One of the first Indian films shot in Dubai.
Released on the same Friday as Souten, which turned out to be a runaway hit. Chor Police, on the other hand, was an average fare at the Box Office.
Both films Amjad Khan made, have faced problems, inspitre both were completed as planned. Adhura Aadmi wasn't released and Chor Police faced Censor problems.
Kalpana Iyer stated "I thoroughly enjoyed doing Chor Police (1983). Once again after Lootmaar, elaborate sets had been designed for the dances. The cabaret songs, Aaj Mera Dil Jhoom Jhoom Gaaye and Meri Jawani Hai Chandi Sona were wonderfully composed by Panchamda and sung by Asha Bhosle. P.L. Raj Masterji choreographed these songs for my role of a club dancer. In fact, Aaj Mera Dil Jhoom Jhoom was the mahurat shot for Chor Police.These songs remain special - before this most of my songs were shot at the discotheque Caesar's Palace. It was a standard joke those days, that they sign Vijay-Oscar, get a round trolley, and get Kalpana to dance and the number will be completed within one-and-a-half shifts. Lots of directors would come to me and say that their film was ready for release; they just needed to add a quick song. I'd jump at the offers since I never said no to work - such wonderful memories."
This technicaly slick film, was completed on schedule but delayed release because of censor problems. This was first release of Amjad Khan as director. Akhtar Ul Imaan wrote dialogues and Hrishikesh Mukherjee was the editor of this film but then he dissociated with this film. The delayed release affected this film and Amjad Khan. As filmmaker he did excellent work, only some flaws in the script.
