Aag
Director: Raj Kapoor
Starring: Raj Kapoor, Nargis, Nigar Sultana, Kamini Kaushal, Premnath
Music Director: Ram Ganguly
In Raj Kapoors own words, Aag is "the story of youth consumed by the desire
for a brighter and more intense life."
Kewal and Nimmi are childhood sweethearts who share a passion for theatre. They
promise each other that when they grow up, they will together start their own
theatre company. An unfulfilled dream as Nimmi and her parents move to another
town. Years later, two young men Rajan (Prem Nath) and Kewal (Raj Kapoor) revive
an old theatre that closed down. One day, a young destitute girl (Nargis) comes
to the theatre and begins to act in Kewals plays. Fascinated by her, Kewal names
her Nimmi. But when he discovers that Rajan is also in love with her, he steps
aside only to realize that Nimmi loves him. Kewal gets badly scarred on his face
when trying to douse a fire in the theatre. A horrified Nimmi switches loyalties
and chooses Rajan.
A wedding night, a flower-bedecked bedroom, and the bridegroom turns to reveal a
badly burnt face. The bride (Nigar Sultana) screams in shock. The man is Kewal.
Who is the girl? Will Rajan ever find his beloved Nimmi? And if he does, will
she be able to see the real Kewal beyond his disfigured face?
Aag was the debut of Raj Kapoors astounding career as one of Indian cinemas most
illustrious directors and was the first time Nargis and Raj Kapoor came together
as a romantic on-screen couple. Though Ram Ganguly was the music director of the
film, scoring such haunting numbers as "Zinda hoon is tarah", his assistants
were Shanker and Jaikishan. So impressed was Raj Kapoor by their contribution to
the films music, that he vowed to work with them in his next film. The rest as
they say is history.
