Raj Kapoor, often called the "greatest showman of Indian cinema," continues to captivate hearts as the nation marks his 100th birth anniversary. A pioneer of Indian cinema, Kapoor gave us unforgettable films like Awaara, Shree 420, and Mera Naam Joker. His movies blended romance, soul, and social commentary, reflecting the dreams of a young, independent India. His film Awaara was a sensation in the Soviet Union, earning him a global fan base and making him a cultural ambassador for Indian cinema. Songs like Awaara Hoon became anthems overseas. From his iconic tramp persona to timeless songs like Mera Joota Hai Japani, Kapoor’s work remains relevant today. To honor his legacy, a retrospective of his classics is being screened in 40 cities, reminding fans of his unparalleled contributions to Indian cinema.
