RAJ KAPOOR CENTENARY CELEBRATION 2025

In an unprecedented tribute to one of the greatest icons in the history of Indian and world cinema, Respect India proudly presents the Raj Kapoor Centenary Celebration—a landmark, year-long global initiative honoring 100 years since the birth of the legendary Shri Raj Kapoor, whose films not only transformed Indian storytelling but built cultural bridges across continents. With grand events planned in Delhi, Goa, and Mumbai—India’s cultural and cinematic capitals—and international celebrations in countries that embraced him as their own, including Mauritius, Uzbekistan, and Singapore, this celebration will unite audiences through powerful retrospectives, rare exhibitions, artistic performances, and thought-provoking dialogues. Mumbai, the heart of the Indian film industry and home to Raj Kapoor’s creative legacy, will host the magnificent closing ceremony, bringing together global dignitaries, artists, and the Kapoor family in a final tribute. From the emotional resonance of Uzbekistan, where his films still echo in the hearts of millions, to the diaspora pride of Mauritius and the cultural dynamism of Singapore and Goa, every location has been chosen with purpose and passion. To realize this ambitious vision and deliver a celebration worthy of a cinematic giant, we invite philanthropists, cultural institutions, corporate leaders, and art lovers across the world to join us as partners and donors. Your support will not only preserve and project Raj Kapoor’s enduring legacy to new generations but will also strengthen India’s global cultural footprint through the universal language of cinema, emotion, and shared human values.
