Bollywood Royalty Reflects on a Pioneering Filmmaker's Enduring Impact

During a meeting commemorating the director’s centenary, actor Ranbir Kapoor shared personal stories about his grandfather, famed filmmaker Raj Kapoor.

Speaking with director Rahul Rawail, Kapoor paid a heartfelt homage to one of Indian cinema’s most significant artists. He remembered childhood memories of the famed filmmaker’s lighter side, such as Raj Kapoor gathering his grandchildren to sing the popular song “Awaara Hoon” from his 1951 film.

Beyond personal memories, Kapoor emphasized his grandfather’s dedication to social commentary. “If you watch ‘Awaara,’ it was based on casteism. ‘Shree 420’ was about greed and the impoverished,” he explained. This revelation demonstrated Raj Kapoor’s capacity to approach complicated social concerns through movies.

The discussion also underlined the filmmaker’s perseverance. Despite the commercial failure of “Mera Naam Joker” in 1970, which caused him financial hardship—even to the point of mortgaging his house—Raj Kapoor launched “Bobby” in 1973, starring entirely new talent. Ranbir recognized the value of a 50-year-old director remaining linked to youth culture.

A significant preservation program was also announced. The National Film Development Corporation of India, the National Film Archive of India, and the Film Heritage Foundation collaborated to restore ten of Raj Kapoor’s films. A statewide film festival is scheduled for December 13-15 to highlight these restored masterpieces.

Ranbir Kapoor reflected on his grandfather’s legacy with reverence and humility. “My grandfather directed, acted in, produced, wrote, and edited a picture at 24. “I am 42 years old today, and I still lack the courage to direct a film,” he admitted.

While Kapoor has produced a film and aspires to direct one day, he remains devoted to telling important stories. His tribute not only honored his grandfather’s legacy but also praised Raj Kapoor’s lasting influence on Indian cinema.
