Recalling Raj Kapoor’s iconic film Awara, Amitabh Bachchan shared, “Even today, Awara is a film that is etched in my mind. Talking about Raj Ji’s incredible showmanship, the way he envisioned the dream sequence in the film had never been seen before. You are amazed by his fantastical imagination that visualised the surreal setting, the ethereal Nargis Ji emerging through thick clouds of smoke, Raj Ji surrounded by demonic figures and burning fires – there is a powerful, mystical symbolism in the dream sequence, and that is my favourite.”
He concluded, “Don’t miss the opportunity to watch these Raj Kapoor classics in a cinema near you from December 13–15.”
To celebrate Raj Kapoor’s 100th birth anniversary, a film festival featuring 10 of his most popular movies will be held at multiplex chains PVR-Inox and Cinepolis from December 13-15, with tickets priced at just Rs 100.
