Raj Kapoor: The Storyteller
Raj Kapoor is considered the Showman of Bollywood and rightfully
so. The man is a master at telling stories, and has done some of the most loved
characters in the history of Indian Cinema. His works like ‘Awara’, ‘Mera Naam Joker’
and ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ are pivotal for cinema goers. Anyone who wishes to
be a cinema performer or be behind the camera loves to see his movies.
As he celebrates his birthday, this 14th of December,
we tell you about 3 of his most amazing films:
1) Mera Naam Joker
This has to be by far the biggest and most important film in his life. The film is considered way ahead of its time by amid cinema goers and critics alike and focuses on the life and journey of not just the clown but also explains the aspects of life.
2) Awara
Considered as a legendary film ‘Awara’ is a cinematic treat
for all. The story and the representation of characters is considered as a
learning experience for directors and storytellers. If you are willing to watch
a story that will keep you on the edge of your seats then Awara is a must
watch.
3) Shree 420
The movie is written by legendary Khwaja Ahmad Abbas and stars Raj Kapoor and Nargis Dutt in pivotal roles. Whether you are a cinema fan or not, you can never forget the song,’Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua’ which is considered the best love song for ages. As the two main actors walk down the road holding an umbrella and singing these lovely lines, you can just feel the sheer love between them and also feel every word of the song as absolutely real.
While there are way too many movies that can be talked about, and way too many accolades of the actor, writer, director and other gamut of functions, Raj Kapoor is the true representation of Indian Cinema, and we wish the great performer a Happy Birthday.
