Cult Clip: Jewel Thief (1967)

This great musical number is from the Bollywood classic Jewel Thief (1967) and features the lovely Helen (vocals by Asha Bhosle) performing one of her show stopping songs from the movie.

The Jewel Thief was directed by Vijay Anand and stars Dev Anand as Vinay. When Vinay is mistaken for a daring jewel thief who's terrorizing Bombay, his developing romance with the police commissioner's daughter Anju (Tanuja) is cut short. Vinay must help find the real jewel thief and prove his innocence to win back Anju, but it's not an easy task.

This great Bollywood movie is beautifully shot by Vijay Anand and features lots of memorable musical numbers written by composer Rahul Dev Burman. The movie is available from Eros on a Region-0 (all region) NTSC DVD, but the DVD occasionally goes out of print and can be hard to find. You can currently find used copies of the DVD selling cheaply at Amazon.
