WHEN THE QUEEN AMONG

RIVERS

WAS LOCKED IN A PILGRIMS HEART.

"JIS DESH MEN GANGA BEHTI HAI" is the strange story of the progress of a strange pilgrim.

Raj Kapoor in the famous song sequence, "Hoton pe sachcha rehti hai"

Raju, a simple hearted "child" of the soil, with a song on his lips and the queen among rivers in his heart, sings his way into the souls where for centuries the monster of hate and crime has resided. It is for him the greatest of all pilgrimages, his carrying the holy rivers into the hearts and souls of men. Such is our pilgrim, the hero of "JIS DESH MEN GANGA BEHTI HAI".
It is the story of his love for a dacoit girl : his conflict with the killer whom he treats as a wayward child of Mother-India; his adventure as an inspired "accomplise" of the same killer
