Shammi Kapoor - His Movies & His Songs

Shammi Kappor has been in the movie industry for a very very long time. He first appeared in 1953 in "Thokar" when he was 22. Since then he acted in over 130 movies. Though he struggled initially as an actor, after marrying another actress (Geetabali), his life changed forever under her able guidance. From a commercial also ran to he became a sought after atcor.

I am starting this new series on Shammi. I have many of his movies in CDs. I am missing some of them from his early years, and may be one or two from the later years. I would like to share these songs with you in coming months and invite the members to share any missing songs to complete the albums.

To start with here is the part 1 of his filmography ...

Chor Bazar (1954)

This movie, "Chor Bazar (1954)", is another one of the series of movies that met the same fate as other earlier efforts of Shammi. He had tough early going.

Sardar Malik provided the tunes for this movie. I happen to have only three songs from it. There are at least three other songs that are missing. These are shown in red italics in the following table. There may be others missing too. If any one of our members have better knowledge about these songs and have the songs, please share with us.

Now for details of the songs of "Chor Bazar (1954)" and the songs themselves ...

Swarapriya,

Thanks a lot for the Chor Bazaar songs.
One song, 'Dar-dar ki tokre hain' is often associated with Hoor-e-Arab movie.

I don't know the details. It's possible, it was recorded for Chor Bazaar and used in Hoor-e-Arab. Senior members may please clarify.
