Chhalia is a 1960 Hindi film. Directed by Manmohan Desai it stars Raj Kapoor, Nutan, Pran, Rehman and Shobhna Samarth. Raj Kapoor plays his stereotyped "simple guy with a heart of gold" role yet again in this film. Laxmikant Pyarelal were assistant music directors in this film. They would go on to be music directors for most of Manmohan Desai's films. The film is loosely based on the story "White Nights" written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, but is focused on the issue of estranged wives and children in the aftermath of partition. [1] [2]

Chhalia was shot on black-and-white film. The film has some excellent songs such as "Chhalia mere naam", and "Teri Raahon mein khaden hain dil thaam ke".

This film is not to be confused with another film, also titled Chhalia (1973), but unrelated to the 1960 film. The 1973 film was shot in colour, and it stars Nanda, Navin Nischol, and Shatrughan Sinha. It was directed by Mukul Dutt, and music was by R.D. Burman.
