It's impossible to remake 'Awara': Randhir Kapoor
Indo Asian News Service
ians.in
Mumbai, Dec 13 (IANS) Randhir Kapoor says he is not interested in remaking his father Raj Kapoor's 1951 classic 'Awara' as it would be impossible to find actors of the same calibre that the film's original cast had.
'Many people came to me and my brothers (Rishi and Rajiv) and asked why don't we remake 'Awara'. I told them that it is absolutely impossible to imitate the classic 'Awara' which is loved so much till today,' Randhir told reporters at the launch of the book 'The Dialogue of Awara; Raj Kapoor's Immortal Classic'.
Written by author-documentary filmmaker Nasreen Munni Kabir, the book was released Saturday, two days before the 85th birth anniversary of legendary Raj Kapoor.
'Where will I get Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Nargisji and where will I get that innocent looking Shashi Kapoor? I would be making a fool of myself by trying to imitate the film because I won't have actors of that calibre again, even if I copy it frame by frame,' he added.
Raj Kapoor was only 27 when he made 'Awara'. Released in 1951, it became one of the most successful films in his career.
'The Dialogue of Awara...' has the original story, dialogues and screenplay along with the screen shots of the movie.
'When Nasreen Munni Kabir approached me with the idea to transform this great film into a book, I got very excited as it's one of my favourite films ever. I discussed it with my brothers and they were also very keen to bring this film in book form for today's generation to see, read and understand what 'Awara' was all about,' said Randhir.
Thanking the Kapoor family, Kabir said: 'I'm extremely thankful to the Kapoor family. Without their support this wouldn't have been possible. It's by continuously finding new ways to talk about iconic films, we can keep them alive. A book is a way of keeping record of a film in a different way.'
Rishi Kapoor was also present at the event.

Wednesday, July 15, 2009
The movie Bewafa it is after all a Movie with good story and biggest stars. The movie talking about a woman cell Roopa. That woes pain from her drunk grandfather that woes hit her every time she back home with out money.
All the neighborhood laugh about her and ridicule on her. But when the real thing happened every one get quiet and have mercy on Roopa.
Roopa Meet a man name Raj that he also live in the same neighborhood. Raj help her to get money for her drunk grandfather every day with out asking pay back.
Until one day when raj woes not in his home Roopa Grand Father throw her out from the house.
Roopa woes so sad about her life she don’t like her live and she try to suicide but then she think to her self first try to live your life.
Roope walk away she don’t know where she going but she keep going.
Then she meet an artist not a big artist but all his draw woes fulling in Felling. When he see Roopa Sleeping next the street Lamp he start drawing her with out stop even for a minute. When Roopa wake up she woes see the artist and scream on him. After that Roopa know that this artist only wont to draw her he wont her to help him to finish the drawing by sit in the same pust. Roopa agree.
The Artist Ashok take Roopa to his studio there the both create many Drawing. Drawing of Pain, sadness, Happiness, Rich, Poor and moor
After all this years all this drawing get to be famous and the both get to be the most rich people.
The love woes built between Ashok and Roopa and the Both decide to Marry soon.
Then Raj back to Roopa Life and Roopa Get in Love With Raj. The Both woes Speend long time together. Ashok Fell same thing not ok abot Raj. He also woes Hit by Roopa Because she woes go out with Raj But he woes also fell same thing not ok about him.
In the End Roopa wind out that Raj woes get into an argument with his frind that ask for him to stole Roope jewelry and Ashok He is the one that love her.
Raj woes Kill by is friend after he don’t bring his to his friend the jewelry of Roopa. When Roopa come back home to Ashok she find him dead after he suicide. After roopa see Ashok die she get crazy and all her drawing that woes set on the walls woes blame her that she kill Ashok. In the end Roopa also die.
The movie Bewafa is a complicated movie. It build by good story and good stars ones of the biggest and the popular stars.but the way that it woes directed make the movie to a confused movie.
Why Raj help her in the beginner and when she get rich he wont to stole from her? Why ashok don’t tell her that he love her and where goes the marriage Idea?
This wily weird.
Confused Movie
I say the movie 6 time until now and it stile look to me a confused movie. All the charcthers in this movie are so darkness. Ever y characters start from poor or failure. Nargis Character Roopa woes wily same to the audience situation. In the beginner she have a drunk and after he get out from the house she thinking to start his life. Then when she get two mans in her life her character get same to the audience situation. She don’t know who she should choose. The Handsome man that help her with her grandfather or Ashok the man with the good heart that help her to to be successful. Every thing Confused.
Nargis Character get to many conflict in this movie. But one thing wily not sound to me ok.
Raj Kapoor Character. Raj Always try to hint to Roopa that he is not nice person like she think he is. Like the part with the birds we can know that Raj is a man that live alone and after you see all the movie you can know that why.
But I also don’t know if her wily love Roopa his character so darkness wily so darkness. In this movie I fell like Raj have two face. But I sure there woes a love in at.
Moor Points that make me nerves about this movie. How long Ashok take for tell to Roopa that he love her. What about the end? Did Roopa wily die in the end?
Same good Point on the movie
I love the story of this movie but I don’t like how the script it woes write it mess every thing up. Raj kapoor Character Kind change from the other character that he play. This show that bad people also have heart even they need to do same thing to they lover. His character change mask many time what make the audience not know if he is the good or the bad one.
The drawing that woes draw for this movie are amazing I love them all but the most amazing Draw woes the last one of Raj and Roopa and Ashok leave the house with pain in his heart. This draw show the real felling of Ashok that he woes hide all the movie.
And how we forget the dance part of Raj kapoor we cant forget this funny part so funny but also so curious.
The song that use on this movies also make in the same level that the movie is. The three first song are happy but then they turn to be sad same to the movie. I Just like 3 song from this movie
My point to this movie is 7/10
The true I Woes like to change the end of the movie.

One Special Movie.
Thursday, April 9, 2009
Barsaat is one of the must different movie that Raj Kapoor Directed, even different then his other movie that he directed. The Music is so classic and all the songs get to be big hits. The movie also gets Award as the Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks and lading to the First Place. The best work of Shankar-Jaikishan, Hasrat Jaipuri, Shailendra, Ramesh Shastri & Jalal Mahilabadi and Lata Mangeshkar with her amazing voice.
Raj kapoor add to this movie many emotions.
Two friend, that go to vacations on they car. Two friend but so different from each others. Pran (Raj kapoor) fell in love with a poor girl that not learns noting about the life. Pran woes love her so when she woes in his arm he woes Cry and answer in Different way….:
“There no life without laughter and Tears. These Joys and sorrows for the design of love. Without tears real love doesn’t exist.
Smiling Flowers, Crying dew drops the combination of beauty and love. Is beautiful that happened when you in love. That is why love is measured not in terms of time but in terms of longing.”
What make Raj Kapoor Say same thing like that?
And why after She missing and He think she diet. His friend takes him for a woman. He doesn’t like it but he touches the woman feet why?
Human Values
Like Ritu Nanda write in her books Raj kapoor Woes Maybe young on 23 years old but in his eyes that he sees already every thing and Know many things that people like us don’t learn in 23 Years old.
The movie Barsaat make with many Emotions of Love.
About the part that Raj kapoor answer to Nargis after she see him cry. It the true about the life. Every one cry or laugh in his life we always have bad moments in our life and also bad.
True Love wily can’t exist with out tears. If you well look around you see many people that Cry when they in love. In English movie when man tell a woman that he love her and she don’t know this she smile but with tears in the eyes. When same one asks a woman to marry him she smile and have tears in the same time. When the man go and leave the woman back in home and go to army they cry and smile and when he be back and they hug they again and cry again this time from happiness. This in are life in the same screen Raj Kapoor not cry because she sing her song. Like he say Love don’t have time it just happened like that. Before Raj Kapoor Cry he smile to Nargis in the beginning and then a minute latter he get sad Same time the tears comes with out you know this. This what happened when you love.
Even it happened to me when I hear same song that I wily love and it sound so nice to my hears I don’t know how because I start to cry then. I even don’t know why but this is the real way of love.
Woman Honors.
Like I Know Raj Kapoor always give honors to Woman. He says the woman is the person that bring us to life and give us life with out we woes can’t keep our generation.
Human Values.
The friend takes him to same woman that seal love. He don’t like at and don’t won't to go in and even touch her. Then he hear a baby cry the woman go to the room and take the kids in her Hand he ask her about his father and she say that he don’t know that he have a child. He sees how much the kid sick and leave to her same money and touch her like and leave.
Raj kapoor try to show the way of the woman that seal they love for the sick of They kids The touching Legs Mean:
Like I Say before Raj Kapoor woes give honor to the woman. That she woes seal her lover for her sick kids. Because this Raj kapoor Touch her Legs. In India you give people honor by touching they legs. After he understands why she does at he gives her honor.
Then when He Back to his friend He tells him that she a mother and his friend ask why? He answer “Not a woman love she going to sold but a mother love. You don’t understand you are modern thinking”
This Also the true about our life and same of them stile exist. Same woman work for they family in this way.
This true what Raj say to the his friend same People know about that and same people know that this exist but they close they eyes.
This movie have a lot Human Values many emotions Even the Songs about the true about the life in our life and the music give at moor design of Love and emotions.
This movie is not a film maker It emotions it human Values.
That why no one can Remake this movie and even can get to the way of Raj kapoor Making movies.
Making Films is something else. Being human is something else.
When you mix it that Our Raj Kapoor.

Raj kapoor add to this movie many emotions.
Two friend, that go to vacations on they car. Two friend but so different from each others. Pran (Raj kapoor) fell in love with a poor girl that not learns noting about the life. Pran woes love her so when she woes in his arm he woes Cry and answer in Different way….:
“There no life without laughter and Tears. These Joys and sorrows for the design of love. Without tears real love doesn’t exist.
Smiling Flowers, Crying dew drops the combination of beauty and love. Is beautiful that happened when you in love. That is why love is measured not in terms of time but in terms of longing.”
What make Raj Kapoor Say same thing like that?
And why after She missing and He think she diet. His friend takes him for a woman. He doesn’t like it but he touches the woman feet why?
Human Values
Like Ritu Nanda write in her books Raj kapoor Woes Maybe young on 23 years old but in his eyes that he sees already every thing and Know many things that people like us don’t learn in 23 Years old.

This in are life in the same screen Raj Kapoor not cry because she sing her song. Like he say Love don’t have time it just happened like that. Before Raj Kapoor Cry he smile to Nargis in the beginning and then a minute latter he get sad Same time the tears comes with out you know this. This what happened when you love.
Even it happened to me when I hear same song that I wily love and it sound so nice to my hears I don’t know how because I start to cry then. I even don’t know why but this is the real way of love.
Woman Honors.
Like I Know Raj Kapoor always give honors to Woman. He says the woman is the person that bring us to life and give us life with out we woes can’t keep our generation.

The friend takes him to same woman that seal love. He don’t like at and don’t won't to go in and even touch her.

When gopal come to her it woes so lattes She already woes dead.
My Preview about the movie.
Barsaat is one of Raj Kapoor movie that I wily like.
Barsaat is a Romantic and touching movies about love with a romantic Shooting Place.
Raj Kapoor and Nargis look so young in this movie and so lovely we can fell the beginning of there love story.
This movie includes many Amazing Background music with amazing Soundtrack songs. Amazing Star cast and must best Jodi Raj Kapoor and Nargis Dutt in the beginning way with there company Rk.
Best action of Raj Kapoor and Nargis even Prem Nath woes give an amazing preferment’s.
In this movie also Raj woes use the Dark Effect what make the movie moor Romantic.
There one part in the movie that looks interesting to me is the part when Resma (Nargis) Clean the Dishes and Pran play the violin. Nargis move her hair from her eyes in the way that She woes move her hair with the hands when Raj Kapoor First meets her.
The best part in the movie is the part when Nargis fold in Raj kapoor hands in the way like the Violin. I know it also woes the best part for Raj Kapoor After all He make this screen to be is Company Icon.
Moor best thing in the movie is the English song that Raj Kapoor Play on the Violin.
Today it rains her with lighting. I looking in the windows and see the rain and the light’s. I remember the movie and start to understand how the film woes connect to the Rain. When Rain is coming, People Name at the Romantic time. And same time when you sad like in the movie the Rain can be also you love tears.
My Rate for this movie 10/10 Mine blowing

Radhu Karmakar
"When Nargis left R. K. Films in 1956, after her cameo in Jagte Raho, Raj Kapoor was devastated. He could not get over the fact that Nargis had indeed left him for good. He was tormented and had the appearance of a man who had lost his soul, as indeed he had. It was Nargis who was his inspiration from Aag onwards and he was artistically, a lonely man without moorings..."
These are some excerpts from the autobiographical book of Radhu Karmakar, the great camera artiste of Raj Kapoor. This book "Radhu Karmakar - The Painter of Lights" is the story, in his own words, of a very talented and self-effacing person who was a genius behind the camera. Radhu Karmakar desired neither fame nor fortune, and his ultimate ambition in life was to make a perfect film like Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane", says his wife Bani Karmakar.
Long dark path
Radhu started his film career with "Kismat ki Dhani" (1945) which was followed by "Milan" (1946, director Nitin Bose), and other super hits like "Jis Desh Mein Ganga Bahti Hai" (1958, Radhu Karmakar), "Mera Naam Joker" (1965, RK). "Param Vir Chakra", completed in 1995, was has last film.
Radhu has painstakingly studied the art of different cinematographers. From this book, we come to know that Radhu travelled a long dark path to attain the light of success. His years of struggle continued from 1931 to 1938. "I struggled a lot under stress," he writes.This interesting book opens the doors of nostalgia and re-explores the pretty as well as bitter side of the film industry. We come across the familiar stories of Bombay Talkies, Devika Rani and Ashok Kumar but in a different perspective. Since Radhu was a creative light and camera artiste, he had a close view of great personalities. This book moves in phases. Part one comprises Flash Back (1896-1960) and then it proceeds from the golden age to the Nargis era and finally fades out with Raj Kapoor.

ok first some off screen stuff the begining
The film was ready to go on the floors and Raj was determined to get himself the best studio in town. Famous Studio in Mumbai’s central suburb, Mahalaxmi, had been highly recommended to him. He’d heard that Jaddan Bai was at Famous Studio where her son Akhtar Hussain was shooting Romeo and Juliet, the first production of Nargis Art Concern. Raj rushed to the studio to meet bibiji with the intention of quizzing her about the facilities that Famous offered. But he missed her by minutes. The unit, he was told, had packed up for the day and gone home.
Raj impulsively decided he’d drive on to Marine Drive where Jaddan Bai had her apartment. A quarter of an hour later he was outside her door ringing the bell. Jaddan Bai’s eighteen-year-old daughter Nargis was in the kitchen frying bhajias. Hearing the doorbell peal she rushed to open the door and was so startled by the sight of a blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked stranger shuffling outside her door, that she put a hand nervously up to brush away her untidy locks and smeared her forehead with the besan dough on her fingers. Raj was enchanted by the image of this lovely girl with besan on her forehead and hair. The crimson blush staining her cheeks as she realized what had happened, enhanced the pretty picture. Stammering with embarrassment Nargis asked him shyly who he was. Raj introduced himself as Prithviraj Kapoor’s son. Nargis recalled seeing him in the play, Deewar, at Prithvi Theatre and invited him in. But when Raj enquired about bibiji and learnt that Nargis was at home alone he refused to enter the apartment and hurried away.
He went straight to the home of his scriptwriter, Inder Raj Anand. “I must have that girl in my film. Write her into the screenplay of Aag,” he commanded. And Nargis walked into Aag in the ninth reel.

kkm:
I think the mustache scene was shot after the completion of the film its more like a portrait for example when we sometimes pose infront of a still camera for a nice photo.
in the above article from net it says that nargis kicks in the movie on 9th reel the total number of reels is 13 so nargis appearance is only 30% in this movie
and what an apperance
and what an apperance
While watching Aag I got to see some similarities with Mera Naam Joker, as a matter of fact two of his most personal films.
The first that came to mind is about the "phases" into witch both movies are devided, ok Aag doesn't have the three chapter division but it is build in three times of the life of the main character, the first being his days as a child, then his youth and highschool days, the last one is his adult days with him finding his way in life and his work as a theater director.
A second thing is about visual situations that are found in the two films... the first image is the one while Keval is alone on stage and expressing his feeling in a form of monologue in front of void seets, so similar to the scene where Raju the joker is singing one of the songs into the circus tent and yet again in front of a void place...
A third one is about a clown that in Aag Keval, as a child sees while a circus is coming to his hometown, the clown is just announcing the coming of the shows with the circus...same image is in MNJ only this time the clown presenting the show at the gathering crowd is Raju himself.
Even though I did not analize in full the meaning if any, certainly to me it seems too specific to be only random coincidences.

Raj Kapoor: The Face Behind The Star
Book: Raj Kapoor
Author: Ritu Nanda
Publisher: R K Studios and Films
Page: 221
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”.
