Five months after the iconic RK Studio was acquired by a realty giant for a luxury residential project, the magic of Raj Kapoor's cinema continues to reside in fans' memories. Now, in good news for film enthusiasts, the memorabilia of Raj Kapoor films — including posters, cameras used by the showman over the decades and other artefacts — have been passed on to Film Heritage Foundation for preservation.

Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, the founder of the Tardeo-based organisation and archivist, says he is grateful to be the safe keepers of these precious possessions, each telling a beautiful chapter of the showman's life and, by extension, of the evolution of Hindi cinema.
