Untitled[edit]

I've been meaning to work on this article for a long time, and finally got a round tuit. I still have to do the filmography. Anyone else up for it?

There may be style issues, or typos, or mistakes. Please fix anything that isn't up to Wikipedia standards. Zora 23:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, guys, just keep in mind the style guide. I had to really clean up this article when the clean-up tag came. I hope I don't have to do clean up again --IMpbt 14:27, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Rajkapoor-seh-mandri sey samundri tak--Book[edit]

Prithviraj Kapoor was without a doubt the most handsome Indian actor of Pre-Independence India and the founder of India's first film family - the Kapoors.

He was born in Prithvinath Kapoor in a middle-class landlord family in Samundri, a district of the industrial township of Lyallpur, Punjab, the son of a police officer. He got most of his early grounding from his grand father, Dewan Keshavmal. After finishing schooling at Lyallpur and Lahore, he enrolled at Edward College, Peshawar where he developed a taste for the theatre and earned a major reputation on the amateur stage in Lyallpur and Peshawar. He was married at 18 and did a year of law after graduation but interrupted his law studies to pursue his dreams of acting. Taking a loan from his aunt, he left Peshawar for Bombay in the winter of 1928, leaving behind his wife and three children saying he would send for them later.(upperstall.com)

Some uncalled for statements in the article[edit]

I wish to point out some phrases, such as "sexy" and its likes sully the image of the great director. I think erotic is a much better term for his cinema in later years. And there were only a few scenes that depicted semi-nudity. It will be most shameful to call the scene depicting Mandakini breast-feeding her child as sexy. It is a very thoughtful and artistic presentation. So I hope you don't have any problems if I rephrase some lines in the articles which are demeaning.

Confusing Statement[edit]

The site itself claims "Kapadia is the eldest daughter of Gujarati entrepreneur Chunnibhai Kapadia and Betty" at Dimple Kapadia's page. But in this section it claims "Kapoor is also known to have had a longtime romantic relationship with the renowned actress Nargis during the 1950s. It is believe that Dimple Kapadia is their love child.". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.124.238.237 (talk) 19:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Raj Kapoor[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Raj Kapoor's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "guardian":

  • From Raja Ramanna: Pandya, Haresh (2 October 2004). "Raja Ramanna Biography". The Guardian. London. Retrieved 11 November 2012.
  • From Prithviraj Kapoor: Nirpal Dhaliwal. "Nirpal Dhaliwal: My Bollywood bit part | Film". The Guardian. Retrieved 2014-07-13.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 09:37, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

asthma or COPD - smoker[edit]

Everyone loves Raj Kapoor. However, He did smoke quite heavily.... So, the diagnosis should have been COPD, not asthma. Anybody know his pulmonary function testing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.140.183.1 (talk) 19:06, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Palm de or prize[edit]

The article in lead mentioned that the Boot polish film was nominated for grand prize and [| this India Today article] is suggesting the same, it also mentioned Awaara (1951) was also nominated for Palm de ore (the grand prize of Canns film festival) but 1951 and 1954 Cannes Film Festival don't have mention about Awaara and Boot polish respectively. The question arises, both of these film really was nominated for Palm de ore (the grand prize) or not?Tesla car owner (talk) 13:58, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
