Raj Kapoor’s Awara gets a 4K makeover, set to be screened at Toronto Film Festival

The 2024 Toronto International Film Festival will be held between September 5 and 15. The 1951 film, a gem of Indian cinema’s golden age, is ready to charm a new generation with its remastered avatar. The film, often hailed as one of Kapoor’s finest, weaves the personal with the political, presenting a narrative that questions the rigid class structures and moral binaries. The story of a young man born into poverty, Awara is a tale of duality.
