Awaara
The Vagabond
Directed by Raj Kapoor
Produced by All India Film Corporation, R.K. Films
A socially conscious melodrama that traces how poverty, prejudice, and abandonment shape a man's descent into crime, ultimately questioning whether circumstance or character determines fate.
A petty thief is put on trial for the attempted murder of a lawyer. Through a series of flashbacks, the intertwining lives of the thief, the lawyer, and the thief's defense lawyer are illustrated.
