popular actress, and was the first of a new generation of teen romances. Dimple wore bikinis in the film which was quite unique for

Indian films then. In 1975 he acted alongside his son Randhir again inDharam Karamwhich Randhir also directed.

Randhir and Rishi Kapoor, and narrated by his brother Shammi Kapoor. The movie was released in 1991 and became a huge

success at the Box Office. When he was being conferred upon theDadasaheb Phalke Award, where his brotherShashi Kapoorwas

also present, the crowd was clapping around when President Venkataraman, who saw Kapoor's discomfort, came down the stage to

give the award to the legend in the middle of thundering claps where he was breathing his last breath. And suddenly Kapoor

collapsed, and was rushed to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences for treatment. The country's top cardiologists tried their best,

but could not save him.[9]

Legacy[edit]

Raj Kapoor is appreciated both by film critics and ordinary film fans.Film historiansand movie buffs speak of him as the "Charlie

ChaplinofIndian cinema," since he often portrayed a tramp-like figure, who, despite adversity, was still cheerful and honest. His

fame spread worldwide. He was adored by audiences in large parts ofAfrica, theMiddle East, the formerSoviet Union,China,

andSoutheast Asia; his movies were global commercial successes. Raj had the knack of getting the best out of any one, since he

had mastered all departments of film making and even marketing them.[peacock term]

WhenPandit Jawaharlal Nehrudied in 1964

coinciding with release ofSangam, he took the opportunity to create a scene when Gopal ashes were immersed inGanges, like

Pandit Nehru described in his poetic will. His films reflected the Era in which it was made.

He had a great understanding of the public taste and a great sense of Box-Office. He was one of the pioneers of the Indian cinema,

who talked about the potential of Hindi cinema emerging as a great revenue earner from the world market in fifties, which has

become a reality today.[10]

Many of Raj Kapoor's movies had a patriotic theme. His filmsAag,Shree 420andJis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai(In the countrywhere the Ganges flows) celebrated the newly independent India, and encouraged film-goers to be patriots. Raj Kapoor

commissioned these famous lyrics forMera Joota Hai Japani, a song from the movieShree 420:

Mera joota hai Japani(My shoes are Japanese)

Ye patloon Inglistani(These trousers are English)

Sar pe lal topi Roosi(The red cap on my head is Russian)

Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani(But still, however, my heart is Indian)

The song is still extremely popular and has been featured in a number of movies sinceShree 420was

released. Indian authorMahasweta Devistopped the show with her inaugural speech at the 2006Frankfurt

Book Fairwhen she used these lyrics to express her own heartfelt patriotism and debt to her country.

Raj Kapoor was a canny judge offilmimusic and lyrics. Many of the songs he commissioned are evergreen

hits. He introduced the music directorsShankar-Jaikishanand the lyricistsHasrat JaipuriandShailendra. He

is also remembered for his strong sense of visual style. He used striking visual compositions, elaborate sets,

and dramatic lighting to complete the mood set by the music. He introduced the actressesNimmi, Dimple

Kapadia, andMandakini, as well as launching and reviving the careers of his sons Rishi, Randhir and Rajiv.

He was also famous for making his actresses wear revealing clothing which was not very common in Indian

cinema.
