Chori Chori (Hindi: चोरी चोरी, Urdu: چوری چوری) is a 1956 Hindi film directed by Anant Thakur, with music by Shankar Jaikishan and lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri. The film is inspired by the Hollywood movie, It Happened One Night. The film stars Raj Kapoor and Nargis; Bhagwan Dada, Pran, David, and Johnny Walker have character parts. The movie would later inspire the 1990s Hindi re-make, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin.
This story describes how destiny transforms a rich and spoilt girl Kammo, matured enough, to take the right decision in life. Kammo falls in love with a greedy man, Suman Kumar and changes herself completely to marry him. Will Kammo spoil her life by marrying Suman Kumar?
Chori Chori is another example of Raj at his best - though, that said, the movie really belongs to Nargis. This was one of those movies that we enjoyed so much that, even though the ending is happy, we were left depressed. Sigh! If only life was like it is in Chori Chori! Alas.
