Anari : Raj Kapoor’s trademark Charlie Chaplin style

Even though Anari is a Hrishikesh Mikherjee’s film I felt as if the film was co-directed by Raj Kapoor as it reminds you so often of his  direction style

Watch this film for its beautiful songs . Watch it for the acting abilities of Nutan , Raj Kapoor as a Charlie Chaplin like tramp . And also for Lalita Pawar and Moti Lal.

Released in 1959 it won five filmfare awards including best actor for Raj Kapoor .

The music is by Shankar Jaikishan a Raj Kapoor favourite . Dil Ki Nazar Se (Mukesh), Who Chand Khila Who Tar Hanse (Mukesh & Lata), Nineteen Fifty Six—(Manna Dey & Lata) , Sab Kuch Sikah Hamne Na Sikhi Hoshiari (Mukesh) .

Banke Panchi Gaya Pyar Ka Tarana (Lata) , Kisi Ki Muskurahaton Se (Mukesh) Tera Jana (Lata) .
