spelling his name with a double “A” after the “R.” There’s a famous story about a film release where the banner mistakenly spelled his name as “Raajkumar.” Upon learning this, he called the producer in his signature bold style, saying, “You don’t know? It’s spelled RaajKUMAR, not RaajKUMAR. Change the banner right now!” After that, the double “A” became part of his name.
