The movie Hum Paanch was a social drama that revolved mostly around a rich man named Veer Pratap Singh ( Amrish Puri ) who was not only rich but was also the ruler of a small community where he ruled without any objections. If anyone tried to object to his wish, he was suppressed instantaneously. He comes across a young and beautiful girl named Soundariya ( Shabana Azmi ) whom he loved a lot. Both fell in love with each other and got married secretly to each other.

Everything was going fine until one day Soundariya finds that she is now pregnant. Veer asked her to abort her child but she didn’t want to do that. This created more problems to her as he refused to have married her ever and also denied the fact that it was his child. Her brothers tried to help her and get her justice but they were dealt ruthlessly by Veer’s bodyguard Bhima ( Mithun Chakraborty ). The life has taken a serious turn for Soundariya.

The songs of the movie are:
1.    Aati hai paalki sarkaar ki jai ho
2.    Arre apnon se munh mod ke
3.    Arre kya kahiye insaan se
4.    Dheere chal zara o paagal puraiya
5.    Ham paanch paandav yeh shakuni maama
6.    Ka jaanoon main sajniya chamke jee kab chandaniya
7.    Yeh dil hai yeh hai jaan shauk se lijiye
