This was Raj Kapoor's most personal film, yet it was a major box office failure--one of the few in the actor-director's long career as a top star of Indian cinema. It is an ambitious, three-part epic, with many autobiographical elements, about "the eternal clown," who must go on with the show at all costs. Often compared to Chaplin's Limelight, the film was six years in the making and cost Kapoor much of his own personal fortune. In Hindi with Raj Kapoor---India---1970---240 mins.
