Khazana is a 1987 Indian Hindi-language action-adventure film, produced by Subhash Kapoor under the Subhash International banner and directed by Harmesh Malhotra. It stars Randhir Kapoor and Rekha, while Jeetendra, Rishi Kapoor have special appearances and music was composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal.[1] [2] The movie is loosely based on the 1984 Kannada movie Gandu Bherunda which in turn was inspired by the 1969 American film Mackenna's Gold.[3]
The film revolves around a valuable ancient treasure of the Mughals hidden at Registan. Its route map, which is sculpted on a slab, is shared by two archaeologists Prof. Ramdayal Singh & Prof. Mathur. Jai Singh, a malevolent, is behind this to usurp it. Ramdayal approaches a jeweler Shanti Das to polish the slap for which Jai Singh abducts him. Being aware of its recovery by Ramdayal, Jai Singh slays Shantidas. Before dying, he leaves a clue for his son Raj Kumar / Raj about a girl Anita. Holding it, Raj moves in quest of them. Amid this, he is acquainted with Ramdayal and gets knowledge regarding the treasure. Thereafter, Ramdayal is killed, and the slab is stolen. Raj succeeds in catching hold of Anita when he learns she is the daughter of Prof. Mathur. He also knows that Jai Singh abducts Prof. Mathur and Anita is forcibly grabbed into their gang. Later, Raj reaches Bikaner and befriends a tribal leader Badal who is also on the hunt for the treasure. With his aid, he frees Prof. Mathur and all of them make an adventurous journey and find the treasure when Jai Singh attacks them. At last, baddies are ceased, and treasure is safeguarded. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
The music of the film was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and the lyrics were penned by Anand Bakshi.
