THE SHOWMAN RAJ KAPOOR | LIFE


  Kapoor family, plays a vital role in history of Indian Cinema . Starting from Prithviraj Kapoor  till todays
 Ranvir kapoor. This show is going on. This family now become a mirror of Bollywood .
In My this blog I am writing about the showman of Bollywood , yes its all about RAJ KAPOOR.
Who was known as the showman . Raj Kapoor started his direction with the movie Aag staring himself and Nergis. The movie had not done well, but it was the beginning of the thoughts and perspective of Raj Kapoor which can be seen in this movie. The face of actor was shown ablaze face was shown in the close- up.
                        Reaction of the actress, after seeing the face of her husband( Film - Aag)

Its really a big step , to show ablaze face by a actor in debut movie. charming faces was in more demand in that era with compare to this era. 'This type of experiments was not considered good for the career" - stated by many critics. But raj kapoor not stopped there, he put his perspective very strongly on silver screen by the movies like Awara, Shree 420, Barsaat, Sangaam, Mera naam joker, Ram teri ganga mali, Satyam shivam sundaram and many others.
Talking about Raj kapoor, with his dream project which was a flop at that time but a great hit of todays. Yes , I am talking about MERA NAAM JOKER , a bench mark in Indian history of Bollywood. So readers hold your heart.
.  Mera Naam Joker, its a philosophy of life. Raj saheb had shown it with the life journey of a clown (joker). The movie had a two intermission. It was not wrong to say its was his dream project and but the unsuccessfulness Raj Kapoor was in a great loss. But its was only the which was flop of its time and now a hit. It can be of many reason but from my point I can say its was a movie which was not able to communicate with that time may be due its reach content audience was not able to get connected with it. But with time its shown his magic
Movie was based on the three main stage of life 1. childhood, 2. Adult hood and last the old age .
The childhood role was played by Rishi Kapoor. who was a student and falls in love with her teacher played by Simi Agrawal. And the second and third stage was played by Raj Kapoor by himself
The Movie starts with the song "Jeena Yaha Marna yaha
Jeena yahan Marna yahan
Iske siva jana kahan

Jeena yahan marna yahan
Iske siva jana kahan

Jee chahe jab humko aawaz do
Hum the vahin hum the jahan

Hum the yahin dono jahan
Iske siva jana kahan

Yeh mera geet jeevan sangeet
Kal bhi koi dohrayega

Yeh mera geet jeevan sangeet
Kal bhi koi dohrayega

Jag ko hnsane behroopiya
Roop badal fir aayega

Swarg yahin narak yahan
Iske siva jana kahan

Jee chahe jab humko aawaz do
Hum the vahin hum the jahan

Hum the yahin dono jahan
Iske siva jana kahan

Kal khel me hum ho na ho
Gardish me taare rhenge sda

Kal khel me hum ho na ho
Gardish me taare rhenge sda

Bhuloge tum bhulenge vo
Par hum tumhare rhenge sda

Rhenge yahin apne nishaan
Iske siva jana kahan

Jee chahe jab humko aawaz do
Hum the vahin hum the jahan

Hum the yahin dono jahan
Iske siva jana kahan

Jeena yahan Marna yahan
Iske siva jana kahan.

This is full of meanings, if you go through the song then you can get how wonderfully it is explained about the life .Jeena yahan marna yahan Iske siva jana kahan , thats mean we have to live here and die here (on Earth) and at last we have to go the heaven. In the song you can see the gesture of the finger moving down and up which indicate Earth and the heaven.
And the heart is of the clown who is bigger than the world and for the world. 
Jag ko hnsane behroopiya Roop badal fir aayega How meaningful , that the soul will come again with a new face and a new identity only the body dies not the soul.
Bhuloge tum bhulenge vo
Par hum tumhare rhenge sda

Rhenge yahin apne nishaan
Iske siva jana kahan

 .  He is telling to those whom he loved with full heart and soul but they left him alone due to there only reasons, that they could forget him but he will not. what we do only remains here and the rest goes with you and thats the only truth. In the song he request  from all three girls that give my heart back with the pain in his eyes.And the heart falls from his hand and breaks out , and the movie goes to flash back starting from his child hood.
In the movie you can see many topics which Raj kapoor had shown like 
Cross border love
part time job, which was not in fashion in India at that time.
money and love
need is every thing. No need no love.
In my next blog i will continue with mera naam joker. And those who had not watched  the movie yet please watch it . believe me, proud to be a joker I
