New Delhi: The Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) on Sunday said the retrospective celebrating the birth centenary of screen icon Raj Kapoor will continue till December 19 due to public demand.

The three-day event, which began a day before Raj Kapoor’s 100th birth anniversary on December 14, was previously scheduled to conclude on December 15.

“Extended due to public demand! ‘Raj Kapoor 100 – Celebrating the Centenary of the Greatest Showman’ will now continue till December 19, 2024!” the FHF wrote on X.

Viewers will be able to watch five of the actor-filmmakers classics “Awara”, “Shree 420”, “Sangam”, “Mera Naam Joker” and “Bobby” in limited cinemas nearby, the Mumbai-based foundation added in the post.

Other Raj Kapoor films that were screened as part of the retrospective were: “Aag”, “Barsaat”, “Jagte Raho”, “Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai”, and “Ram Teri Ganga Maili”.

Raj Kapoor’s grandson and Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor announced the ‘Raj Kapoor 100 – Celebrating the Centenary of the Greatest Showman’ gala at the International Film Festival of India in Goa last month.
