[Amardeep Singh] In case you were wondering about the fashions in India: Nargis, the lady in white brought to fore, white sarees -both embroidered and bordered. Raj Kapoor's trousers with folded up holes and scarf in the neck remained popular for a long time.
[News.webindia123.com] Brando, Raj Kapoor, Beatles memorabilia for cinema institute ...: Among the things that Tuli has gathered are movie memorabilia from the early and late 1950s, comedies of old British cinema, political propaganda films from the 1940s and 50s, Olympic posters of the 1960s, Bimal Roy's photographs, posters of old Bengali films, Raj Kapoor's own hand drawn posters and posters painted by Akira Kurosawa himself.
[Info4india.com] Info4india: While Shantaram devolved on the need for social reform, and Abbas on economic disparities, Raj Kapoor dealt with the interaction of both on the underprivileged, at the same time insinuating that the underdog was a glamorous rather than reprehensible hero. That he has not always been able to adjust suitably to the times, and that spectacle eventually got the upper hand, does not alter the fact that he has made the most canny compromise between art and commercial expediency in the conventional Indian cinema.
[O3.indiatimes.com] rediscovering india: We all are aware of the fact that the Ganga originates in the Himalayas and flows down from the north to the Bay of Bengal in the east coast culminating in the inimitable mangroves of the Sunderbans made famous by the Royal Bengal tigers. In the course of her journey, she passes through states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and keeps on getting dirtier and murckier.
[Georgethomas.blogspot.com] Beware of the Blog: Joining the band of talent are Anupam Kher, debutantes Joy Sengupta and Nandita Das (although she gets an "introducing" credit here, I wonder if this was her first film), Seema Biswas, and other familiar faces like Milind Gunaji, Mona Ambegaonkar, and small-to-tiny turns from the likes of Bhatki Barve, Sadia Siddiqui, Lovleen Mishra (remember chuTakii from Hum Log?), Aditya Srivastava, Yashpal Sharma, and Rajesh Khera (the ill-fated smoker in Darna Mana Hai). Govind Nihalani even gets another shot at tackling the superficial gaseous vapidity of the upper class with the engagement party (see also: Party).
[Crimsonfeet.org] Crimson feet, a forum for creative labour: The Greatest Editor I ...: Sathe continued to treat me as a young journalist-friend and Raj sahib never refused an interview later. Perhaps people like that no longer exist in Bollywood, but when one thinks of what the likes of Raj Kapoor, SS Pillai and VP Sathe had achieved, one cannot but wish that a bit of them returns once again to tinsel-town.
