"Jago mohan pyare.." 
Last song sequence of one of our India's neo-realistic films..'Jagate Raho' (1956) Produced-Acted by Raj Kapoor and Directed by Amit Mitra & Sombu Mitra..with them K.A. Abbas wrote the film!..And excellent cinematographed by Radhu Karmakar!
Nargis did cameo in it!..And it was the last time she appeared in 'RK' Film!

'Jagate Raho' won national award and 'Crystal Globe Grand Prix' at 'Karlovy Vary International Film Festival' in Czechoslovakia!

On this 'World Water Day' I remembered this..as metaphor!

  1. Situation and Salutation!
    You are 100% right Sir!
    You have said it correct!
    Raj Kapoor bending and sitting joining his palms waiting to flow water from the vessel held by Nargis is a metaphor!
    Raj Kapoor got lot from Nargis which she gave away willingly by lending her hand to him!
    However at the break of their relationship in the end she is bowing to pour and offer drops of water at the last is an accurate situation!
    Both artists possessing class of very high order of sensativity may have deliberately have managed or to recreate the true to life situation to look at the retrospect to be true and mirroring the past!
    Fantastic!
    God bless both!
