Raj Kapoor's serious ones were very early ones. Jagte Raho, Awara, Sri420. There was also Barsaat, Andaz. Nargis was the heroine in most of them. The songs were so popular in Russia. My Ukrainian son in law can hum a few. The all time favorite song is one which Raj Kapoor sings (actually not him but a playback singer called Mukesh) which says' My shoe is Japanese, my pants are English, the red cap is Russian but the heart is Indian.' Krushchev and Bulganin while visiting India wanted to visit Kapoor studios and meet Raj Kapoor and his father Prithviraj Kapoor.
I like Jagte Raho a lot. And the songs of all the movies.
