Plot

A film he directed, produced and starred in. It failed at the box office and is now a cult classic.

Sinekatalog’s take

Raj Kapoor's epic, autobiographical circus drama follows a clown who hides tears behind laughter. Sprawling and sentimental, a flop that became a cult classic, it is a grand, uneven and emotional showman's confession.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
