Raj Kapoor - The Showman of Indian Cinema (1987)

The Showman of the Indian Cinema

Raj Kapoor, the film maker and actor became a legend in his lifetime. Head of one of the last great studios on the Indian sub-continent and creator of a film-making empire for nearly half a century. Woven into the texture of this 70-minute film, part personal narrative, part rare visuals, part cinema footage, is the picture of a man who straddled the Indian cinematic world for nearly half a century like a colossus.
