Aag (1948)


About:
This is the first film directed by bollywood legendary actor and director Raj Kapoor under RK Films established by him. He did an excellent job with every single thing. While watching the film you could hardly guess that this might be the first movie directed by Raj Kapoor. The opening sequence when he's walking upstairs.the camera angles that were used were brilliantly done. Nargis has given the class performance in the movie.

Synopsis:
Kewal (Raj Kapoor) reluctantly accepts his father (Kamal Kapoor)'s demands to continue the family tradition by studying law and become a successful lawyer just like him. However due to a lack of interest in becoming a lawyer and more interest in opening up his own theatre company, he fails his law exams and is thrown out of the house by his father. Luckily he finds a patron of the arts Rajan, (Premnath) who is the owner of a closen down theatrical company. A childhood romance with a girl named Nimmi haunts his fantasies, and Kewal searches for her in other women, even renaming them after his former sweetheart. With a theater, a play and a feminine image in his mind, he discovers a woman made homeless by Partition (Nargis) and the play of his dreams can at last be written and performed.
