Goodmorning all OIG friends. I have been sitting and browsing since a few days, wondering which film would be my choice for EHFS .There are so many to choose from. However I recently watched the film Shree 420 and loved the message in it and have chosen this film for the classic evergreen songs. Hope you enjoy the presentation. Most of it has been copied from Wikipedia and other sources. The classic 1955, black and white film produced and directed by Raj Kapoor is a superb story of love and temptation, of self-deception and redemption. Not only is the story a moving and profound parable on ambition and success, but the way the film is done is inventive, touching, funny, symbolical The number 420 refers to Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, which prescribes the punishment for the offence of cheating; hence, Mr. 420 is a derogatory term for a cheat. The film centres on Raj, a poor but educated orphan who comes to Bombay with dreams of success. Kapoors character is heavily influenced by Charlie Chaplins little tramp, much like Kapoors character in his 1951 Awaara. It was written by Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, and the music was composed by the team of Shankar Jaikishan. The lyrics were penned by Shailendra. Shree 420 was the highest grossing film of 1955, and the song Mera Joota Hai Japani sung by Mukesh, became hugely popular and a patriotic symbol of the newly independent India. A country boy, Raj (Raj Kapoor), from Allahabad, travels to the big city, Bombay, by walking, to earn a living. youtu.be/TdQwPwmsUC0
