Awaara (1951) ... HQ

IMDB
 

An old  time classic ... :D
Nominated for Palme d'Or (Golden Palm Award at Cannnes).
All the songs are just too good .. The one I like the most is "Dam Bhar Jo Udhar Moonh Phere" ... Then may be "Tere Bina Aag Yeh Chandani "

This one is a Raj Kapoor's self directed and produced movie. And I haven't seen such mind blowing studio-sets in any other Indian movie that I came through. I guess that's why Raj Kapoor was also known as "The Showman" in Bollywood.

One of the most comic things about that era was that the scenes were too dramatic.. (-- nahin --- )  and this was really enjoyable.. The transition between scenes involves an slow decrease to complete absence of audio-video content that also provokes a sense of older days..



Nargis was really really gorgeous, though a little heavy, and really worth watching, she looked almost more beautiful than Katrina Kaif,  and so was Raj Kapoor. The whole family was involved in the movie -- father Prithvi Raj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor and brother Shashi Kapoor (as baby Raj Kapoor). I couldn't believe that Shashi  Kapoor (born as Balbir Raj Kapoor) was so wonderful in acting since his baby days in film industry ..

9/10

  1. true yaar .. the non-digital era of film making demanded more from the actors than the present day movies. The actors/singers/music directors had to work much harder and it can be easily detected if you compare Don(old and new)

  2. an that's why we still love old songs ..
    just listen to Kishore, Lata and the music given by RD Burman ..

    they are an exquisite piece of work..
    almost never to be enjoyed live again ..
