Raj Kapoor, the creator of some of Hindi cinema's most enduring classics, is one of the greatest film-makers India has ever produced. As producer, director, actor, editor, storyteller, he blazed a trail for subsequent generations of film-makers to follow and aspire to. He was also known to the world as an extraordinary and controversial showman, an entertainer par excellence, someone who created the template for Hindi cinema. Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman is a unique experiment, both an autobiography and a biography. While the autobiography uses his own words, culled from interviews, journals and anecdotes, to provide an intimate glimpse into the mind of a genius, the biography is an attempt to record for posterity the lesser-known facets of his magnificent personality through the recollections of his family, colleagues and friends. As revealing as it is engaging, this is a fascinating portrait of the main regarded as the last of the true movie moguls of Indian cinema.

I loved the honesty in this book. Nothing about his life was hidden. His daughter did a fAntastic job. He truly was a great director and actors who paved the way for what we enjoy as Bollywood today.

No, it is not an auto biography. I felt cheated. This book is made out of good collection of his interviews. I found nothing personal except his childhood part. I am sorry Ritu ji, but I expected more. Raj kapoor means a lot to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's an honest ode by a daughter to her father.

The book helps you take a look at the art of filmmaking from the perspective of an honest man...Raj...naam toh suna hoga. Only if stories/films of today were as relatable as it used to be back in his times.

1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not for Raj Kapoor fans...
Reviewed in India on December 25, 2017

The word "genius" has somehow paled with the unwarranted use of superlatives by his family members. Fortunately, Raj Kapoor was someone whom the term fitted like the proverbial glove. It is not easy to capture the essence of a performer who could run the entire gamut of emotions. Much as I love reading biographies and autobiographies, this one was a strenuous read. It’s a compilation of lengthy anecdotes of the family of the showman and interviews of some people in the show biz that have appeared in print earlier that’s been compiled together by his daughter, stressing more on what people thought of him, one that we know of than a daughters ode to her father. Definitely not for Raj Kapoor fans...
