On December 14, 1924, the actor and director Raj Kapoor was born. He, a representative of the Indian acting dynasty, glorified his surname to the whole world. The period of his active creative activity coincided with the heyday of Bollywood. Kapoor's acting and directorial work, including “Mr. 420” and “My Name Clown”, became classics of Indian cinema, and the film “Tramp” was nominated for the Grand Prix of the Cannes Film Festival. Largely thanks to Kapoor's tapes in the 1950s, Indian films gained popularity among the Soviet audience. The artist often came to the USSR and even served on the jury of the Moscow International Film Festival. Raj Kapoor passed away in 1988 at the age of 63.
