Chori Chori

Ahort Review :- Watched Chori Chori (1956) A classic adaption of timeless Hollywood classic It Happened One Night with unbeaten chemistry of Raj Kapoor-Nargis and one of the finest music album of it's time. Well, when it comes to adaption there is a certain pressure because most of the people had already seen the original and did went praising it like anything. People expect or rather I expect that what more will you bring apart from the original especially when you're gonna change the entire cultural theme of the film keeping the basis idea safe. Chori Chori is longer than expected and has some unnecessary characters and thier songs which i believe shouldn't have been made into final cut. That was quite ignorable because Indian audience was loving Bhagwan dada and Johnny Walker in small roles then. What Anant Thakur brings more is, Indian Culture, Songs, more emotions and the Male point of view is well explored. The only thing it lacked was the intelligence in those dialogues and master storytelling on little equations. Raj Kapoor as Sagar is fantastic but less compared to what Clarke Gable did and the female side of Nargis is also equally fantastic yet less than Claudette Colbert. Like i said, there was lack of intelligence in storytelling and the same might have hampered into characterisations. Not being too harsh, Chori Chori is a fine adaption but the thing you should complain is the original Won Oscar and this one didn't get any Indian Award except Shankar Jaikishan for thier Popular music. Overall, Chori Chori is Must Watch Rom Com for those who don't really watch much of retro Hollywood classics and the outcome is fair enough to get a positive feedback. Meanwhile, the Classic tag is hanging on the rope... Rating- 7.5/10*

Chori Chori is a romantic comedy film directed by Late Anant Thakur. It stars Late Raj Kapoor, Late Nargis, Late Bhagwan Dada, Late Gope, Late Pran, Late David, and Late Johnny Walker.

The film is hindi adaptation of 1934 classic "It happened one night".

This film which was the last film in which Raj Kapoor and Nargis starred opposite of each other and they had never disappointed whenever they are on screen and same was the case in this film as well.

The screenplay of the film is good and will keep you engaged till the climax. The beautiful and mesmerizing music by Late Shankar Jaikishen will make you spell-bounded.

Acting is superb and as mentioned the dynamic pair of Raj Kapoor and Nargis never disappoints, Pran who plays the role of playboy with perfection was impressive as always and not to forgot the superb comedy by Bhagwan Dada and Johnny Walker.

One of the best romantic comedy film of 50s and a must watch.

This is my third R. K movie, and after each one I fall in love with Raj Kapoor's work more and more. I have not seen the original movie, but I am sure to check it out soon.

Having in mind Raj Kapoor's in-real-life history with Nargis, It is no surprise the amazing chemistry they have on screen. If you are a fan of "enemies to lovers" type of storytell, this one is for one. The movie is long, per usual, because of the songs (definitely not my favourite album, but a few good ones), but the movie was so captivating to me, I watched it in one sitting!

Pitty that old Bollywood movies are being forgotten. Love is always represented in its truest and realest form, one can only wish for! The movie has no additional drama, that "adds" to the plot, characters are true to themselves from the beginning, which contributes to the developing of a good love story.

Chori Chori is a classic Bollywood film released in 1956, starring Raj Kapoor and Nargis in the lead roles. Directed by Anant Thakur, the movie is a romantic comedy that showcases the iconic on-screen chemistry between Kapoor and Nargis.

As they spend more time together, they fall in love, but their happiness is short-lived when Kammo discovers her father's identity and realizes that Sagar's father is responsible for her family's misfortunes. This creates a conflict between their love and their respective family obligations.

"Chori Chori" is known for its memorable music, composed by Shankar-Jaikishan, with lyrics penned by Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra. The film's soundtrack includes evergreen songs like "Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi," "Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein," and "Jahan Main Jaati Hoon." These songs have stood the test of time and are still loved by audiences today.

Raj Kapoor delivers a charismatic performance as Sagar, bringing his signature charm and wit to the character. Nargis, as Kammo, portrays a sweet and innocent village girl with grace and warmth. Their chemistry is palpable and forms the heart of the film. The supporting cast, including Pran, Gope, and Johnny Walker, also contribute well to the narrative.

It showcases the talents of Raj Kapoor and Nargis, along with memorable music and a well-crafted storyline. If you enjoy classic Bollywood movies with a touch of romance and comedy, "Chori Chori" is definitely worth watching.

That Raj Kapoor and Nargis made a great on screen couple is corroborated by this "It happened one night" inspired flick. Nargis is near perfect as the snobbish heiress on the run. She runs away from a caring father who puts his foot down when she wants to marry a playboy (Pran). Enroute she meets Raj Kapoor, a reporter who wants to do an exclusive on her journey. After the initial bickering and animosity, they fall in love. And after a big misunderstanding , everything gets sorted out in the end. Shankar Jaikishen come up with a score which has a winner in very number. Raj Kapoor is excellent and so is Nargis. Very very watchable.
