As a 90s kid who grew up watching Kapoor movies, this feels so special. Raj Kapoor's legacy is incredible - from Awara to Mera Naam Joker. Hope they show some unseen family footage and recipes!

My grandmother used to tell me stories about watching Raj Kapoor films in single-screen theatres. This documentary feels like a beautiful tribute to not just the family but to generations of Indian cinema lovers. ❤️

Perfect timing for Diwali weekend viewing! Planning to watch this with my family - three generations who've all grown up with Kapoor films. The food angle makes it even more interesting for us foodies!
