Chori Chori
Nargis and Raj Kapoor
   
1956
Hollywood fills neon gas into tubes that spell SHOWBIZ. Bombay does two cartwheels and a jig before screaming back DITTO. Thematically, films are beginning to trace Western trends. Chori Chori is Frank Capra's It Happened One Night. A millionaire. His daughter. Her love... who is a gold digger! The storyline is a cliché, but who cares? Passionate violins add colour to Nargis's black-and-white cheeks!

Sepia
If music ever was the language of love, it is now. Naushad, S D Burman, Madan Mohan, Shanker-Jaikishan. Chori Chori is Shanker-Jaikishan at their best.

Uncut
This is the last film Nargis and Raj Kapoor worked together in as a romantic pair. Her only other appearance after this in a RK film is a cameo in Jagte Raho.
