A rich boy meets a poor girl. Love blossoms, but their parents oppose the union. After numerous failed attempts at a resolution, the couple decide to run away together. Indian showman Raj Kapoor takes the audience through a hugely entertaining journey introducing enchanting characters and catchy musical numbers. Raj Nath (Kapoor) and Bobby Braganza's (Kapadia) lovable journey builds to a rousing, action-packed climax.

With BOBBY, Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia shot to instant stardom, and director Raj Kapoor struck gold at the box office. The style, costumes and sensational music of this cult classic never cease to amaze even 35 years after its release.
