"Jago mohan pyare.."
Lata Mangeshkar sung this Shailendra's song was the climax of one of our India's neo-realistic films..'Jagate Raho' (1956) produced-acted by Raj Kapoor!

It was directed by Amit Maitra & Sombhu Mitra..with them K.A. Abbas wrote this film! And excellent cinematographed by Radhu Karmakar!

Nargis did cameo in it!..And it was the last time she appeared in 'R.K. Films'!

'Jagate Raho' won national award and 'Crystal Globe Grand Prix' at 'Karlovy Vary International Film Festival' in Czechoslovakia!

On this 'World Water Day' I remembered this..as metaphor!
And recently RK's birth centenary happened!
