0 100 – Celebrating the Centenary of the Greatest Showman” – a grand festival of 10 milestone Raj Kapoor films screening in 40 cities and 135 cinemas across the country opens today!
Continuing our commitment to bringing classic cinema back to the big screen, I am so happy that Film Heritage Foundation has joined hands with R.K. Films to keep the legacy of Raj Kapoor alive and give audiences all over India an opportunity to revisit the films of an artist who lived for cinema and whose films gave voice to the common man.
Even today Awara is a film that is etched in my mind. Talking about Rajji’s incredible showmanship, the way he envisioned the dream sequence in the film had never been seen before. You are amazed by his fantastical imagination that visualized the surreal setting, the ethereal Nargisji emerging through thick clouds of smoke, Rajji surrounded by demonic figures and burning fires – there is a powerful, mystical symbolism in the dream sequence, and that is my favourite.
Don’t miss the opportunity to watch these Raj Kapoor classics in a cinema near you from December 13 – 15!!
I remember my uncle Vimal Kant Jivanlal Bhojak was working with Prithvi Raj Kapoor in Prithvi theatre…he used to tell me Kapoor family stories time to time.It was really great period..
Raj Kapoor….Show must go on.
