Raj Kapoor: A Loving Dad and Cinema Legend Celebrates 100 Years!

MUMBAI – As Raj Kapoor approaches what would have been his 100th birthday, his eldest son, Randhir Kapoor, remembers him not just as a famous filmmaker but also as a wonderful dad. Randhir, who directed Raj and his grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor in the 1971 movie “Kal Aaj Aur Kal,” says he thinks about his father every day. “I’m proud to be Raj Kapoor’s son. We still follow his advice to be happy and healthy,” Randhir shared in an interview.

Raj Kapoor was known for loving his kids and always being a simple man at home. Although he was busy with work, he made time for family by taking them out to eat at his favorite dosa place in Matunga. “He loved food and would often treat people with great meals,” said the 77-year-old.

Randhir also talked about his father’s famous films, including “Awara,” “Shree 420,” and “Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai.” “My father was unique and had a special style. He thought about the common man and made films that everyone liked, both in India and around the world.”

Randhir directed Raj in “Dharam Karam” and remembered him as an obedient actor who listened to the director’s instructions. To honor his father, PVR INOX Limited and the Film Heritage Foundation will hold the RK Film Festival to celebrate Raj Kapoor’s 100th birthday. This special event will show ten of his films, like “Aag,” “Barsaat,” and “Bobby,” in select theaters across 40 cities.

“I hope today’s kids watch his movies and get inspired,” Randhir said, mentioning that the Kapoor family will come together for a special celebration on December 14. He expressed gratitude for fans who still remember Raj Kapoor and his films even years after his passing. “It’s heartwarming to see how people all over the world continue to cherish his legacy,” he added.
