Where the Ganges Flows

A controversial entry in the Kapoor canon, this film (nominally directed by the studio's cinematographer-in-residence) sees Raju - portrayed this time as at best a naive innocent and at worst a total simpleton - as a pilgrim to the river, lured from religious observances by a tomboyish female bandit. Ardently pursuing her, he bumbles into an outlaw encampment, and attempts to convert the brigands into latter-day Robin Hoods. Kapoor's performance is a constant question mark: is he indeed a fool or is it a put-on? Hilarious; with his cleverest use of (often charmingly raunchy) double entendres.
