“Chaalbaaz” appears to be quite a popular title for Hindi movies. Movies with this title were released at an almost uniform interval of nearly one decade each, starting from 1958. We have had movies called Chaalbaaz released in 1958, 1969, 1980 and 1989.
Songs from movies of 1969 and 1980 are represented in this blog.
Here is the first song from “Chaalbaaz”(1958) to appear in the blog. This movie was directed by Balwant Bhatt and Ram Kamlani for Neolight Films, Bombay. The movie had Nirupa Roy, Jairaj, Nishi, K N Singh, Jagdish, Sameer Kumar Cuckoo, David, Bhagwan, Moti (the horse) and Tiger (the dog) etc in it.
This song, which can be described as the title song of the movie is a duet which is sung by Lata and Rafi alongwith male and female chorus. Prem Dhawan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Chitragupta.
Only the audio of this song is available and so one can only make guesses about the picturisation of this song based on the audio of the song.
From the audio, it is seen that music director was under instructions to compose an O P Nayyar like music. And so, if one just listens to the song without being aware of the details of the song, one may well conclude that it is an O P Nayyar composition. One will of course quickly revise this opinion as soon as the song begins. If Lata’s voice is heard in the song then obviously it can not be an O P Nayyar composition. Nevertheless, listening to this song gives us an idea how Lata would have sounded if she sang under O P Nayyar’s baton.
This song may have been picturised very much like any other songs of this genre, viz as a Punjabi style community dance song where female group of dancers sing and dance and then the male group of dancers respond.
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

Lyrics
Duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
koi na jaane iska raaz
apna banaa ke
de jaaye dhokha
ho duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
chaalbaaz
dhokhebaaz
o daghaabaaz
chaalbaaz
dhokhebaaz
daghaabaaz
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
koi na jaane inka raaz
apna banaa ke de jaaye dhokha
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
ho ho ho
ho ho ho ho ho
bhola bhaala samjho na
bholi si nazar ko
karti hain kaam talwaar ka
aaho aaho
aaho aaho aaho ji
ek hi bahaane se ji
ek hi nishaane se
dil ye udaati hai hazaar ka
aaho aaho
aaho aaho aaho ji
hey
marte hain ham
ho khud hi sanam
ho karo jo ishaara zara pyaar ka
aisi hi nazar
ho kar lo idhar
hoga ehsaan sarkaar ka
waah waah ye nigaahen
ye adaayen
ye andaaz
chaalbaaz
dhokhebaaz
daghaabaaz
Duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
koi na jaane iska raaz
apna banaa ke de jaaye dhokha
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
ho o o o
o o o o
bade bade chor dekhe
seedhe saade roop mein
kar den safaai baat baat mein
aaho aaho
aaho aaho aaho ji
kare golmaal dekho
phir bhi kamaal dekho
rakhen saare duniya ko haath mein
aaho aaho
aaho aaho aaho ji
hey
pakde gaye to
arre jakde gaye yo
jaayenge ji seedhe hawaalaat mein
daudo aji daudo
ho baaten sab chhodo
baitha ho na koi kahin ghaat mein
jaan pehchaan gaye
saare saazbaaz
chaalbaaz
dhokhebaaz
daghaabaaz
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz
koi na jaane iska raaz
apna banaa ke de jaaye dhokha
duniya hai aisi chaalbaaz

I saw this movie when I was about 12 years old. All I remember that we quite shocked to see the goddess of the screen Nirupa Roy as a mere mortal, in a Robin Hood type role doing chalbaazi!

Its mandatory cooling period of 10 years before one reuses the same title.
