Mohammed Yusuf Khan () () (born 11 December 1922), popularly known with nickname Dilip Kumar (), is an Indian actor and a former Member of Parliament. He lives in Pali Hill, Bandra in Mumbai, India. He is commonly known as "Tragedy King", and is described as "the ultimate method actor" by Satyajit Ray.

Starting his career in 1944, Kumar's career has spanned five decades and over 60 films. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest actors in the history of Hindi Cinema. Kumar was the first actor to receive a Filmfare Best Actor Award and holds the record for the most number of Filmfare Awards won for that category along with Shahrukh Khan; 8 wins. He starred in a wide variety of roles such as the romantic ''Andaz'' (1949), the swashbuckling ''Aan'' (1952), the dramatic ''Devdas'' (1955), the comical ''Azaad'' (1955), the historical ''Mughal-e-Azam'' (1960) and the social ''Ganga Jamuna'' (1961). In 1976, Kumar had a five-year break from film performances. In 1981, he returned with a character role in the film ''Kranti'' and continued his career playing central character roles in films such as ''Shakti'' (1982), ''Karma'' (1986) and ''Saudagar'' (1991). His last film was ''Qila'' in 1998. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan in 1991 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994 for his contributions towards Indian cinema.

Early life

Dilip Kumar was born Muhammad Yusuf Khan at Mohallah Khudadad, in Qissa Khwani Bazaar in Peshawar, British India (now Pakistan). He was born to a Hindko-speaking Peshawari family with twelve children. His father, Lala Ghulam Sarwar, was a fruit merchant who owned large orchards in Peshawar and Deolali in Maharashtra near Nashik. The family relocated to Bombay (now Mumbai) in the 1930s and in the early 1940s Yusuf Khan moved to Pune and started a canteen business and supplying dried fruits.

In 1943, actress Devika Rani, who was also the wife of the founder of the Bombay Talkies film studio, Himanshu Rai, helped Khan's entry into the Bollywood film industry. Hindi Author Bhagwati Charan Varma gave him the screen name Dilip Kumar and gave him the leading role in his film ''Jwar Bhata'' (1944). Devika Rani and her husband Svetoslav Roerich spotted Khan in one of Pune's Aundh military canteens.

Career

His first film with Nisar Bhai and Hamed Bhai ''Jwar Bhata'' was released in 1944 which went unnoticed. His first major hit was the 1947 film ''Jugnu''. He appeared in many hits thereafter including the romantic melodramas ''Mela'' (1948), ''Andaz'' (1949), ''Deedar'' (1951), ''Daag'' (1954), ''Devdas'' (1955), ''Yahudi'' (1958) and ''Madhumati'' (1958). These films established his screen image as the "Tragedy King".

He also played lighthearted roles in films such as ''Aan'' (1952), ''Azaad'' (1955) and ''Kohinoor'' (1960). In 1960 he portrayed Prince Salim in the historical film ''Mughal-e-Azam'' which as of 2008 was the second highest grossing film in Hindi film history.

In 1961 he produced and starred in ''Ganga Jamuna'' in which he and his real-life brother Nasir Khan played the title roles. This was the only film he produced. In 1962 British director David Lean offered him the role of Sherif Ali in his 1962 film ''Lawrence of Arabia'', but Kumar declined the part. The role eventually went to Omar Sharif, the Egyptian actor. His next film ''Leader'' (1964) was below average at the box office. In 1967 Dilip Kumar played a dual role of twins separated at birth in the hit film ''Ram Aur Shyam''. His career slumped in the 1970s with films like ''Dastaan'' (1970) and ''Bairaag'' (1976) where he played triple roles failing at the box office. He took a five year hiatus from films from 1976 to 1981.

In 1981 he returned with the multi-starrer ''Kranti'' which was the biggest hit of the year. He went onto play character roles in hit films including ''Shakti'' (1982), ''Vidhaata'' (1982), ''Mashaal'' (1984) and ''Karma'' (1986). In 1991 he starred alongside veteran actor Raaj Kumar in ''Saudagar'' which was his last successful film. In 1993 he won the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award. In 1996 he was attached to make his directorial debut with a film titled ''Kalinga'' but the film was shelved. In 1998 he made his last film appearance in the unsuccessful film '' Qila'' where once again he played dual roles as an evil landowner and his twin brother investigating his death. His films ''Mughal-E-Azam'' and ''Naya Daur'' were fully colorized and re-released in 2004 and 2008 respectively.

Public life

Kumar has been active in efforts to bring the people of India and Pakistan closer together. He has been a member of the upper house of Parliament since 2000.

He was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994. In 1998 he was awarded the ''Nishan-e-Pakistan'', the highest civilian award conferred by the government of Pakistan. He is the second Indian to receive the award. At the time of the Kargil War, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray demanded Kumar return his ''Nishan-e-Pakistan'', arguing that "He must return ''Nishan-e-Imtiaz'' following that country's blatant aggression on Indian soil." Kumar refused, saying:

'''

"This award was given to me for the humane activities to which I have dedicated myself. I have worked for the poor, I have worked for many years to bridge the cultural and communal gaps between India and Pakistan. Politics and religion have created these boundaries. I have striven to bring the two people together in whatever way I could. Tell me, what does any of this have to do with the Kargil conflict?"

'''

Personal life

Kumar married actress and beauty queen Saira Banu in year 1966 when he was aged 44 and she was 22. His brothers are Nasir Khan, Ehsan Khan and Aslam Khan. Kumar's younger brother Nasir Khan was also an actor and appeared opposite him in ''Ganga Jamuna'' (1961) and ''Bairaag'' (1976).

Legacy and awards

Dilip Kumar is widely considered to be one of the greatest actors in the history of Hindi Cinema. Kumar holds the ''Guinness World Record'' for having won the maximum number of awards by an Indian actor. He has received many awards throughout his career, including 8 Filmfare Award for Best Actor awards and 19 nominations. He was honoured with the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993. The Government of India honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994 - the highest award for cinematic excellence in India. In 1980, he was appointed Sheriff of Mumbai, an honorary position. In 1991, he was awarded Padma Bhushan from the Government of India. In 1997, Kumar was awarded, ''Nishan-e-Imtiaz'', Pakistan's highest civilian award.

He received in 1997 the NTR National Award. He was also awarded CNN-IBN Indian of the Year - Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009.

Ranbirraj "Raj" Kapoor (, , Punjabi: ਰਾਜ ਕਪੂਰ, Rāj Kapūr, 14 December 1924 – 2 June 1988), also known as ''The Show-Man'', was an Indian film actor, producer and director of Hindi cinema. He was the winner of nine Filmfare Awards, while his films ''Awaara'' (1951) and ''Boot Polish'' (1954) were nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. His performance in ''Awaara'', was ranked one of the "Top-Ten Performances of all time", by the Time Magazine. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan in 1971 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1987 for his contributions towards Indian cinema.

Early life and Background

Raj Kapoor was born in Peshawar, British India (present day Pakistan), to actor Prithviraj Kapoor and Ramsarni (Rama) Devi Kapoor (née Mehra). He was the eldest of six children in a Punjabi family. He was the grandson of Dewan Basheshwarnath Kapoor and great-grandson of Dewan Keshavmal Kapoor, part of the famous Kapoor family. Two of Raj's brothers are actors Shashi Kapoor (a.k.a. Balbir Raj Kapoor) and the late Shammi Kapoor (aka Shamsher Raj Kapoor); the other two died in infancy. He also had a sister named Urmila Sial.

Raj Kapoor attended Colonel Brown Cambridge School, Dehradun in the 1930s.

Career

At the age of eleven, he appeared in films for the first time, in the 1935 film ''Inquilab''. After acting in several other films the next 12 years, Raj Kapoor's big break came with the lead role in ''Neel Kamal'' (1947) opposite Madhubala in her first role as a leading lady. In 1948, at the age of twenty-four, he established his own studio, R. K. Films, and became the youngest film director of his time making his directorial debut with the film ''Aag''. ''Aag'' marked the first of many films in which he and Nargis appeared together. In 1949 he co-starred alongside Dilip Kumar in Mehboob Khan's blockbuster ''Andaz'' which was his first major success as an actor.

He went on to produce, direct and star in many box office hits such as ''Barsaat'' (1949), ''Awaara'' (1951), ''Shree 420'' (1955), ''Chori Chori'' (1956), ''Jagte Raho'' (1956) and ''Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai'' (1960). These films established his screen image as The Tramp modeled on Charlie Chaplin's most famous screen persona. In 1964 he produced, directed and starred in ''Sangam'' which was his first film in colour. This was his last major success as a leading actor. Outisde of his home productions his other notable films were ''Anari'' (1959), ''Chhalia'' (1960) and ''Teesri Kasam'' (1963). He produced, directed and starred in his ambitious film, ''Mera Naam Joker'' (My name is Joker), which took more than six years to complete. When released in 1970, it was a box office disaster.

In 1971 he launched his eldest son Randhir Kapoor in Randhir's acting and directorial debut ''Kal Aaj Aur Kal'' which also starred Raj's father Prithviraj Kapoor as well as Randhir's would-be-wife Babita. He launched his second son Rishi Kapoor's career when he produced and directed ''Bobby'' (1973) which was not only a huge box office success but also introduced actress Dimple Kapadia, later a very popular actress, and was the first of a new generation of teen romances. Dimple wore bikinis in the film which was quite unique for Indian films then.

In the latter half of the 1970s and early 1980s he produced and directed films which focused on the female protagonists: ''Satyam Shivam Sundaram'' (1978) with Zeenat Aman, ''Prem Rog'' (1982) with Padmini Kolhapure and ''Ram Teri Ganga Maili'' (1985) which introduced Mandakini. He acted in fewer films by the late 1970s and early 1980s and focused on producing and directing films. He starred alongside Rajesh Khanna in ''Naukri'' (1979) and played the title role alongside Sanjay Khan in ''Abdullah'' (1980).

Raj Kapoor's last major film appearance was in ''Vakil Babu'' (1982) where he appeared with his younger brother Shashi. His last acting role was a cameo appearance in a 1984 released British made-for-television film titled ''Kim''.

Death

Raj Kapoor suffered from asthma in his later years; he died of complications related to asthma in 1988 at the age of 63. At the time of his death, he was working on the movie ''Heena'' (an Indo-Pakistan based love story). The film was later completed by his sons Randhir and Rishi Kapoor, and narrated by his brother Shammi Kapoor. The movie was released in 1991 and became a huge success at the Box Office. When he was given the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, where his brothers Shashi Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor were also present, the crowd was clapping around when President Venkataraman, who saw Kapoor's discomfort, came down the stage to give the award to the legend in the middle of thundering claps where he was breathing his last breath. And suddenly Kapoor collapsed, and was rushed to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences for treatment. The country's top cardiologists tried their best, but could not save him.

Legacy

Raj Kapoor is appreciated both by film critics and ordinary film fans. Film historians and movie buffs speak of him as the "Charlie Chaplin of Indian cinema," since he often portrayed a tramp-like figure, who, despite adversity, was still cheerful and honest. His fame spread worldwide. He was adored by audiences in large parts of Africa, the Middle East, the former Soviet Union, China, and Southeast Asia; his movies were global commercial successes. Raj had the knack of getting the best out of any one, since he had mastered all departments of film making and even marketing them. When Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru died in 1964 coinciding with release of Sangam, he took the opportunity to create a scene when Gopal ashes were immersed in Ganges, like Pandit Nehru described in his poetic will. His films reflected the Era in which it was made.

He had a great understanding of the public taste and a great sense of Box-Office. He was one of the pioneers of the Indian cinema, who talked about the potential of Hindi cinema emerging as a great revenue earner from the world market in fifties, which has become a reality today.

Many of Raj Kapoor's movies had a patriotic theme. His films ''Aag'', ''Shree 420'' and ''Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai'' (In the country where the Ganges flows) celebrated the newly independent India, and encouraged film-goers to be patriots. Raj Kapoor commissioned these famous lyrics for ''Mera Joota Hai Japani'', a song from the movie ''Shree 420'':

: ''Mera joota hai Japani'' (My shoes are Japanese) : ''Ye patloon Inglistani'' (These trousers are English) : ''Sar pe lal topi Roosi'' (The red cap on my head is Russian) : ''Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani'' (But still, however, my heart is Indian)

The song is still extremely popular and has been featured in a number of movies since ''Shree 420'' was released. Indian author Mahasweta Devi stopped the show with her inaugural speech at the 2006 Frankfurt Book Fair when she used these lyrics to express her own heartfelt patriotism and debt to her country.

Raj Kapoor was a canny judge of filmi music and lyrics. Many of the songs he commissioned are evergreen hits. He introduced the music directors Shankar-Jaikishan and the lyricists Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra. He is also remembered for his strong sense of visual style. He used striking visual compositions, elaborate sets, and dramatic lighting to complete the mood set by the music. He introduced the actresses Nimmi, Dimple Kapadia, Nargis and Mandakini, as well as launching and reviving the careers of his sons Rishi, Randhir and Rajiv.

Personal life

The Kapoor family hailed from Peshawar and were Hindkowan Punjabis but they were also landowners in the canal colony of Lyallpur, British India, which is now called Faisalabad in the Punjab province of present-day Pakistan where the family lived for a while. He was married to Krishna Kapoor, sister of actors, Rajendra Nath and Prem Nath.

Kapoor is also known to have had a longtime romantic relationship with the renowned actress Nargis during the 1950s. The couple starred in several films together, including ''Awaara'' and ''Shree 420''. Due to the common rumors about the personal lives of entertainment stars it is impossible to separate the truth from gossip in these domains.

Three of Kapoor's grandchildren are currently stars in the Bollywood film industry. His granddaughters are Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, the daughters of Raj's son Randhir Kapoor and his wife Babita. His grandson Ranbir Kapoor, who is the son of Rishi Kapoor and his wife Neetu Singh.

Awards

Kapoor had received many awards throughout his career, including 3 Filmfare Awards and 19 nominations. His films ''Awaara'' (1951) and ''Boot Polish'' (1954) were nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. His acting in the former was rated as one of the "Top-Ten Performances of all time", by the Time Magazine. His film ''Jagte Raho'' (1956) also won the Crystal Globe award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan in 1971 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1987 - the highest award for cinematic excellence in India. In 2001, he was honoured with “Best Director of the Millennium” by Stardust Awards. He was named “Showman of the Millennium” by Star Screen Awards in 2002.

In June 2011, Noah Cowan, Artistic Director of TIFF Bell Lightbox, and Sabbas Joseph, Director, Wizcraft along with members of the Kapoor family came together to pay tribute to the life and work of Indian actor, director, mogul and legend Raj Kapoor, as presented in partnership by TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA), and the Government of Ontario.Indian Mirror

Only after Jaikishan died, did he turn to a different music director - Laxmikant-Pyarelal for ''Bobby'', ''Satyam Shivam Sundaram'', and ''Prem Rog'' (later on his children used Laxmikant-Pyarelal for ''Prem Granth'' also) and Ravindra Jain for (''Ram Teri Ganga Maili'' and ''Henna''). It is interesting to note that Raj Kapoor acted in a movie with music by Madan Mohan only once i.e. ''Dhoon'' (1953) which featured duet ''Hum pyar karenge'' by Hemant Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar, only instance Hemnat Kumar giving playback to Raj Kapoor, and did only one movie with O.
