4.0 out of 5 stars Tissues at the ready!, 5 April 2001
If you don't choke back a single tear in this melodrama then Raj Kapoor has failed. You see, this film seems to have been written for its perpetual ability to dissolve you into a tearful mess only to sustain you until another bought of crying. However at the end of which you feel throughly de-toxed. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars a surreal circus that is definitive cinema , 21 Feb 2009
By Dr. U. L. Khawaja "usman khawaja" (hornchurch ,london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A SURREAL AUTO BIOGRAPHY FOR A PROCLAIMED SHOWMAN -RAJKAPOORS definite role and movie penned by the genius of k.a .abbas is a metahor for the aphorism that life is a stage and humanity are only performers .the vision and philosophy behind this work is both romantic and intellectual and great.
the story of a itinerant buffoon who lives to entertain others is almost reminescent of the man himself somewhere in the domain where reality and the make belief blur into a grey line .

it divides itself into 3 chapters tracing the epic life story of a man who builds a circus show with himself at the centrepiece as an omnipresent joker .

his three failed romantic interludes are described where he loses the lovers to other but it seems to signify that his achievement in his art has given him more contentment then any marital bliss can bless a human being with in this rather deceptive world with transitory love on offer .

the three women are all as different as can be and they all love him in a different capacity but he loves and dedicates his life for his passion to entertain the humanity alone .
while the great set pieces are spectacular and the 9 songs are all master classics ,it is the earlier part of the movie where he is shown as an adolescent coming to terms with love or infatuation for his school teacher played by simi grewal which is a real gem and is even better then the works of FELLINI AND CRYSTALOWSKI on this subject matter .

the circus itself is a metaphor for nothing and everything as it works as a philosophical treatise and as an entertainment vehicle .

this is raj kapoor at his imperative best in a definitive masterpiece and while the huge cast is all commendable it is the debut of his son rishi kapoor playing a younger version of his real dad that steals the show .
the movie was a commercial disaster but is considered as mr.kapoors most important work and is a duly vital achievement which is both thought provoking and visually stunning to look at with a soundtrack that is as fresh and evergreen as the cinema it adorns very relevantly .

an epic to cherish with emotion and intellect in harmony .
