“Chor Ho To Aisaa-1978” was directed by Ravi Tandon for ‘N.P. International, Bombay’. It had Shatrughan Sinha, Reena Roy, Pran, Madan Puri, Anwar Hussain, Birbal, Sulochana, Baldev Khosa, Mac Mohan, Shabana, Ranveer Raj, Hareesh, Vandana Shastri, Jankidas, Jagdish Raj, Vikas Anand, Azad, Rajan Kapoor, Master Raju and others. Raza Murad, Bindu and Rajendra Nath had special appearances in this movie. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 20.04.1978. This movie has four songs written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and R.D Burman was the composer for this movie. Asha Bhonsle, Hemant Kumar, Kishore Kumar, Mohd Rafi and Manna Dey were the singers for the songs in this movie.
“Chor Ho To Aisaa-1978” seems to me a forgotten movie of those years as I do not recollect to have ever watched it or read about it anywhere. The songs from this movie also seemed to be lesser heard songs. This movie has woven around the ‘lost and found’ plot. I have not watched this full movie yet, but I am giving below very brief about the story of this movie after watching some part of this movie.
Jaggu (Anwar Hussain) and Madan Puri (Ram) are friends in crime. Pran Nath (Pran) is a poor but honest person working in a jewelry shop. Jaggu gets a jail term in a crime on the testimony of Pran Nath and he vows to take revenge on Pran Nath by destroying his family. So, with the help of Ramu, Jaggu conspires a plan where Pran Nath is implicated in the theft in the same jewelry shop where he is working. Police arrested Pran Nath after raiding his house and finding the stolen jewelry from his house. Pran Nath’s son (Master Raju) and his wife (Sulochana) are left shattered after his arrest and later after getting to know that the Police Vehicle carrying Pran Nath and other prisoners had met an accident on the way, and all prisoners were dead.
However, Pran Nath survives in the accident and becomes Arjun Dada to carryout ‘Robin hood type’ activities with a grown ‘black & white’ beard 🙂 . (Earlier he used to be a clean-shaven very ‘shareef-insaan’.
Ramu abducts Pran Nath’s son Sanju and trained him to become a well-known ‘chor’ as ‘Shankar’ i.e. played by Shatrughan Sinha. Pran Nath’s wife (Sulochana) got hit on the road by a car driven by Police Inspector (Jagdish Raj) who took her to his home and she stayed there as his sister and. Sanju alias Shankar is aware of that Ramu is the only person who knows about this parents and in the hope of that he keep him alive though always fighting with him and always calling him as ‘Buddhe’:)
So, one would ask when we already have a ‘chor betaa’ and his ‘baap’ as a ‘choron kaa chor’, and a movie already titled as ‘Chor Ho To Aisaa’ where and what is the scope for the heroine in this movie? So, we have a ‘sub-plot’ where we have the brother Birju (Raza Murad) and a sister (Reena Roy) living in a village peacefully. Birju wants to get his sister married on a ‘grand scale’ (dhoom dhaam se ). And for this purpose, he needs to earn ‘bahot saaraa paisaa’ for which he comes to city i.e. Bombay. In the city he unknowingly joins as driver with people who are involved in ‘smuggling’. After coming to the city and getting trapped in ‘his master’s business’ 🙂 he could not keep his promise of posting letters ‘regularly’ to his sister and so his sister Champa (Reena Roy) came to city to find him. She has her ‘mousee’ in living the city. Incidentally Champa’s Mausee sends Arjun Dada/Pran Nath to receive her at the Railway Station and that is how they get introduced.
Before this incident Arjun Dada and Shankar had already got introduced to each other in the case of ‘robbing the robber’ i.e. Arjun Dada robbing Shankar of the money which he gets after cheating as a ‘social worker’ from a donor. Arjun Dada uses this money to help needy, poor and orphaned children always. That is how the story progresses, and incidentally we have Shankar saving Champa from goons and further coming closer to Arjun Dada who he is not aware is his father. Pran Nath finds his wife as the same Police Officer’s ‘Mousee’ whose son’s ‘lost gold chain’ was recovered by Pran Nath from one of his own team members and returned to the officer back. How the family finally gets united is to be watched in this movie.
In this process we have music and songs. So, here is another song from this movie which is a routine ‘roothhnaa-manaanaa’ type song. It happens when Shankar Dada is setting a trap to steal the wallet of a sethjee on the road and when Champa tries to interfere there, he calls her as ‘junglee kabutaree, anpadh, jaaheel, ganwaar’ and she is offended. So, Champa threatens Shankar of leaving the city and hoping that he will stop her from doing so… But he didn’t even try to stop her and hence this song, when he finally tells her that ‘aaj se teraa rastaa alag, aur meraa rastaa alag’.. As the song ends both of them hug each other forgetting about their ‘giley-shikwe’s 😊
On screen we have Reena Roy lip syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice, with Shatrughan Sinha also visible in the picturisation. Lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and music is composed by R.D. Burman.
Today 7th Januanry 2025 also happens to be the sixty-eighth birthday of actress Reena Roy(born on 7th January 1957). On this occasion we wish her a very happy birthday, and a healthy and peaceful life ahead. Let us now enjoy this lesser heard, but quite enjoyable, song composed by Pancham.
