Chori Chori (1956)

Chori Chori is a 1956 Hindi film directed by Anant Thakur, with music by Shankar Jaikishan and lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra. The film is unofficial remake of the Hollywood movie, It Happened One Night and to suit the Indian culture the Hollywood story was modified and presented as Chori Chori. The film stars Raj Kapoor and Nargis. Bhagwan Dada, Pran, David, and Johnny Walker have character parts. This was the last film of Nargis-Raj Kapoor pair and the pair ended their affair with this film. Nargis started Mother India after this film and later met her prospective husband Sunil Dutt. The music was yet another thrilling endeavour of Shankar Jaikishan, with tracks ranging soothing melodies such as "Aaja Sanam" and "Yeh raat Bheegi Bheegi" in voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey, to fast beat songs such as "Jahan Mein Jati Hun" by Lata and Manna and "Sawa Lakh ki Lottery," with the vocals of the maestro Mohammad Rafi. The movie would later inspire the 1990s Hindi re-make Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, which was un-officially remake of Chori Chori. The 1991 movie presented by Mahesh Bhatt starring Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt in 1991, is scene by scene a copy of this 1956 film. Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin like the first one 'Chori Chori' too became a hit.
