Raj Kapoor by Ritu Nanda Pdf

Raj Kapoor, the creator of some of Hindi cinema's most enduring classics, is one of the greatest film-makers India has ever produced. As producer, director, actor, editor, storyteller, he blazed a trail for subsequent generations of film-makers to follow and aspire to. He was also known to the world as an extraordinary and controversial showman, an entertainer par excellence, someone who created the template for Hindi cinema.Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman is a unique experiment, both an autobiography and a biography. While the autobiography uses his own words, culled from interviews, journals and anecdotes, to provide an intimate glimpse into the mind of a genius, the biography is an attempt to record for posterity the lesser-known facets of his magnificent personality through the recollections of his family, colleagues and friends. As revealing as it is engaging, this is a fascinating portrait of the man regarded as the last of the true movie moguls of Indian cinema.

Raj Kapoor by Rahul Rawail Pdf

'If cinema did not exist, I would be non-existent.' - Raj Kapoor In this warm, thoughtful memoir, veteran filmmaker Rahul Rawail goes back to his days spent in R.K. Studios where he was nurtured and taught to handle the ropes of filmmaking from the Master himself-Raj Kapoor. Through stories only he can tell, Rawail delves not only into the techniques of the legendary filmmaker, but also into hitherto unknown aspects of Raj Kapoor's eccentric personality-his quirky sense of humour, his insights into life, the relationship he shared with his crew and his associations with artists of three generations. The book also examines how the lessons he learnt under the tutelage of Raj Kapoor carried Rahul Rawail through directing his own blockbuster films including Love Story, Betaab, Arjun and Dacait. Raj Kapoor: The Master at Work offers unique insights into what it took for Raj Kapoor to be an exceptional filmmaker, with his understanding of human emotions, virtues of music and the art of visual storytelling. Within these pages, one sees behind the enigma who lived and breathed cinema, in his before-seen role as a teacher, mentor, parent and guru.

Kapoors by Madhu Jain Pdf

‘We are like the Corleones in The Godfather’—Randhir Kapoor There is no film family quite like the Kapoors. A family of professional actors and directors, they span almost eighty years of film-making in India, from the 1920s to the present. Each decade in the history of Hindi films has had at least one Kapoor—if not more—playing a large part in defining it. Never before have four generations of this family—or five, if you include Bashesharnath Kapoor, Prithviraj Kapoor’s father, who played the judge in Awara—been brought together in one book. The Kapoors details the professional careers and personal lives of each generation—box-office successes and failures, the ideologies that informed their work, the larger-than-life Kapoor weddings and Holi celebrations, their extraordinary romantic liaisons and family relationships, their love for food and their dark passages with alcohol. Based on extensive personal interviews conducted over seven years with family members and friends, Madhu Jain goes behind the façade of each member of the Kapoor clan to reveal what makes them tick. The Kapoors resembles the films that the great showman Raj Kapoor made: grand and sweeping, with moments of high drama and touching emotion. ‘Few books on Indian cinema have been written with such wit, clarity and sparkle’—Outlook ‘Jain writes in a language that is simple and pithy. . . it will keep alive public interest in the Kapoors who refuse to call it a day’—Telegraph ‘Immensely readable...will surely find a place in the Indian cineaste’s library’—Biblio

Hindujas And Bollywood by Ajit Rai Translated by Murtaza Ali Khan Pdf

What we call the golden age of Hindi cinema was also the golden age of the global cultural journey of Hindi films across the globe. Today, Hindi films are doing good business all over the world, but its foundation was laid in 1955 by Hinduja brothers in Iran. This journey which started in Iran quickly became famous all over the world. Today, hardly anyone can believe that about fifty years ago, when Raj Kapoor's film 'Sangam' was released in Iran, dubbed in Persian, it ran for three years and for one year in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Mehboob Khan's 'Mother India' and Ramesh Sippy's 'Sholay' also ran for a year in Iran. Indian industrialists Hinduja brothers screened around 1200 Hindi films worldwide from 1954-55 to 1984-85 and in this manner 'Bollywood' was shaped. Hindujas and Bollywood is in a way an attempt to revive that golden history of Hindi cinema which is almost forgotten today. This book takes us on a historic global cultural journey of nearly twelve hundred Hindi films that were successful through the efforts of the Hinduja brothers. It is pleasant to see that this journey of twelve hundred films from Raj Kapoor's 'Shree 420 (1954-55) to Amitabh Bachchan's 'Naseeb' (1984-85) which started from Iran via Britain, Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Thailand, Greece reached the whole world. Many untold stories of this journey will be loved by readers and film lovers. Ajit Rai provides an incisive description of host of memories connected with Hindujas and Hindi film industry in this book. Much has been written about wordly achievements of Hindujas but for the first time an attempt has been made to portray their deep passion for Hindi cinema. Enlivening the narrative are Ajit's warm portrait of Hinduja brothers and their friends including a smattering of Raj Kapoor, Devanand, Yash Chopra and Dharmendra. It brings to light little known details about Hindujas that most people did not know of. Not to mention the startling trivia like Hindujas naming their Tehran office Arzoo and Britain's richest man taking a ride of auto rickshaw on streets of Mumbai. Lucid and engaging Ajit Rai shares many more memorable incidents that have defined their illustrious lives. Rehan Fazal, BBC, Delhi, INDIA

Bollywood Cinema by Vijay Mishra Pdf

India is home to Bollywood - the largest film industry in the world. Movie theaters are said to be the "temples of modern India," with Bombay producing nearly 800 films per year that are viewed by roughly 11 million people per day. In Bollywood Cinema, Vijay Mishra argues that Indian film production and reception is shaped by the desire for national community and a pan-Indian popular culture. Seeking to understand Bollywood according to its own narrative and aesthetic principles and in relation to a global film industry, he views Indian cinema through the dual methodologies of postcolonial studies and film theory. Mishra discusses classics such as Mother India (1957) and Devdas (1935) and recent films including Ram Lakhan (1989) and Khalnayak (1993), linking their form and content to broader issues of national identity, epic tradition, popular culture, history, and the implications of diaspora.
