Googley Kannada movie... I m watched this movie 17th times and till I m not bored... U should watch this movie... This is one of the best movie of India...
Ahhhhhh! Those good old days where we only had DoorDarshan to rely on....!!!!! Those days of Rangoli, Ramayan, Malgudi Days, Hum Log, Mahabharat, Dekh Bhai Dekh, Bharat Ek Khoj, Byomkesh Bakshi, Chanakya, Tu Tu Mein Mein, ...... And so many great shows of the 80’s and 90’s...!!! Makes me so nostalgic! My childhood was indeed precious and much more simpler and care-free! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Raj Kapoor films always had a socialistic message. He is a poor guy running after money in any way he could. While doing that he leaves behind the people who love him, gets hooked to a heartless rich woman.. in this song he comes back to his roots. The girl sitting under the lamppost is the teacher who loves him, the old woman is the one who treated him like her own son, this whole community had taken place of his family whom he had spurned in his quest for instant riches.
Lol 420 means something completely different in India. It is used to describe someone who is a cheat or a con artist - derived from Section 420 of the penal code - it details the punishment for the offense of cheating.
Yes, the name Sri 420 is derived from IPC Section 420- applied for crime of cheating, forgery. I think in other countries also the same section is applicable for such a crime because our constitution, IPC, CRPC are designed on basis of British, French and some other countries' similar documents. USA's laws are also designed on similar basis....... So these criminal laws are similar all over the world so that people know them and refrain from any such crime even on a foreign land.
The sentence "Ramayya Vasthavayya" Which means "O dear wouldn't you return? " is from telugu language, the director liked that in telugu so they kept it same wouthout changing it into hindi. So every line in song is in hindi language except the heading line "Ramayya Vasthavayya" ,It's in telugu .
A lot of construction workers those days were from Telugu states. Also Shankar was from Hyderabad. When the song was not ryhing they added this it seems
Trivia on Mr. Raj Kapoor: he had a huge fan following in Russia apart from India of course. Most fans in Russia thought Mr. Kapoor sang all his songs. They could not believe Mr. Mukesh, a famous playback singer in the 50s was Mr Kapoor s voice in all his songs.
Raj Kapoor's full name is Ranbir Raj Kapoor. The younger Ranbir is named after his grandfather. Raj is the father of Rishi, Randhir and Rajeev. Grandfather of Ranbir, Karisma and Kareena. Raj Kapoor's father Prithviraj Kapoor played Akbar in Mughal e Azam.
You'll have to keep repeating that for another year but may not make any difference since it has already been mentioned numerous times and has not sunk in. They have really started to live up to the name of the channel, and not in a fun way.
@@ant5630 To be honest, they have really started ignoring the comments now. Earlier, Rick used to reply in the comments and Korbin used to regularly heart some of the comments. Now it doesn't happen I think mostly because people have been a lot rude to them lately. In movie reviews or in other videos where they tend to make some mistakes. Maybe that's why they're not too interested now. That's just my thoughts.
@@whitewalker608 I guess it's their choice to handle rudeness this way. But this is what they seem to be doing full time, it's their work. You can choose to disconnect and not take the people engaging with videos into consideration, but that's not going to work well in the long run. I mean it's the internet, of course some people are going to disagree or be rude. If someone is harassing or abusive, block and move on. But they seem to be choosing to go the route of just take the ad revenue from videos and Patreon income, engage only with the clique of people who pay or follow closely on social media and ignore the rest because they don't matter. Oh well.
50s Bollywood cinema is really unparalleled in its story,songs,music,cinematograhy,acting..everything.....i really love the films of this era...it was so freaking good....compared to what came later this era remains a masterpiece...
Nargis is in the last part. The lady in the party is Florence Nadira Ezekiel. She was born in Iraq, Baghdad and belonged to the Iraqi Jewish migrants in India.
Oh gosh, this unlocked a memory... I don't know if you'll read this, but, when Raj Kapoor walked out of the party and the male voice started singing (playback singer Mohammad Rafi), it reminded me of a 1980s UK show called 'Movie Mahal' - I think episodes are available on RUclips! I watched it as a child because it subbed the songs and explained who the people were and a little of the history of the music. Do check it out! Incidentally, the hero Raj Kapoor has the playback singer Mukesh. The two were like one face and voice for decades. True magic.
Raj kapoor was star in Soviet Union. His films were as popular in Russia as they were in India. That's why his old film music has a hint of Russia. India and Russia were fast frends at that time ( today too) China was also in the same boat until the back stabbing of 1962.
According to wiki...The story goes, the Telugu dubbed version of the film Aah, 1953 was so well received that Raj Kapoor was elated and showed his gratitude for Telugu audiences by having a song in the film beginning with these lines.
Mukesh also needs to be recognized for this song. He was THE voice for Raj Kapoor (almost song all songs for him) and is just as legendary as Md. Rafi and Kishore Kumar.
The actress who was sitting alone with teary eyes and sang a few lines in this music video is Nargis and she was the protagonist in "Mother India" Although you liked her a lot in that film but you couldn't recognize her here in this video. Anyways watch these Hindi Classic films, 1) AWAARA(1951) for Raj Kapoor 2) GUIDE(1965) for Dev Anand 3) MADHUMATI(1958) for Dilip Kumar 4) CHALTI KA NAAM GAADI(1958) for Kishore Kumar 5) SAHIB BIBI AUR GHULAM(1962) for Guru Dutt
Raj Kapoor movies were well received in Telugu as well during that time (ofc dubbed versions). Raj Kapoor was happy about it and used the phrase “Ramayya Vasthavayya” from a Telugu folk song about lord Rama. The phrase translates to lord ram would you come.
Shankar jaikishan the music directors gave wonderful songs to Hindi and one telugu film NTR starred Jeevitha chakram . Shankar's father settled in Andhrapradesh and shankar spent his childhood in Hyderabad.Ramayya vastavayya line was his choice and Rajkapoor accepted it.The song was huge hit.
Yes, it's a must watch. Raj Kapoor movies are way ahead of it's time. Depiction of the Indian culture at those time will be seen in none other than Raj Kapoor's movies. please watch this classic...
You didn't get the vibe of this song. It is about materialistic western culture and spiritual indian culture. The hero belongs to the village but somehow he got success and left his village(basti) and went with industrialist, upper class people. There were lights, dances performed by attractive ladies, money, fame, power etc. but the soulfulness was missing. He didn't felt love, simplicity, care for each other there. Hence when he left from there, he felt a sense of renunciation from that material environment, he was fed up. Whereas he felt lovely connection at village(basti). He felt soulful connection. Hence the song is about "won't you return?", it is actually talking about his return and his regret that he left at first place in attraction of money, but felt no love there, but materlism, hence a sudden renunciation caused him to return to his roots. PS : westners have difficulty understanding renunciation, I have seen it. People cry over this song as if some loved one who left, realises his mistake and comes back. Subah ka bhula sham ko ghar aa jaye to use bhula nhi kehte.
To Rick : - That lady dancer (Nadira) at the start is perhaps the only Indian Jewish who made it big in films. - 420 is not MJ in this context, it loosely translates to con artist here.
Wait, did I see another classic??!! Oh my- Lol This is why I absolutely LOVE this channel😂❤️❤️❤️ Edit- Aw c'mon guys! It's soo heartbreaking when u don't recognize the people in the video despite seeing them so many times 😕😕. Didn't u guys recognize Nargis from Mother India? And the entire family tree of Raj Kapoor has been drawn out in the comments several times... I can feel the disappointment of every golden era fan 😔 **sigh**
You can also react to Dilka haal sune dilwala from this film.. Actually every song of this film is itself a classic * Ichak daana bichak daana * Mud mud ke naa dekh * pyaar hua ikrar hua * dil ka haal sune dilwaala..
Raj Kapoor and Nargis were in a relationship for many years while he was married. He wud never leave his wife. In 1956 Nargis refused to work with him again and stopped the relationship and went to do 'Mother India' and her love story with Suni Dutt began while filming during the film and the rest was history. Even in his film 'Mera Naam Joker' my favourite of Raj Kapoor he played a part of Shree 420 scenes in a song called. 'Kehta hai joker' 1968. He never wanted the relationship to end, but she had to move on ..
Raj kapoor is Ranbir, karishma and kareena kapoor’s grandpa, their whole family is in movies, even Raj kapoor’s father, prithvi Raj kapoor was the popular actor
Every time I hear "Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya, Maine Dil Tujhko Diya", I expect it to be followed by the lines "Saale ne waapas kiya"!!! That's what we sang in school!
Song is sung by legendary Lata Mangeshkar. Male lead and Director of the movie is legendary Raj Kapoor, grandfather of Ranbeer Kapoor. Female lead is Nargis, mother of Sanjay Dutt.
Prithviraj (Mugal E Azzam) father of Raj (Shammi and Shashi are brothers) Father of Rishi Father of Ranbir. Kareena and Karisma are Raj 's Grandaughters by Randhir (Rishi's Brother) Soon you will have it all memorized!
I recommend you to watch this movie.. Raj Kapoor(popularly known as the showman of Indian cinema) had a major following not only in India but also many abroad countries like Russia! You can see many of his movies like Aawara, Mera naam Joker and many more all are masterpieces.. I also want you to explore many other movies of those time they had fantastic story,music,dance everything was mesmerizing
Guys its terrible that you don't understand the greatness of this song. Don't just go by the word in the lyrics, understand the metaphor of each words in that lyrics. This song has great depth and meaning. This song is written by the great writer Shailendra .
I think once they see the full movie, they will have a deeper understanding of the meaning of the beautiful lyrics. Remember, they are not used to these kinds of old meaningful Indian songs and films. And also they do not speak the language which makes it difficult to understand at a deeper level when it is translated from another perspective. 🙂
The love interest of raj kapoor in this song is the famous actress of her time ......Nargis , mother of Sanjay Dutt . Raj kapoor is Ranveer kappor’s paternal grandfather. Sahib Bibi aur ghulam is what you should be watching and then reviewing ...... this movie stars the legendary actress Meena Kumari, Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman ! A great classic, winning several awards in its time and has some beautiful music as well .
50s,60s is gold. raj kapoor, Dilip Kumar,dev anand, Madhubala,Nargis,vajantimala,nutan,meena kumari so great full.that time more concept movies more made
This film and this song is one of the master piece by Raj Kapoor. The film speaks volumes about poverty and exploitation in India but gives it a global language. You must watch this film. This is the film what made Raj Kapoor what he was. A great showman. If possible you should watch all the Raj Kapoor movies.
This might be slightly controversial, given how much people seem to enjoy this spectacle. But I will be straightforward and say it, there are somethings that just don’t translate and travel. This is not “Bollywood party song”, these are songs and cinema that made India a nation, gave it it’s veryethos. This is not Bollywood, Hell the term Bollywood did not exist then, this is an exercise in Nation Building. These are movies made right after India became Independent. To be honest, you need to understand basics in India music to understand the basic sorrow in the tune. While that people are dancing, it is all Melancholia, and you don’t need the lyrics to understand it. This is a masterclass in Indian music, ethos, culture everything. Raj Kapoor is a giant, any ‘Cinema” lover would know when to shutup and throw their assumptions about the craft and the technicalities out and just feel. I am personally fed up, with seeing such thing being reviewed. The palette is just not there.
Not at all controversial, all completely true. But unfortunately this comment is too lovely, knowledgeable and insightful to be understood by 90% of people here or Indians in general today, let alone american reactors. Not that they are bothering to read or understand anyways :) But thanks for chiming in, it's good to know at least some people know and understand this. There have been a handful of commenters in the videos who have tried to give deeper insights like this over months. But deaf ears and all that!
Instead of taking feel of such a meldious song, dont know why you guys keep on laughing..This is not only song but our best of Golden era. You need to read background of the song before reacting. My geniun n friendly advice.
I feel disappointed too. I think its easy for them to relate to surprising or funny or something that pumps up the adrenaline but not plain sounding songs ...plain to the Western world.
@I'm Not Suhas Why do you have to explain for them and why do you think your explanation is correct. Why can’t somebody just express how they feel without “know it all’s” like you interfering.
We were in down town L.A. in 2002 . One shop owner asked us , if we knew Raj Kapoor. When we said we shared the same neighborhood . He said , he was in Israel during his growing up days and never missed movies Raj Kapoor made ! Somebody , who does not speak Hindi recalled after almost five decades . This is what the one and only showman of Hindi movies has been and remain so forever ! Would strongly recommend to all who are yet to enjoy , please do it now. There has been nothing like his movies !
The songs from that era, it was all in lyrics.. lyrics were the soul of any song and everything had a deep meaning.. it made you think.. 7:00 thats sanjay Dutt's mother..
The film catapulted Raj Kapoor to another level of film making. Both Awara and Sree 420 were appreciated and recognized across Russia and Europe, winning international acclaim. One can only hope that every generation makes an effort to watch this film
Guys , why do you forget these things like Raj Kapoor is father of Rishi Kapoor and grandfather of Ranbir Kapoor , just few videos back you guys forgot who Rishi Kapoor is🤷♂️
My fav part of this song is from 6:40 to 7:00, how the song reaches from Raj Kapoor to Nargis, with different people singing it and carrying it forward to Nargis. You should definitely watch Shree 420, Chori Chori, Jagte Raho, Awara, and many more such gems by Raj Kapoor. Fun fact: Raj Kapoor is an alumni of the same school I studied in, Antonio De Souza High School, Mumbai and the school can be seen in Ranbir Kapoor's Sadda Haq song (the church and the school in the background).
It wud have been great if subbers can write the name of the actors whenever they are shown in song atleast once . Like Sanjay Dutts mother or Ranbir Kapoors Grand father
He is the grandad Kapoor for Ranbir Kapoor, Karishma kapoor, Kareena Kapoor. He the one who stabilized Kapoors as legit royalty in the world of cinema. He is the father of rishi kapoor. He directed movies that touched social topics and was considered one of the best directions. He has received award for lifetime achievement. He touched on social topics such as urbanization at the cost of the poor, widow remarriage, and stigma. He was considered visionary director and a good actor. He had a knack for using music in his movies in amazing style. Although his father was in the movies, nobody could meet the level of competence, technique and fame he achieved in his lifetime. He was loved across Russia (old soviet union) for his movies that had a pro-people message. His songs were sung in Soviet-era
The legendary Raj Kapoor. one of the truest India's greatest along with Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar. Yes, Rajesh Khanna experienced stardom like no other then Amitabh Bachchan became the biggest name but no one will ever touch the legacy of Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar.
The film is definitely worth watching , I think it’s safe too say this is the most popular film of the 1950s in India , and the highlight of raj Kapoors career , raj kapoor is widely regarded as one of if not the greatest showman of India’s classical era , the biggest film of the 1960s was Guide which ft Dev Anand and Waheeda Rahman , and Sholay ofc was the 1970s film that dominated
"Ramiah Vastaviayya" or "రామయ్య వస్తవయ్యా" Song is from Raj Kapoor’s “Awara” film. It is a matter of surprise how can Telugu words have become beginning (పల్లవి ) of a Hindi song. There’s a story behind it. When RK started making of this film,”Awara”, the music team used to go to Khandala to make songs. During such trips to Khandala by all the four (Shanker,Jaikishan, Shailendra and Hazrat Jaipuri ) they, used to stop at a roadside hotel for chai and snacks etc. There was working, a Telugu person called “Ramaiah”. Shanker used to talk to him in Telugu and give order to him only, not to anyone else. Shanker knows Telugu very well as he was born and lived in Hyderabad ,though they are originally from UP. On such one visit to hotel, Shanker called Ramaiah to take the order. Ramaiah signalled him to wait as he was busy with some other customers. As there was some delay in his coming, Shanker became little impatient and started humming “Ramaiah Vastavayya” Ramaiah Vastavaiayya” calling Ramaiah to come quickly. To his words Jaikishan started making tabla sounds on the serving table. This went on for a while, Hasrat got bored by this repetition snd said to Shanker “only this much, nothing more? ”.then Shaiedra immediately added “ mainey dil tujhko Diya “ meaning "I have given my heart to you". When both lines sung together, they thought this could be a song, if continued further. After some time Ramaiah came, took the order and served. These lines and tune was told to RK, he was very impressed and accepted . He created a situation and lyrics were written keeping these lines intact. They wanted to replace “Ramaiah Vastavayya “line with some Hindi words, but no suitable line was found and no one was happy replacing it. So, they retained original Telugu words, even though Hindi audiences did not understand its meaning. This song was super hit and considered as one of the best songs in the Hindi film music.
God damn it Rick! Watch Sri420. It's a classic. And by the way, it's not that the actor looks like Ranbir Kapoor. He's Raj Kapoor and he is THE Kapoor. His father Prithviraj Kapoor started the Kapoor dynasty of Bollywood.
రామయ్యా వస్తావయ్యా.... రామయ్యా వస్తావయ్యా... मैंने दिल तुझको दिया नैनों में थी प्यार की रोशनी तेरी आँखों में ये दुनियादारी ना थी तू और था, तेरा दिल और था तेरे मन में ये मीठी कटारी ना थी मैं जो दुःख पाऊँ तो क्या आज पछताऊँ तो क्या मैंने दिल तुझको...
Ramayya Vastawaiyya = Lord Ram will you come.... something like that because its Telugu language words in a main stream Bollywood Raj Kapoor's movie... Maybe Raj Kapoor's interest or Tollywood Influence on some movies in Bollywood
Super classic song to react to. Raj Kapoor is Rishi Kapoor's father Rabbir Kapoor's kareena's and karishma's grand father Nargis Sunil Dutt wife is Sanjay Dutt's mother. The whole black and white vibes are so romantic 👍
He didn't like first celebration as it had all fake smiles and selfish people He liked the other celebration as people were genuine and they were happy in real sense. Their affection was real. Hence he could correlate with hem better.
"Ramayya Vastavayya" is a Telugu call, "Ramayya! Why don't you come (back)". The setting is Mumbai city where ordinary Telugu speaking labour live in a low-level part of city.
He is the KAPOOR, because of his stardom the Kapoor family exists in Bollywood and after seeing his work and heroes like Devanand and others, the Amitabh will not even consider to the top list. When ever you praise Amitabh we will laugh at your innocent ignorance 😂😂😂 that you have not seen the big Bollywood picture...
I'd say for more Raj Kapoor and Nargis, watch Awara. But since you already seem to have forgotten who Raj Kapoor is after watching so many things with him (not just Ranbir's grandfather but one of the pillars of Hindi cinema), as well as didn't even comment on Nargis whom you loved in Mother India, I don't know if I should even bother lol. I should just be grateful you found time for a classic despite 3 obligatory Prabhu Deva videos a week. Oh boy! In fact, after this completely disconnected reaction, I am not sure I want you guys to watch any classics at all :))
"Gaa mere maan gaa " film Lajwanti is another song you should react to. The lyrics is full of a negative situation extolling you to live through the negativity. Wonderful song and dance.
What other classics should we watch?

Socialism is shit anyway
So satisfied with your description. I like Rajkapoor and his films so much. Thank you.
He doesn't love the rich woman. She is a gambler and they both con people.

Go to Russia and former Soviet states and you'll realise the impact of Raj Kapoor there. He is huge. The stardom is unparalleled and unfathomable.
Oh yes! Even in Iraq and Ghana! I have colleagues who are from Iraq, Ghana and Russia. They sing his songs all the time when they see me! 😆
Even in Israel
Whole Russia was crazy for this actor, he had a huge fan following in Russia, most of older generation people still know him.
Because most of his films gave a great social(socialist) message and reflected the problems of the poor and the exploitation by the rich
And his films tell and make us think about the social justice
The sentence "Ramayya Vasthavayya" Which means "O dear wouldn't you return? " is from telugu language, the director liked that in telugu so they kept it same wouthout changing it into hindi. So every line in song is in hindi language except the heading line "Ramayya Vasthavayya" ,It's in telugu .
It actually means Lord Rama, you will come.In telugu sometimes we call Lord Rama as Ramayya
A lot of construction workers those days were from Telugu states. Also Shankar was from Hyderabad. When the song was not ryhing they added this it seems
There were many telugu migrant labourers at that time in bombay in the slums
Thrilled to know the fact ! So, happy I m !
Trivia on Mr. Raj Kapoor: he had a huge fan following in Russia apart from India of course. Most fans in Russia thought Mr. Kapoor sang all his songs. They could not believe Mr. Mukesh, a famous playback singer in the 50s was Mr Kapoor s voice in all his songs.

Hence when he left from there, he felt a sense of renunciation from that material environment, he was fed up. Whereas he felt lovely connection at village(basti). He felt soulful connection. Hence the song is about "won't you return?", it is actually talking about his return and his regret that he left at first place in attraction of money, but felt no love there, but materlism, hence a sudden renunciation caused him to return to his roots.
PS : westners have difficulty understanding renunciation, I have seen it. People cry over this song as if some loved one who left, realises his mistake and comes back. Subah ka bhula sham ko ghar aa jaye to use bhula nhi kehte.
Very well articulated...
The beauty of this song in untouched 🤞❤️🥺
To Rick :
- That lady dancer (Nadira) at the start is perhaps the only Indian Jewish who made it big in films.
- 420 is not MJ in this context, it loosely translates to con artist here.
How is 420 related to Michael Jackson?
@@sayansingha6370 Marijuana, not Michael.
@@maverick20137 Oh ok😂😂😂
Thank God y'all didn't think Mary Jane😂
@@Fidah I was actually thinking about that too, but it didn't make sense😂😂
Wait, did I see another classic??!!
Oh my-
Lol This is why I absolutely LOVE this channel😂❤️❤️❤️
Edit- Aw c'mon guys! It's soo heartbreaking when u don't recognize the people in the video despite seeing them so many times 😕😕. Didn't u guys recognize Nargis from Mother India? And the entire family tree of Raj Kapoor has been drawn out in the comments several times... I can feel the disappointment of every golden era fan 😔 **sigh**
Lol the smell of disappointment is strong today. But at least it's predictable now. These days, I expect to be disappointed :)
damn that range of rafi saheb..could have easily touched F# with ease..
Isnt the male singer mukesh?
@@alkaverma7133 yes the playback for Raj Kapoor was Mukesh..but the play back for street guy singing was rafi..
You can also react to Dilka haal sune dilwala from this film.. Actually every song of this film is itself a classic
* Ichak daana bichak daana
* Mud mud ke naa dekh
* pyaar hua ikrar hua
* dil ka haal sune dilwaala..
Raj Kapoor and Nargis were in a relationship for many years while he was married. He wud never leave his wife. In 1956 Nargis refused to work with him again and stopped the relationship and went to do 'Mother India' and her love story with Suni Dutt began while filming during the film and the rest was history. Even in his film 'Mera Naam Joker' my favourite of Raj Kapoor he played a part of Shree 420 scenes in a song called. 'Kehta hai joker' 1968. He never wanted the relationship to end, but she had to move on ..
Raj kapoor is Ranbir, karishma and kareena kapoor’s grandpa, their whole family is in movies, even Raj kapoor’s father, prithvi Raj kapoor was the popular actor
India's 4 legendary singers are sing this beautiful song
Mohd. Rafi
Lata
Mukesh
Mannadey
My favourite ❣️
Every time I hear "Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya, Maine Dil Tujhko Diya", I expect it to be followed by the lines "Saale ne waapas kiya"!!! That's what we sang in school!
Song is sung by legendary Lata Mangeshkar. Male lead and Director of the movie is legendary Raj Kapoor, grandfather of Ranbeer Kapoor. Female lead is Nargis, mother of Sanjay Dutt.
This song is a must in every DHOLKI or MEHENDI function here in Pakistan. What pure lyrics and melody.
Prithviraj (Mugal E Azzam) father of Raj (Shammi and Shashi are brothers) Father of Rishi Father of Ranbir. Kareena and Karisma are Raj 's Grandaughters by Randhir (Rishi's Brother) Soon you will have it all memorized!
You are recently digging old gold's and I m enjoying it✌️✌️✌️♥️
All time favourite song ....thanks for reacting to this one❤️❤️❤️
I recommend you to watch this movie.. Raj Kapoor(popularly known as the showman of Indian cinema) had a major following not only in India but also many abroad countries like Russia! You can see many of his movies like Aawara, Mera naam Joker and many more all are masterpieces..
I also want you to explore many other movies of those time they had fantastic story,music,dance everything was mesmerizing
Guys its terrible that you don't understand the greatness of this song. Don't just go by the word in the lyrics, understand the metaphor of each words in that lyrics. This song has great depth and meaning. This song is written by the great writer Shailendra .
Unfortunately, predictably terrible these days :(
And yet instead of trying to understand they waste half of their time commenting about curt wheeling.
I think once they see the full movie, they will have a deeper understanding of the meaning of the beautiful lyrics. Remember, they are not used to these kinds of old meaningful Indian songs and films. And also they do not speak the language which makes it difficult to understand at a deeper level when it is translated from another perspective. 🙂
When the elders in the family play antakshri, this song is within the first 5 to 10 songs in the game.
The love interest of raj kapoor in this song is the famous actress of her time ......Nargis , mother of Sanjay Dutt . Raj kapoor is Ranveer kappor’s paternal grandfather.
Sahib Bibi aur ghulam is what you should be watching and then reviewing ...... this movie stars the legendary actress Meena Kumari, Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman ! A great classic, winning several awards in its time and has some beautiful music as well .
Ranbir not Ranveer right?
@@jilljacobson13 .......My apologies !!💖
This is MUST WATCH CLASSIC
50s,60s is gold. raj kapoor, Dilip Kumar,dev anand, Madhubala,Nargis,vajantimala,nutan,meena kumari so great full.that time more concept movies more made
Song by all legends of bollywood...Lata...Rafi...Raj kapoor..Nargis
This day I learned what does Ramaiya vastavaiya actually mean.. Thanks subbers😅😅😅😅
Ramayya vastavayya (lord rama will u come) its telugu word😇
@@ravankumar8331 thanks😊
Absolutely watch it... it was one of the very first "globally" acclaimed Indian films.. along with Awara. Both, incidentally, directed by Raj Kapoor.
This film is a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Full of emotions full of feeling what a song it was
This film and this song is one of the master piece by Raj Kapoor. The film speaks volumes about poverty and exploitation in India but gives it a global language. You must watch this film. This is the film what made Raj Kapoor what he was. A great showman. If possible you should watch all the Raj Kapoor movies.
This might be slightly controversial, given how much people seem to enjoy this spectacle. But I will be straightforward and say it, there are somethings that just don’t translate and travel. This is not “Bollywood party song”, these are songs and cinema that made India a nation, gave it it’s veryethos. This is not Bollywood, Hell the term Bollywood did not exist then, this is an exercise in Nation Building. These are movies made right after India became Independent.
To be honest, you need to understand basics in India music to understand the basic sorrow in the tune. While that people are dancing, it is all Melancholia, and you don’t need the lyrics to understand it. This is a masterclass in Indian music, ethos, culture everything.
Raj Kapoor is a giant, any ‘Cinema” lover would know when to shutup and throw their assumptions about the craft and the technicalities out and just feel.
I am personally fed up, with seeing such thing being reviewed. The palette is just not there.
Not at all controversial, all completely true. But unfortunately this comment is too lovely, knowledgeable and insightful to be understood by 90% of people here or Indians in general today, let alone american reactors. Not that they are bothering to read or understand anyways :)
But thanks for chiming in, it's good to know at least some people know and understand this. There have been a handful of commenters in the videos who have tried to give deeper insights like this over months. But deaf ears and all that!
Instead of taking feel of such a meldious song, dont know why you guys keep on laughing..This is not only song but our best of Golden era. You need to read background of the song before reacting. My geniun n friendly advice.
I feel disappointed too. I think its easy for them to relate to surprising or funny or something that pumps up the adrenaline but not plain sounding songs ...plain to the Western world.
@I'm Not Suhas
Why do you have to explain for them and why do you think your explanation is correct. Why can’t somebody just express how they feel without “know it all’s” like you interfering.
We were in down town L.A. in 2002 . One shop owner asked us , if we knew Raj Kapoor. When we said we shared the same neighborhood . He said , he was in Israel during his growing up days and never missed movies Raj Kapoor made ! Somebody , who does not speak Hindi recalled after almost five decades . This is what the one and only showman of Hindi movies has been and remain so forever ! Would strongly recommend to all who are yet to enjoy , please do it now. There has been nothing like his movies !
The songs from that era, it was all in lyrics.. lyrics were the soul of any song and everything had a deep meaning.. it made you think..
7:00 thats sanjay Dutt's mother..
The film catapulted Raj Kapoor to another level of film making. Both Awara and Sree 420 were appreciated and recognized across Russia and Europe, winning international acclaim. One can only hope that every generation makes an effort to watch this film
Guys , why do you forget these things like Raj Kapoor is father of Rishi Kapoor and grandfather of Ranbir Kapoor , just few videos back you guys forgot who Rishi Kapoor is🤷♂️
Chill. They are just earning money from Indian contents. Nothing else
His elder son -randhir kapoor father of karishma kapoor n Kareena Kapoor
His younger son - rishi kapoor father of ranbhir kapoor
Give an award to the guy who subbed this song for you. No one could have done a better job translating that so beautifully.
My fav part of this song is from 6:40 to 7:00, how the song reaches from Raj Kapoor to Nargis, with different people singing it and carrying it forward to Nargis. You should definitely watch Shree 420, Chori Chori, Jagte Raho, Awara, and many more such gems by Raj Kapoor.
Fun fact: Raj Kapoor is an alumni of the same school I studied in, Antonio De Souza High School, Mumbai and the school can be seen in Ranbir Kapoor's Sadda Haq song (the church and the school in the background).
It wud have been great if subbers can write the name of the actors whenever they are shown in song atleast once . Like Sanjay Dutts mother or Ranbir Kapoors Grand father
Best Indian film ever. Highly recommended. Stands up very well. Especially since the occupy movement. Well ahead of its time
His acting in mere Nam joker & Sangam was awesome..touched my heart 😢
My father says, Raj Kapoor was loved in Russia
Mr. 420 - Master class by Great showman 'Raj Kapoor'❤❤
Finally!!!!!!!!! My favourite song..
My favourite song 😍😍😍💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️
He is the grandad Kapoor for Ranbir Kapoor, Karishma kapoor, Kareena Kapoor. He the one who stabilized Kapoors as legit royalty in the world of cinema. He is the father of rishi kapoor. He directed movies that touched social topics and was considered one of the best directions. He has received award for lifetime achievement. He touched on social topics such as urbanization at the cost of the poor, widow remarriage, and stigma. He was considered visionary director and a good actor. He had a knack for using music in his movies in amazing style. Although his father was in the movies, nobody could meet the level of competence, technique and fame he achieved in his lifetime. He was loved across Russia (old soviet union) for his movies that had a pro-people message. His songs were sung in Soviet-era
Raj ji and Nargis ji the best. Evergreen music 🙏🏻❤️
The legendary Raj Kapoor. one of the truest India's greatest along with Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar. Yes, Rajesh Khanna experienced stardom like no other then Amitabh Bachchan became the biggest name but no one will ever touch the legacy of Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar.
The film is definitely worth watching , I think it’s safe too say this is the most popular film of the 1950s in India , and the highlight of raj Kapoors career , raj kapoor is widely regarded as one of if not the greatest showman of India’s classical era , the biggest film of the 1960s was Guide which ft Dev Anand and Waheeda Rahman , and Sholay ofc was the 1970s film that dominated
"Ramiah Vastaviayya" or "రామయ్య వస్తవయ్యా" Song is from Raj Kapoor’s “Awara” film. It is a matter of surprise how can Telugu words have become beginning (పల్లవి ) of a Hindi song. There’s a story behind it. When RK started making of this film,”Awara”, the music team used to go to Khandala to make songs. During such trips to Khandala by all the four (Shanker,Jaikishan, Shailendra and Hazrat Jaipuri ) they, used to stop at a roadside hotel for chai and snacks etc. There was working, a Telugu person called “Ramaiah”. Shanker used to talk to him in Telugu and give order to him only, not to anyone else. Shanker knows Telugu very well as he was born and lived in Hyderabad ,though they are originally from UP. On such one visit to hotel, Shanker called Ramaiah to take the order. Ramaiah signalled him to wait as he was busy with some other customers. As there was some delay in his coming, Shanker became little impatient and started humming “Ramaiah Vastavayya” Ramaiah Vastavaiayya” calling Ramaiah to come quickly. To his words Jaikishan started making tabla sounds on the serving table. This went on for a while, Hasrat got bored by this repetition snd said to Shanker “only this much, nothing more? ”.then Shaiedra immediately added “ mainey dil tujhko Diya “ meaning "I have given my heart to you". When both lines sung together, they thought this could be a song, if continued further. After some time Ramaiah came, took the order and served. These lines and tune was told to RK, he was very impressed and accepted . He created a situation and lyrics were written keeping these lines intact. They wanted to replace “Ramaiah Vastavayya “line with some Hindi words, but no suitable line was found and no one was happy replacing it. So, they retained original Telugu words, even though Hindi audiences did not understand its meaning. This song was super hit and considered as one of the best songs in the Hindi film music.
Raj Kapoor Was most loved in Russia (Soviet union) then India...
Great lyrics by Shailandra Ji 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
God damn it Rick! Watch Sri420. It's a classic. And by the way, it's not that the actor looks like Ranbir Kapoor. He's Raj Kapoor and he is THE Kapoor. His father Prithviraj Kapoor started the Kapoor dynasty of Bollywood.
Yes you should definitely watch this movie... as well as Awara - possibly two of Raj Kapoor's best movies!
రామయ్యా వస్తావయ్యా....
రామయ్యా వస్తావయ్యా...
मैंने दिल तुझको दिया
नैनों में थी प्यार की रोशनी
तेरी आँखों में ये दुनियादारी ना थी
तू और था, तेरा दिल और था
तेरे मन में ये मीठी कटारी ना थी
मैं जो दुःख पाऊँ तो क्या
आज पछताऊँ तो क्या
मैंने दिल तुझको...
This song is my father’s favorite ....🥺☺️
Ramayya Vastawaiyya = Lord Ram will you come.... something like that because its Telugu language words in a main stream Bollywood Raj Kapoor's movie... Maybe Raj Kapoor's interest or Tollywood Influence on some movies in Bollywood
Super classic song to react to.
Raj Kapoor is Rishi Kapoor's father Rabbir Kapoor's kareena's and karishma's grand father
Nargis Sunil Dutt wife is Sanjay Dutt's mother.
The whole black and white vibes are so romantic 👍
Greatest lyrics, written by the great sheilendra
You should watch this particular movie.. Relatable to this day..
A genuinely great film... you guys would like it for sure
He didn't like first celebration as it had all fake smiles and selfish people
He liked the other celebration as people were genuine and they were happy in real sense. Their affection was real. Hence he could correlate with hem better.
Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi and Mukesh
"Ramayya Vastavayya" is a Telugu call, "Ramayya! Why don't you come (back)". The setting is Mumbai city where ordinary Telugu speaking labour live in a low-level part of city.
the music of such songs still alive, than recent songs
Excellent
That's our heart touching song
This movie is MUST watch .. go for it guys.
This song spoke about humanity.
Nargis was the lead actress in Mother India...
Thalaivan goundermani ... Version
Raamaiyya vastavaiyya.... Raamaiyya vastavaiyya ....
Pondaatti thedudhaiyya ...
Pondaatti thedudhaiyya ...
Tere mere tujhko daiyyaa...
Tere mere tujhko daiyyaa...
Bollywoods greatest classics 👍👍
Definetly watch this one and Boot Polish. So many to choose...
😂 remember the Titanic first class party vs the third class poor people's party? Opulence vs happiness. This is it
He is the KAPOOR, because of his stardom the Kapoor family exists in Bollywood and after seeing his work and heroes like Devanand and others, the Amitabh will not even consider to the top list. When ever you praise Amitabh we will laugh at your innocent ignorance 😂😂😂 that you have not seen the big Bollywood picture...
He (Raj Kapoor) is Karishma, Kareena & Ranbir Kapoor's paternal grandfather. And the actress (Nargis) is Sanjay Dutt's mother.
I'd say for more Raj Kapoor and Nargis, watch Awara. But since you already seem to have forgotten who Raj Kapoor is after watching so many things with him (not just Ranbir's grandfather but one of the pillars of Hindi cinema), as well as didn't even comment on Nargis whom you loved in Mother India, I don't know if I should even bother lol. I should just be grateful you found time for a classic despite 3 obligatory Prabhu Deva videos a week. Oh boy! In fact, after this completely disconnected reaction, I am not sure I want you guys to watch any classics at all :))
Loved your satirical take...fact too..
They need to cater to their newly found fanatic fan base 😄

@@hgravi Which is fine. But while watching, at least pay attention.
Ramayya vastavayya is a telugu phrase 🤔
What does it means?
@@swatisaini6447 ramayya vastavayya means 'Ramayya would you come? ', didn't you saw subtitles in this video?
Yes
@@mr.unknown8478 the translation is that of a Hindi song. U claim it's a Telugu phrase. So obviously I am asking for meaning in telugu
@@swatisaini6447 they have used the Telugu phrase in this Hindi movie so anyways the translation is going to be same na?
It’s a beautiful film
"Gaa mere maan gaa " film Lajwanti is another song you should react to. The lyrics is full of a negative situation extolling you to live through the negativity.
Wonderful song and dance.
