Raj kapoor was a showman with a special charm and made some real nice black and white movies. I think picturisation of songs like awara hu, mera naam joker songs, songs like pyar huva ikraar huva phir pyar se kyon darta hi dil ( with nargis and raj kapoor, those rainy skies, those road side tea stalls and village kids,raj kapoor himself with his blue eyes, innocent smiles, innocent village bumpkin dialogues and accent) are still some of the very well picturised movie songs of all times touching the hearts of even people from other countries who dont speak hindi.</p> My Russian and even chinese friends think indian cinema is Raj kapoor and to my surprise they even sang his “awara hu” and “mera joota hi japani, sar pe lal topi rusi, phir bhi dil hi hindustani” songs..
