Qimmat

Qimmat is a term found in several South Asian and Middle Eastern languages, most commonly encountered in Urdu and Persian as a transliteration of the Arabic word “قيمـة” (qiyamā), which means “value”, “worth”, or “price”. In everyday usage, it refers to the monetary cost of goods or services, and it is often employed in legal and commercial contexts. The word carries connotations of intrinsic or market value and can be used metaphysically to discuss the value of ideas or moral principles. It is frequently found in poetry and prose, where it denotes both tangible and intangible worth.

Beyond its lexical use, Qimmat is also the title of a 2002 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Kashish M. K. The movie stars Anil Kapoor, Tabu, and Shah Rukh Khan in a supporting role. The plot revolves around the struggles of a group of friends trying to achieve success in the competitive world of business while confronting social injustices. Produced by Ajay Devgn's production house, the film blends elements of drama, romance, and action, and features music composed by Anu Malik. Although the film received mixed reviews, it is noted for its portrayal of contemporary urban challenges and for its contributions to early 2000s Bollywood cinema.
