One of the last Raj Kapoor classics, Bobby is the love story of two tender young
hearts caught in the flush of first love. Raj (Rishi Kapoor), eighteen, just out
of school and the only son of wealthy parents, is the lonely, poor little rich
boy who finds companionship and love and comfort in the company of Bobby (Dimple
Kapadia), a sweet, innocent sixteen. But this path of true love is strewn with
too many thorns - social disparity, wealth and adults who have long forgotten
the sweet agony of love. Bobby is the story of how these two young lovers are
pitted against a world that no longer understands how love can conquer
everything and triumphs.
Bobby is a milestone in hindi cinema for several reasons. It saw the debut of
Dimple Kapadia, one of Indian cinema's finest actresses, it became an icon for
young lovers and its songs ('Hum Tum Ik Kamre Mein' and 'Jhoot Bole Kauva Kate')
scored by Laxmikant Pyarelal became evergreen hits, capturing the urgent, sweet
innocence of young love.
