  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Raj Kapoor and Nargis


An vindictive judge taunts a robber that he is a criminal because he was born a criminal. The thief, unable to take this insult, vows to ruin the judge's life and prove to him that nurture trumps nature.

Awaara is the story of a poor tramp named Raj who befriends the rich Rita as a child. His poverty prevents him from enrolling in school with her but he never forgets her as he reaches adulthood. Until that time, he and his father figure Jagga resort to petty theft to make ends meet. When carrying out a bank heist, he robs the purse of (unknown to him) Rita for keys to her car. After finding the purse empty of car keys, he returns the purse to Rita and they then become reacquainted. They fall in love soon enough but his poverty and life of petty theft and her wealth and her relationship to the Judge strains their relationship.

Raj soon learns that Jagga, his trusted father figure, is actually a thief who kidnapped Raj's mother from his father to exact revenge. Raj kills Jagga in revenge and is jailed by the Judge who is in fact his biological father. Rita is his lawyer and she convinces the Judge to reduce the sentence to three years. She vows to wait for him when he returns from prison.

Starring the unforgetable Nargis and Raj Kapoor, part of a hit jodi and one of the most beloved and classic films in Indian film industry.
