Audience Member InTheBasket program The Quote below from the Movie actually moved me to watch this Movie, thanks to the advertisements of Raj Kapoor Collection in SHEMAROO DVD s. <center>Yeh Bambai he mere Bhai, yaha Building Cement ki aur Insano ke dil pathar ke. Yaha ek jhota pooja jata he, aur wo he PAISA!</center> Great Classic from the Raj Kapoor Factory. It has a tiny bit of everything. It also has a great message. Raj Kapoor knew how to entertain the public and to pick topics in the Movies that anyone could easily identify themselves in the Characters. Even now. .<br> Raj Kapoor was "Charlie Chaplin" of Bollywood. <div style="width:220px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/raj-kapoor-raj-kapoor-6914519"><img src="http://content9.flixster.com/photo/69/14/51/6914519_gal.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com">Flixster</a> - Share Movies</div></div> Trivia:: The result Nargis and Raj Kapoor woking together: Dimple Kapadia:: Mother of Twinkle Khanna, Ex Wife? of Rajesh Khanna. :: :: Nargis and Bollywood mega-star Raj Kapoor formed a reel romantic couple, but it is well known that they had an off-screen romance and intimate relationship as well, but Raj, who was already married to Krishna, refused to divorce his wife. Dimple was discovered by legendary showman, Raj Kapoor, who signed her up opposite his son, Rishi, in the 1973 hit 'Bobby'. The film made Rishi and her stars overnight, at the time she was just 16 years old. hear/say Scandalous Though at that time not knowing that Dimple was his OWN Daughter. Meaning half Sister of Rishi Kapoor! Till Nargis confronted him.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Mike M Remains an essentially innocent work - there are banana skin pratfalls, Kapoor douses both himself and his employees with a fire extinguisher at one point, and the lovers play out a marital ballet under an umbrella on a rainy Bombay night - but the finale is quite awesomely calculating: even Chaplin at his most plaintive and teary-eyed might have balked at turning his Tramp into a martyr to the follies of ruthless capitalism, as the star threatens to do here. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/04/09 Full Review Audience Member movie accompanied with great music. guaranteed to arouse sympathy fm viewers. like it ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member well umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch.....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think that raj kapoor, pessi patel, nargis, nadria, nadira nemo, nana palsikar, lalita pawar, hari shivdassani, bhudo advani play good roles/parts throughout this movie....i think that the director of this drama/musical/performing arts/classics/art-house/international movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie its a really good movie 2 watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The story has been retold a thousand times. But never with the adorable scampiness of RK. (BUT its physically painful to watch Nargis wear a sari as though it were some kind of gamchha and every single scene with Nadira was like Chinese water torture and the "Vidya Shastri" vs. "Maya" madonna whore thing is just too painful for words) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member movie with melody counts Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
