Chor Machaye Shor (transl. The thief makes noise) is a 1974 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Ashok Roy and produced by N. N. Sippy. The film stars Shashi Kapoor, Mumtaz, Danny Denzongpa, Madan Puri, Asrani and Asit Sen. The music is by Ravindra Jain. Asrani earned a Filmfare nomination for best performance in a comic role, the only nomination for the film.^[2] The film became a "superhit" and earned the second spot at the box office in 1974.^[3] It was filmed at the Pratapgad fort in Maharashtra.

Because of the film's success, the film's producer (N. N. Sippy), cast (Shashi Kapoor, Danny Denzongpa, Asrani, Madan Puri) and music composer (Ravindra Jain) teamed up again for Fakira (1976), which also became a box office hit.

"Le Jayenge, Le Jayenge Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" is a very popular song from the film which Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) later adopted it as its film title.^[4] The film was remade in Telugu as Bhale Dongalu (1976 film)
