Chamkee is a 1952 Indian Hindi-language film directed by J. K. Nanda. It stars Ragini, Shekhar, and Roopmala; and features a soundtrack composed by Manna Dey.
The film, described as a story of mistaken identity, featured Shekhar in a dual role with contrasting personalities. A contemporary review by filmindia's Baburao Patel was critical of the plot and direction, but praised the performances of Shekhar and Roopmala.
Chamkee premiered at Liberty Theatre, Bombay, on 8 February 1952. Its music was reported to be popular with audiences.
