Dekh Kabira Roya is a 1957 romantic comedy film, directed by Amiya Chakravarty.

The tag line in the title says 'The truth is stranger than fiction. Comedy is exaggeration of truth'.

This Bollywood classic is a farcical comedy about the vicissitudes of modern love. Mohan (Anoop Kumar), Pradeep (Daljit), and Ranjeet (Jawahar Kaul) are three struggling artists—singer, painter, and writer, respectively—who meet at Janta coffee house for the first time . Romantic hijinks ensue when the trio meet three lovely girls, Geeta (Ameeta), Rekha (Anita Guha), and Kalpana (Shubha Khote), with very specific ideas about art and love.^[1] The three male friends decide to help each other out by using their talents, and utter and hilarious chaos reigns.^[2]

• Probably the only movie in which three songs are played in continuation - 'Meri Veena tum bin roye', 'Ashqon se teri hamne' and 'Tu pyar kare ya thukraye' in sequence (in that order) picturized on three actresses. There are pieces of 'Meri veena..' between the other two songs and after the last song.
• Sunder who plays the waiter, hums the song 'Ae mere dil kahin aur chal' from 1952 movie 'Daag' , while resolving the misunderstanding at the end.
