- Chor Chor ( 1974) is a crime thriller with Vijay Anand and Leena Chandravarkar in lead roles.Produced by Vijay Anand, the film was directed by his long time associate Prem Prakash. It is a two hour suspense thriller without any songs in it, which is surprising because one always expects the Vijay Anand films to have a number of melodious and artistically filmed songs. The only thing close to a song in Chor Chor is that Goldie himself sings two or three lines of the House Number 44 song- Phaili Hui Hai Sapno Ki Rahe- in a party, and his voice is used by the villain to frame him in an act of bank robbery. Aakash ( Goldie) is a bank manager, and his father (played by Iftekhar) is a retired police officer who tells his son one day that he saw a criminal named Chandan he thought had died twenty years ago. The same evening, the criminal attacks and kills Iftekhar who, before he dies, manages to tear a piece of the criminal's shirt collar. It is seen that the collar has the label of Stylo Tailor of Panchgani. Goldie gets himself transferred to the Panchgani branch of the bank so that he can investigate about the murder. There, he meets the beautiful girl Hema (Leena Chadravarkar) who , with her mother, runs a guest house. Goldie stays in this guest house as a paying guest which reminds the viewers of the film Kala Pani in which Dev Anand stays in a similar guest house in Hyderabad. Right from the beginning, the viewer knows the killer(played by Trilok Kapoor, brother of Prithvi Raj Kapoor, and known mostly for his role as Lord Shiva in the religious films) .The killer also knows that the hero is looking for him. So the suspense is how would the hero figure out who the killer is .There are two sub plots and about half a dozen red herrings to keep the hero confused. The first sub plot is that the killer has a dual identity. He was a criminal Chandan, accused of five murders, but he is also seen as Dr. Dharam Veer of Panchgani who has secret plans to rob forty lac rupees from the local bank . It is the same bank where the hero Aakash has joined as a replacement to the regular bank manager (played by Jairaj) who is faking illness because he is blackmailed by the killer which brings us to the second sub plot. The killer knows that Jairaj is the biological father of the heroine as he was in love with the heroine's mother Kamala whose parents arranged her marriage with someone else. As Kamala was pregnant with Jairaj's child, her husband had a fight with Jairaj in which the latter unintentionally killed the former . This knowledge gives the killer doctor Dharam Veer leverage over Jairaj to make him confine himself to his house pretending to be a heart patient, for one month , so that the killer can rob the bank and put the blame on the hero Aakash( Goldie) . There ensues a battle of wits between the hero and the killer and some interesting incidents take place like a threat letter typed from a typewriter with a defective key, and a letter shabbily written by a blind woman. The killer also manages that Aakash comes across a number of red herring suspects like an unknown lover of the heroine, a retired army colonel, the perpetual sharabi Keshto Mukherji, and the philanderer showroom owner, Vibhuti Bhushan (played by Mohan Sherry). The break through is when the hero comes to know that the killer , in spite of knowing who the hero is, doesn't kill him though he gets more than one opportunities to do so. He realizes that the killer wants to use him for some purpose before eliminating him. The hero changes his strategy and is able to outwit the killer in the end. The best part of the movie is the divinely beautiful heroine Leena Chandravarkar, and the way the director has shown her courtship with the hero Goldie. It has been presented in an absolutely natural and decent manner, without any flamboyance or aggression on hero's part and without any coyness or nakhra( attitude) on heroine's part and without any nok jhonk or ladai jhagda( lovers' tiff) between them. Their first two meetings are when the hero is driving his car and the heroine wants to cross the road and they very politely signal- you go first. The heroine conveys that she is attracted to the hero by cooking the vegetables that he likes which she comes to know when he orders from a menu in a restaurant .Their relationship develops in a very smooth and mature fashion, and the way the hero makes a marriage proposal and the way the heroine accepts it is absolutely unique. It was totally devoid of the usual romantic trappings, yet it was absolutely engaging. Maybe this reflects Goldie's idea of an ideal woman, and the ideal format of man -woman relationship which should be based on respect, mutual understanding, and commitment. Highly recommended.
