Charandas Chor (Charandas the Thief) is a 1975 children's film by noted director Shyam Benegal, based on the famous play by Habib Tanvir, which itself was an adaptation of a classical Rajasthani folktale by Vijaydan Detha. The lyrics of the film were also by Habib Tanvir.

The film stars Smita Patil, Lalu Ram, Madanlal, and Habib Tanvir.


Synopsis:

Charandas the thief, after swearing to always tell the truth is adamant in his resolve to follow it. Before committing any theft he tells his victims of his true motives. He scolds his loyal partner Buddhu whenever he lies. In the course of his profession as a thief, he encounters rulers and artists, businessmen and religious gurus, each of whom ironically pale before the honesty of Charandas – the thief. Told with rare Chaplinsque humour and simplicity, this masterpiece written by the legendary Habib Tanvir and Shama Zaidi and directed by auteur Shyam Benegal, is a laugh-a-riot fun for the young and old alike and tacitly satirizes society by pitting an honest thief against dishonest citizens.
