My first big screen Raj Kapoor was fantastic! AWAARA never stops entertaining across 3 hours of capitalist critique, melodrama, Chaplinesque comedy, a dancing dream sequence, and some excellent songs. The restoration looks fantastic. Theatre was full and fully engaged. 📽️ #desiwatch

You should check out Awaara. It's a Bollywood movie from the 50s that's got pretty socialist themes.
Also, not to be super pedantic, but RRR isn't Bollywood, it's Tollywood, as it's a Telugu movie from southern India.

Okay she's like smeared in dirt looking godawful for most of Mother India but it's a good movie...
Other than that, Barsaat, Raat Aur Din, maybe Awaara

bc the cinematography tends to be incredible and you have wonderful A.R. Rahman soundtracks to go along with the songs
Classics like Pyaasa/Awaara/Mughal-e-Azam etc. for the perfect fusion of dance w/ quality emotional storytelling
Amrapali - Vvjayanthimala dances some of the best dances ever

Random thing i learn today is that Awaara was Mao Zedong's favorite movie LMAO but also not surprising it appealed to him with its socialist stuff...

No wonder AWAARA was a favorite of socialists and revolutionaries! Makes the spectacle of all Kapoor's descendants kissing the ring of the powers that be even sadder and more ridiculous.
