Raj Kapoor, who passed away on 2 June 1988, aged 63, in New Delhi, was an Indian motion-picture actor and director whose Hindi -language films were popular throughout
India, the Middle East, the Soviet Union, China, and Southeast Asia. Along with Dilip
Kumar and Dev Anand, he dominated Bollywood during its golden age (1940s–60s). He
is known for tackling complex themes in his films, many of which are counted
among India’s most acclaimed cinematic works, and for creating a screen persona

showman of Indian cinema,” he is credited with elevating Indian films to the
global stage.
