Jagtey Raho is filmmaking and story telling at its best. Plot is just one liner. An innocent man(Raaj Kapoor) arrives from village in the city and he is in search of water in the middle of the night. He enters a society and is mistaken for a thief.
Raj Kapoor's innocence on his face is absolutely treat to watch and it's amazing how comfortable he is in the role of a poor and innocent man. His eyes and his expressions tells u so much, without even speaking much.
The society where this innocent man enters is house for almost thousand of people and everyone is from different sections of the society. The film also exposes our double standard society and thinking of people.
And this innocent man is suprised and shocked to see the truth of so called civilized society people, their fightings and their differences. Raj Kapoor's character doesnt't have dialouges but he emotes so much from his eyes. Almost every thing on his face is readable.
There is humor and comic timings in the story as well which keeps us entertained but above all, the thrill element in this story has been exectued very well.
The last half hour of the movie is absolute classic. And how the innocent man(Raj Kapoor) yells at the public is just treat to watch.
The film expopses our so called civilized society.
