Three by Raj Kapoor

One of the greatest showmen the cinema has ever seen, actor, producer, and director Raj Kapoor became a Bollywood icon thanks to his ability to blend comedy, pathos, and musical spectacle into rousing, deliriously entertaining underdog tales that spoke to the hopes and dreams of a newly independent India. This selection of classics from Kapoor’s golden period—including his blockbuster international sensation Awaara —gave Indian filmgoers a lovably Chaplinesque everyman hero of their own, one whose appeal remains as fresh and captivating as ever.
