Bobby
(1973)
|
One of the best Raj Kapoor classics, Bobby is a love story of two tender young hearts caught in the flush of first love. Raj (Rishi Kapoor) eighteen, just out of school and the only son of wealthy parents, is the lonely, poor little rich boy who finds companionship and love and comfort in the company of Bobby (Dimple Kapadia) a sweet, innocent sixteen-year-old. But this path of true love is strewn with too many thorns - social disparity wealth and adults who have long forgotten the sweet agony of love. Bobby is the story of how these two young lovers are pitted against a world that no longer understands how love can conquer everything and triumph. Bobby is a milestone in Hindi cinema for several reasons. It saw the debut of Dimple, one of Indian cinemas finest actresses, it became an icon for young lovers and its songs (“Hum Tum Ik Kamare Mein”, “Jhoot Bole Kauwa Kaate”), scored by Laxmikant Pyarelal, became evergreen hits, capturing the urgent, sweet innocence of young love. |

Movie references abound in this colourful masala, which is not only packed with memorable songs, but also manages to tack a happy ending on to the Romeo and Juliet story. Director Raj Kapoor is in playful mood throughout, making many of the love scenes between his son Rishi and Dimple Kapadia mirror classic moments from his own on-screen teaming with 1950s superstar Nargis. Moreover, he casts the hissible Prem Chopra as himself to act as the deus ex machina, whose abduction of Kapadia sees a cessation in the feud between her fisherman father and Rishi's rich relations.
