Kabhi hua ye bhi

There was such a time

 

Khaali raahon pe bhi

Even on empty path

 

Tu tha mere saath

You were with me

 

Kabhi tujhe mil ke lauta

There was a time when my heart

 

Mera dil ye khaali khaali haath

Returned empty handed after meeting you

 

Ye bhi hua kabhi

This had happened

 

Jaise hua abhi

That has happened just now

 

Tujhko sabhi mein paa liya

I found you in everything

Tera mujhe kar jaati hai dooriyan

Fanaah ho sabhi dooriyan

Kaha bhi na maine

I didn’t tell you

 

Nahin jeena maine

That I won’t live

 

Tu jo na mila

If I didn’t get you

 

Tujhe bhule se bhi na

I didn’t even say this by mistake

 

Bola na main ye bhi chahun fasla

That I want distance

----------------------

 

Bas faasla rahe

Now there is just distance

 

Ban ke kasak jo kahe

Which say’s in the form of pain

 

Ho aur chahat ye jawaan

That love should blossom

 

Teri meri mit jaani hain dooriyan

Our distance will finish

 

Begaani hain dooriyan

The distance is a stranger

 

Hat jani hain dooriyan

Delhi 6 | Movie Review

Synopsis: 

Although he was born in America, Roshan decides to take his ill grandmother back home to India. 

Arriving in Chandni Chowk, the ancient walled city of Delhi, Roshan finds himself on an unexpected inner journey as he learns about himself and his roots.

• Sonam Kapoor 
• Waheeda Rehman 
• Om Puri

• Cyrus Sahukar 

Grade: C 

Totally disappointing, no story line, Sonam Kapoor a total waste & more disappointment (as usual).

  

Abhishek Bachchan, really needs to start expressing his emotion facially and portray as an "American Asian Indian" (speaking for personal experience and point of view) instead of unknown shade, who has no clue of anything.

Only good thing in this whole movie, is the picturesque and scenic!!!

Raj Kapoor an Interesting Figure

Raj Kapoor was the eldest of the four children in the Hindu Pathan family.

He is grandson of Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor and great-grandson of Dewan Keshavmal Kapoor, part of the famous Kapoor family.

His younger brothers are the actors Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor. He also had a sister by name Urmila Sial.

Raj Kapoor began his career as a clapper boy assisting Kidar Sharma at a film studio.

At age eleven, he appeared in films for the first time, in the 1935 film Inquilab.

After acting in several other films the next 12 years, Raj Kapoor’s big break came with the lead role in Neel Kamal (1947) opposite Madhubala in her first role as a leading lady.

In 1948, at the age of twenty-four, he established his own studio, R. K. Films, and became the youngest film director of his time.

His first movie as a producer, director and star was the 1948 film Aag which was also the first of his many films with actress Nargis. However the film failed to do well at the box office.

In 1949 he once again starred alongside Nargis and Dilip kumar in Mehboob Khan’s classic blockbuster Andaz which was his first major success as an actor.

He went on to produce, direct and star in many box office hits such as Barsaat (1949), Awaara (1951), Shree 420 (1955), Chori Chori (1956) and Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai (1960).

These films established his screen image as The Tramp modeled on Charlie Chaplin’s most famous screen persona.

In 1964 he produced, directed and starred in Sangam which was his first film in colour. This was his last major success as a leading actor.

He moved onto directing and starring in his ambitious 1970 film, Mera Naam Joker (My name is Joker), which took more than six years to complete. The film was said to be loosely based on his own life. When released in 1970, it was however a box office disaster putting him into a financial crisis. Despite this setback, the film was much later acknowledged as a misunderstood classic and Raj himself regarded this film as his favorite

He bounced back in 1971 when he co-starred with his eldest son Randhir Kapoor in Randhir’s acting and directorial debut Kal Aaj Aur Kal (1971) which also starred Raj’s father Prithviraj Kapoor as well as Randhir’s wife to be Babita.

From then on he acted in films as a character actor and focused on producing and directing films. He launched his second eldest son Rishi Kapoor’s career when he produced and directed Bobby (1973) which was not only a huge box office success but also introduced actress Dimple Kapadia, later a very 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 the latter half of the 1970s and early 1980s he produced and directed films which focused on the female protagonists: Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978) with Zeenat Aman, Prem Rog (1982) with Padmini Kolhapure and Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985) which introduced Mandakini.

Raj Kapoor’s last major film appearance was in Vakil Babu (1982). His last acting role was a cameo appearance in a 1984 released British made-for-television film titled Kim.

Raj Kapoor suffered from asthma in his later years; he died of complications related to asthma in 1988 at sixty-three years of age.

At the time of his death he was working on the movie Henna (an Indo-Pakistani love story). The film was later completed by his son Randhir Kapoor and released in 1991 going onto become a huge success.

Raj Kapoor is appreciated both by film critics and ordinary film fans.

Film historians and movie buffs speak of him as the “Charlie Chaplin of Indian 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 of Africa, the Middle East, the former Soviet Union, China, and Southeast Asia; his movies were global commercial successes.

Many of Raj Kapoor’s movies had a patriotic theme. His films Aag, Shree 420 and Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai (In the Country Where the Ganges Flows) celebrated the newly independent India, and encouraged film-goers to be patriots. Raj Kapoor commissioned these famous lyrics for “Mera Joota Hai Japani,” a song from the movie Shree 420:

Mera joota hai Japani

Ye pataloon Inglistani

Sar pe lal topi Roosi

Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani

My shoes are Japanese

These trousers are English

The red cap on my head is Russian

However my heart is Indian

The song is still extremely popular and has been featured in a number of movies since Shree 420. Indian author Mahasweta Devi stopped the show with her inaugural speech at the 2006 Frankfurt Book Fair when she used these lyrics to express her own heartfelt patriotism and debt to her country.

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

He introduced the music directors Shankar Jaikishan and the lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri.

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 actors Nimmi, Dimple Kapadia, and Mandakini, as well as launching and reviving the careers of his sons Rishi and Rajiv. Raj Kapoor was a great actor in the bollywood.

The Kapoor family hailed from what is now Faisalabad (then called Lyallpur) in the Punjab province of present-day Pakistan.

In 1946, at 22, Raj Kapoor married Krishna Malhotra belonging to Jabalpur, in a traditional family-arranged wedding.

Krishna was a distant relative, his father’s maternal uncle’s daughter. Her brothers Prem Nath as well as Rajindernath were also actors.

Raj Kapoor and Krishna’s eldest son Randhir Kapoor was born in 1947, followed by their elder daughter Ritu the year after, in 1948.

The second son actor, Rishi Kapoor was born in 1952, and second daughter Reema in 1956.

Their youngest son, Rajiv Kapoor was born in 1962.

Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor have all been associated with Bollywood as actors, directors or producers.

Kapoor is also known to have had a longtime romantic relationship with the renowned actress Nargis during the 1950s.

The couple starred in several films together, including Awaara and Shree 420. He is also alleged to have had an affair with Vyjayanthimala, his co-star in Sangam.

His grand daughters are Bollywood actress, Karishma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, the daughters of his eldest son Randhir Kapoor by his wife Babita.

Ranbir Kapoor, the son of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, his family has found another Kapoor scion to join the ranks of the Hindi Film Industry in 2007.

Kareena's Family

Kareena Kapoor is the youngest daughter of actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita (née Shivdasani). According to Kapoor, her first name was derived from the book Anna Karenina.

She is the granddaughter of actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor and the great granddaughter of Prithviraj Kapoor.

Bebo, as she is fondly called, is also the sister of actress Karisma Kapoor and the niece of actor Rishi Kapoor.
