Life imitates art
When some ferocious dacoits surrendered to the police on the prompting of Loknayak Jai Prakash Narain sometime in the late 1970s, film critics and cine-goers were amazed to see how life was imitating art. Great showman Raj Kapoor had suggested this solution to tackle the menace of dacoits in Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai. Ironically, when the movie was released—in 1961— several critics had described the idea as "ridiculous".
A lot of people, the film tried to convey, were forced to remain dacoits as fear of harsh punishment constantly haunted them. The children of the dacoits, too, did not have any choice but to adopt this profession, as they feared that the society would not let them live with dignity. If the government assured the dacoits that they would be treated leniently, there was a chance to lessen the burden of the dacoits from society to a great extent, the film emphasised.
As if the idea of Raj Kapoor making a film on dacoits was not sufficient to make the observers ridicule it, Raj engaged Arjun Dev Rashk to write the story of the movie. The latter was known to be a writer of urbane and highly sophisticated themes.
Even Shanker (of Shanker-Jaikishan team) refused to do the film, saying a movie on the theme of dacoits had no scope for music. However, Raj, as always, had faith in himself. To convince Shanker, he hit upon an idea. It was a tradition in Raj’s camp to prepare a tune and then write a lyric for it. However, in this case, Raj asked Shailendra to first write the opening lines of the theme song of the movie. Then he invited Shanker and spoke the lines penned by Shailendra, "Hoton pe sachai rehti hai, jahaan dil mein safai rehti hai; hum us desh ke waasi hain, jis desh mein ganga behti hai". He asked the ace composer if he still believed that such poetic words, evoking the flow of the Ganga, did not offer any scope for music.
The two lines were enough to motivate Shanker to sign on the dotted line instantly. Come to think of it, the movie came to be a milestone in the annals of Hindi film music. A record number of five songs—Ho maine pyar kiya.., Mera naam Raju..., Hoton pe sachai rehti hai... Begani shadi mein Abdullah diwana... and O basanti pawan paagal—were played in the annual programme of Binaca Geetmala of Radio Ceylon in 1961 which was considered to be a barometer of the popularity of songs for 41 years.
The song Ho maine pyar kiya`85picturised on Padmini bathing under a waterfall had a mesmerising effect on viewers. The number also faced problems with the Censor Board when it objected to the line Dheere dheere aakhir band kali muskayee, saying it carried a vulgar meaning. Hasrat Jaipuri, who had penned the song, revealed in a TV interview that he was forced to change the words to Dheere dheere aakhir man ki kali muskayee.
Noted music director Anu Malik considers Raj Kapoor as a genius in the field of music. He says he has never been able to understand how he and his team must have produced the unique chorus sound appearing to come from quite a distance in the song Aa ab launt chalen in Jis Desh Mein`85
The movie took the country by storm. At a special premiere of the film at Calcutta, Raj Kapoor came to address the audience during the interval. When he introduced himself as Mera naam..., the whole house interrupted him, yelling Raju, the name of the character played by him in the movie. Padmini said she did not know Bengali, so she would not be able to speak there. However, the fans yelled, "No speech, just say Oi Oi". The expression, thanks to her unique style of uttering it, made her a darling of cine-goers.
Another "style" which cinegoers remember to date was of Pran who essayed the role of ferocious dacoit Raaka who constanly rubbed his fingers round his neck. Pran says the mannerism was meant to convey the fear of noose, which always exists in the mind of every dacoit. Incidentally, the wig and the moustache of the dacoit were "copy" of a real life dacoit who was killed in an encounter those days.
The movie, incidentally, won four Filmfare awards—for Best Film, Best Actor (Raj Kapoor), Best Art Director (M.R. Acharekar) and Best Editor (G.G. Mayekar).
Vyjayantimala had a relationship with my dad
Rishi Kapoor is livid that the yesteryear actress called her link-up with Raj Kapoor a publicity gimmick in her autobiography
In her autobiography titled Bonding... A Memoir, yesteryear actress Vyjayantimala Bali has denied her much-publicised relationship with the late filmmaker Raj Kapoor.
She has not only denied a relationship with him, but has also implied that it was a publicity gimmick fuelled by the PR machinery of the R K Films banner.
After Sunday Mid Day carried excerpts from her book (see box), the legendary filmmaker’s son Rishi Kapoor is furious with her comments.
An irritated Rishi says, “I respect her as a lady and a senior actress, but she is talking rubbish.
Ideally, I would not have commented on this but my father is no more and I am only speaking to defend his reputation.
I will not lie and say that my father didn’t have a relationship with her.
Of course, my dad had a relationship with Vyjayantimala. How can she deny it?”
He adds that the family has suffered greatly on her account. “I remember I was 11 years old when the relationship started, and my mother and the rest of us left our house and lived in Natraj Hotel for four-and-a-half months.
She caused torment to my family, so the least she can do now is own up. Instead, she’s lying and trying to malign my father’s name by saying it was a publicity stunt driven by him.”
Unable to come to terms with the actress’s turnaround, Rishi laughs, “Can you believe it? It’s absurd. My father never needed that kind of publicity.
The whole world knows that Vyjayanti was involved with him. Why is she denying it? This is the case of ‘nau sau chuhe kha ke billi haj ko chali’.”
The actor, who spoke to his siblings after reading excerpts in Sunday Mid Day, asks angrily, “Why just my father, she finally got married to Dr Bali, who was a married man.
His son Ratan Bali (from his first wife) is now with Air India and is possibly a year or two younger than me. I’m sure he suffered too when his father walked out on the family to marry the actress.”
Kapoor is in no mood to forgive such a distortion of facts. “It’s very nice to write your memoirs, but you should have the guts to be honest. You cannot deny facts.
Why did Vyjayantimala write an autobiography if it was going to be fiction? I would never have reacted to her book if she hadn’t stirred up a hornet’s nest by distorting facts,” he concludes.
Satyam Shivam Sunderam, Worth while understanding this movie
This movie has another message and that is that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and also god is ultimate.
Originally, Rajesh Khanna was to play the part that was played by Shashi Kapoor as he was considered to be the only actor who was and is capable of showing expressions in an appropriate manner as required by the director in front of a camera. But for some unknown reasons, the role was then offered to Shashi Kapoor. However the role that Zeenat Aman played as "Roopa," the disfigured woman, was offered only to her and no one else. The reason being is that she had a good figure and also as mentioned before - beautiful and lastly Rajji thought that she could handle this role very well. Lastly, this the film in which actress Padmini Kohlapure was introduced even though she was only a child - she played the role of "Roops" as a child. She later, off course went on to become a big time actress as have almost all Raj Kapoor protoge actresses. She also was the main actress in R.K.'s "Prem Rog."
This is one movie that has songs that are more like "bhajans" and does contain some beautiful photography, which is really worth while to watch. I would say that this was one of Raj Kapoor's most memorable films that he produced and directed. And off course, like all his films, it had a story to tell with a lot of meaning.
I havent seen it in a few years, deserves a re-watch :)
nice write up
i would like to add that this film raj saab planned with lata in mind and lata agreed initially but backed off later
this film did not do well at box office and i read somewhere on the net that raj saab blamed zeenat
but still its a beautifull movie and the rythum of song stayam shivam sundaram is out of this world
Zeenat tried her best to find recognition as a good actress but unfortunately never succeeded. She made one last attempt when she tried her best to impress Raj Kapoor. She played the true Indian woman who was more soul than body, according to Raj Kapoor in his film 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' but like Raj Kapoor himself confessed, 'people will come' to see Zeenat's body but will go back seeing the soul of my film. It is through her beautiful body that I am discovering the soul of the beauty of a woman.' Both Zeenat and 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' flopped at the box office which was a major setback for Raj and left Zeenat a heart broken actress.
Melody-master Raj Kapoor
By I.M. Soni
RAJ Kapoor was a melody-master par excellence. Lata Mangeshkar says, “One thing I have noticed through the years — that, no matter who be the music director of an RK film, in the end the music is given by Raj Kapoor himself.”
He was unlike others who engage a music director and the lyrics are set to tunes. He “composed” the tunes himself and stored them to be used later in his films as when the situation demanded.
O basanti pavan pagal... was shaped into a beautiful song in “Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai.” But it was first used in a snatch as background music in “Awaara” when Prithviraj Kapoor visits his son in jail and calls him “beta” for the first time.
Sun sahiba sun...was approved by Raj Kapoor for RK’s “Ajanta” as far back as 1952. The film did not go on the floor at all.
Raj had visualised the song on Nargis, but it was finally picturised on Mandakini decades later.
When Raj Kapoor launched on his career as a film-maker, he had wanted Shanker-Jaikishan for “Aag”, but Ram Ganguly was thrust on him by Prithviraj.
“Aag” launched Mukesh as Raj Kapoor’s ghost voice with Zinda hoon.... Mukesh become Raj’s “soul mate” in the latter’s own words.
Shanker-Jaikishan who evolved a fresh style of music for RK camp were guided and inspired by Raj himself. It was Raj Kapoor who fashioned Lata’s singing technique for the duo, according to Kishore Bhiwani.
The dream sequence in “Awaara” was shot for 23 hours at one stretch. The takes were repeated till Lata’s voice became limpid, a silver stream of sweet melody.
Raj Kapoor was always present at the time of song rendering. Chithiye dard firaaq waaliye... (“Heena”) had been composed and ready for Lata. Raj Kapoor came into the recording room. He changed the tune and the orchestration of Ravindra Jain. Chithiye... thus turned into a tune composed impromptu Raj Kapoor.
Laxmikant-Pyarelal who composed music for “Bobby” said they walked out as the music for the film was given by Raj himself. They had only to arrange it.
Raj Kapoor’s heart was not really in the “Mera Naam Joker” songs sans Lata for reason which may not be stated here. The songs did not come from Raj Kapoor’s heart. The voice was missing. The vision (Nargis)had already vanished.
Lata says in the book named after her: “Very few film makers in our industry have such a grounding in music. He could play the piano, the tabla and the flute... The opening lines of the songs in his films were written by him... and even some of the tunes were composed by him, not entire songs, but the opening lines.”
The music master is gone. Now his ever-haunting legacy of songs will endure like the RK emblem — the lover with a violin in his hand
Discuss about Neel Kamal Movie (From the Forum)
Did you see to the girl that play Ganga in her young age I think she the same girl that play on Boot Pulish.
I don't find her on the cast list but it stile can be her
while he was working there he became a clapper boy
kidar was shooting a scene of a movie where the king is dying but he could not get it right for 2 days because he wanted to shoot the sunset with king dying now the 3rd day everything was perfect the shot was ready the clapper boy was missing because he was combing his hair he rushed to the set and clapped but unfortunately the beard got stuck in his claps and came off everybody on the set started laughing which made kidar crazy and he slapped raj with great anger
kidar remembers he could not sleep that night
next day when he came to studios to his amazment raj was on duty
he called him in his office and saw marks of his slap still on this face
in regret he just offered him a role of hero in his next movie neel kamal
after reading all this if you watch the movie you will know what you are looking at
"That is how I began my career, as the sixth or seventh assistant, trolley-puller, clapper-boy, somewhere in the laboratory picking up odd shots and in the editing department looking at the use of the gamma plus (the solution uses for editing) - that gave me a lot of basic training about the fundamentals of cinema. In 1944, Mr Kidar Sharma gave me my first lead as an actor in his film Neel Kamal. I had been his junior-most assistant for three years. One of my tasks was to give the clap before every shot. " (Raj Kapoor)
The movie show the begin of Raj Kapoor Career of Actor what he cell at an accident But Raj Never stop thing about his dream. He same the money from his Acting from his Company.
There same thing that Only His Big Fans can fell on this movie and this is the way of his act Raj doing great work in here the true that this film woes shoot after "Dil Ki Rani". It look like Raj woes waiting to this Drama movie. He woes so connect to the Drama.
I don't know way but I Stile think that there same thing missing in this movie. The Story also good but same thing stile missing.
it feels that if different scenes are collected put in a box give it a good shuffle and thats it
i also felt that film maker was in a hurry in making the movie
Raj Kapoor's familiarity in China Revealed
While she was attending an award function a senior citizen approached her and enquired about screening of Indian film stars or songs would be a part of the festival she answered in negative, the elderly person recounted with her by saying that he grown up listening to the songs of Raj Kapoor's film 'Awara'.
The minister was surprised to hear such words since it is restricted to the knowledge that RK was familiar with Russia alone.
Raj Kapoor through his films even penetrated beyond so far known boundaries, as it reveals by the event.
But RK once told during the visit to USSR, "My popularity in Russia is a phenomenon I can't explain myself, except that my films Awara and Shree 420 came at an opportune moment, when the Russian people were changing themselves culturally. In these films they saw the spirit of the Indian youth in revolt and they loved him, as he became the symbol of their own spirit. This identity with the Indian youth that I portrayed drew us closer; our friendship has been a long-standing one. Even today I get a warm welcome from them."
This version seems to be applicable to all regimes where ever there is a change and transformation happens as China also experienced such moments in the post-Mao lead revolution.
Why Turkey still loves Raj Kapoor?
Unlike other Muslim countries including Egypt, Morocco and neighboring Syria, Turkey has remained cold to Bollywood. Once upon a time, and that was long, long time Raj Kapoor's Awara had become a smash hit in Turkey. Why Hindi films slipped off Turkey's cultural radar in the years since remains a mystery.
Imagine our surprise, then, when a group of eight women in the bustling city of Antalya, after confirming that my wife and I were indeed from India, began singing the title song from Raj Kapoor's Awara. They wanted to know if we were staying longer in Antalya, and if we had by any chance DVDs of Indian films. "We also love Mithun Chakraborty," one of them said.
The women, almost all in their 40s, were from Russia, and had settled down in Turkey along with their families. "We like everything here, including the food and climate," one of them said. "And there is very little crime. But we miss Indian films."
Antalya, which gets over a million visitors a year from Germany, has also begun witnessing an influx of newly rich Russians. There are an estimated 50,000 Russian and 80,000 German families settled in Antalya, which has nearly one million citizens.
Last year, some 200,000 visitors from Russia and the former Soviet countries visited Antalya, one of the prettiest and cleanest cities in Turkey, known not only for its archaeological sites but also for organic farms and excellent meat products. In fact, the fondness of Russians for Antalya and a few other Turkish cities was recently a page one story in The New York Times.
As a spinoff effect, cab drivers, tour guides, hotel managers and jewellery merchants, who speak English and German to varying degrees, have now begun speaking in Russian, too.
Raj Kapoor made yet another appearance in another unlikely place -- the ruins of Ephesus. The guide had finished showing us the Roman ruins and cursing the British for stealing many of the pillars and busts and taking them to London over 100 years ago. He then showed us the hill where Mary, mother of Jesus, and John, one of the apostles, are said to have settled down -- which, incidentally, is local belief based on very little actual evidence.
A young woman discusses the evidence, or lack thereof, of this legend with the guide, while the nearly 20 people in our group listen in rapt attention. Suddenly, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder. A man in his early 40s asked me if I was from India. He then took me off to one side, away from the theological discussion, and recited a few lines in chaste Hindustani.
He then started singing one of the most famous songs from Raj Kapoor's Awara: Dam Bhar Jo Udhar Mu Nah Phera. I tell him that I had the impression people in Turkey didn't care much for Hindi films -- and he likely wasn't even born when Awara was released.
He explains that his father was crazy about the film, and had managed to get a DVD about 15 years ago, from England. "He made us watch the film every week," the man, a cab driver, said. "I think I must have seen it more than 50 times.'
He was surprised to find so many 'Turkish' words, including duniya, in the film. He prided himself on being a bit of a linguist, and pointed out how words from various languages have made into India.
"I think I know at least 100 Turkish words," I tell him. He demands that I demonstrate. With an eye on the guide, who is getting ready to take us to the next site, I reel off the words: Vatan, kanun, hafta, hawa, subji (subze in Turkish), kitab, sharab (sharap, locally).
Masha Allah, I add, pointing at the bright sky that, just a few minutes ago, was dark and gloomy. "You are a Turk or what?!" the man laughs.

Lata Mangeshkar was the inspiration behind Raj Kapoor’s Satyam Shivam Sundaram and he wanted to cast her in the 1978 R K Banner film, reveals Raj Kapoor’s daughter Ritu Nanda in her latest book.
“I visualised the story of a man falling for a woman with an ordinary countenance but a golden voice and wanted to cast Lata Mangeshkar in the role,” the book quotes Raj Kapoor as saying.
“I visualised the story of a man falling for a woman with an an ordinary countenance but a golden voice and wanted to cast Lata Mangeshkar in the role,” Ritu Nanda quotes Raj Kapoor as saying.He believed that love and faith were contingent on purity of any relationship not on beauty. The book Raj Kapoor further says that Lata who had initially agreed to act in the film later declined the offer.
The book, which is a Hindi version of 2002 published book Raj Kapoor Speaks, released recently at a function held in the capital.
The book talks at length about Raj Kapoor’s relationships with his female co-stars particularly his bonding and later estrangement with Nargis. “Raj Kapoor’s egoistic tendencies and the futility of the future of their relationship made the ending of the relationship inevitable,” believes the author.
Raj Kapoor later recalled, accepting Mother India was probably the toughest decision for Nargis. She had to decide whether to continue a relationship with Raj Kapoor without any future or to create a new life for her by leaving R K Studio, Ritu says.
Although Raj Kapoor never defined their relationship, he once said, “We understood each other. I cannot express my feelings towards her. No, it was not love, although I liked her very much. Probably it was a great emotional bonding of two great artists.”
Nargis inspired Raj Kapoor in many ways. He met her when he was working on his first movie Aag. Describing his reaction, Raj Kapoor said that Nargis was a ‘fairy’ and later used this very scene in his movie Bobby.
It is quite clear that despite all the hardships that they faced, their respect for each other was mutual. Even the RK logo is somehow inspired by the legendary actress. Inspired by a still from his second movie Barsaat in this famous scene Raj Kapoor is holding Nargis in his one hand and a violin in the second.
This exalted image of love, beauty and music became the logo and identity of RK Studio. Perhaps the greatest irony of the showman’s life was that his best movies flopped badly on box office and pushed him into great financial troubles.
He could never get over with the failure of Mera Naam Joker and Jagte Raho,(his last movie with Nargis). These movies remained very dear to him. Raj Kapoor felt that these movies were ahead of their times and could not appeal to the public at that time.
Raj Kapoor’s love for the common public was represented in his movies. He said, “From my very first movie, I have played ordinary characters. I never tried to play the role of a blue eyed handsome young man in my movies.”
Raj Kapoor believed that the audience had to identify with whatever was happening on the screen. It was his measure of making the right movie. “Never make anything in which you have no faith… I had the offer of some great movies which had all the material to be successful but I did not make them because they failed to inspire me.”
Raj Kapoor, who has often been criticised for exploiting the nubile charms of his leading ladies had a very liberal view on presenting women, the book says.
Questioning this criticism he once said, “We are shocked to see nudity, we need to get mature. I have always respected women but don’t understand why I am accused of exploiting them. Fellini’s nude woman is considered Art but when I show a woman’s beauty on screen, then it is called exploitation.”
Commenting upon his “miraculous popularity” in Soviet Union, the showman believes that the Russians fresh from a mass revolution identified with his ordinary hopeful heros.
“My miraculous popularity in Russia has often left me wondering…Probably it had to do with the fact that Awara and Shree 420 were released there at a time when they were going through a great cultural revolution. My heroes became a symbol of their own struggles and aspirations,” the book says.
Cinema was Raj Kapoor’s life, his soul and the reason of his very existence. They signified the struggle and dreams of a nascent nation in search of a new identity.
His movies represent eternal hope. In his own words, “When I die bring my body to my studio. It is quite possible that I may wake up amid their lights shouting Action…Action”.

Dear visitor,
about a month ago we decided to start a project, or a journey if you like, that has come from our dreams and our passion.
Among the many forums out there, we thought there was something important missing, a specific, unique place devoted to the only true Showman of Indian Cinema: Raj Kapoor.
Talking about him is no easy task, but it is common knowledge how deep his influence in Hindi cinema is.
Be it visuals, storytelling or music, many directors that have come afterwards have taken inspiration from Raj Kapoor’s work; Satyajit Ray describes Raj Kapoor in the following way:
“As for his contribution to Indian Cinema, I think he was an extremely good craftsman and a master showman”
The aim of this forum is to aknowledge and celebrate the great creativity of Raj Kapoor, his romantic gaze, his humanist and compassionate closeness to the common people, the sensitive and vulnerable heart of the clown that he was.
This forum wants to give a chance to all Raj Kapoor’s fans to experience him once again through unique and exclusive features about his films, included the less known and hard to find.
His songs, those that are most famous and the ones you’ve never had the chance to hear, instrumental music, exclusive pictures and reliable information about him, his co workers, heroines, his biographer and more.

Mini Biography
Raj Kapoor was the son of well-known Indian actor Prithviraj Kapoor, who acted both in film and on stage. After apprenticing in the Bollywood production studios of the 1940's, at 24 years of age Raj Kapoor produced, directed and acted in Aag (1948), with his new company, RK Films. His next production, Barsaat (1949), was a smash hit. In 1951, he also produced, directed and starred in Awaara (1951), which was another megahit, and costarred Nargis, who had appeared in Aag and Barsaat. Awaara also gained popular acclaim in Russia, where the movie and songs were dubbed into Russian. The theme song, Awaara Hoon, was popular in the East for many years. Kapoor has been dubbed "a great showman," and a filmmaker in the purest Romantic tradition, as he strove to entertain as well as address social themes close to his heart. Awaara dealt with the question of what forms an individual's moral grounding, ("nurture or nature") while incorporating comedy and stirring love scenes; in Shree 420 (1955) he addressed issues of poverty, unemployment and national pride in the new Indian state at the same time maintaining the audience's interest in the romantic plot. While never revolutionary in tone, many of his films explore the ability of the individual to overcome economic and environmental injustice while maintaining his/her innocence and integrity. He is quoted as believing that the individual's struggles ultimately lead to the desire for love, to care and be cared for. This is consistent with his admiration of Charles Chaplin, and Kapoor's own "tramp" (Awaara, Shree 420, Mera Naam Joker (1970) is modeled somewhat on his mentor, though with a definite individual flair.
His films demonstrate an understanding of music and direction that continue to influence Bollywood filmmaking today. Also a musician, his understanding of the musical feel of his movies gives them a storytelling fluidity equal to that of the best American movie musicals. He surrounded himself with the foremost talents in filmmaking, acting, writing (Kwaja Ahmad Abbas' ), music composition (Jaikishan Dayabhai Pankal, 'Shankarsinh Raguwanshi' ), and playback singers, including Mukesh, 'Mohamed Rafi' , and Lata Mangeshkar. Kapoor continued to make films of varying critical and popular success up until his death in 1988, and apparently considered Mera Naam Joker his personal favorite. He is still a well-known name not only in India, but in the Middle East, SE Asia, and Eastern Europe. His descendants have attempted to continue the RK Films banner.
