Dharam Karam (1975) A drama film produced by the legendary Raj Kapoor and directed by his son Randhir Kapoor, who also starred in the film alongside his father. The film featured an ensemble cast including Rekha, Premnath, and Dara Singh, with notable supporting performances by Pinchoo Kapoor, Narendra Nath, Urmila Bhatt, Alka, Master Satyajeet, Baby Pinky, and Master Sailesh. Set against the backdrop of moral dilemmas and identity swaps, the story follows Shankar (played by Premnath), a hardened criminal who longs to leave behind a life of crime. Fearing his son will follow in his footsteps, he secretly switches his newborn with the child of Ashok (Raj Kapoor), a celebrated stage performer.

धरम करम (1975) एक ड्रामा फ़िल्म थी जिसके निर्माता दिग्गज अभिनेता और शोमैन राज कपूर थे तथा इसका निर्देशन उनके बेटे रणधीर कपूर ने किया था। फ़िल्म की दोनों शीर्षक भूमिकाओं में भी यही बाप-बेटे की जोड़ी थी। इनके साथ फ़िल्म में रेखा, प्रेमनाथ और दारा सिंह जैसे प्रमुख कलाकारों के साथ पिंचू कपूर, नरेंद्र नाथ, उर्मिला भट्ट, अलका, मास्टर सत्यजीत, बेबी पिंकी और मास्टर शैलेश जैसे सहायक अभिनेता काम कर रहे थे। फ़िल्म की कहानी नैतिक दुविधाओं में उलझे ऐसे किरदारों के बारे में है जिनकी पहचान की अदला-बदली हो जाती है। शंकर (प्रेमनाथ) एक कठोर अपराधी है जो किसी भी तरह से अपराध की जिन्दगी से पीछा छुड़ाना चाहता है। उसे डर है कि कहीं उसका बेटा भी उसकी देखादेखी अपराध के रास्ते पर न चल पड़े। इसलिए एक दिन वह चुपके से अपने नवजात बेटे को एक मशहूर मंचीय कलाकार अशोक (राज कपूर) के बच्चे से बदल देता है। नवजात बच्चों की यही अदला-बदली इस नाटकीय कथा की नींव में है जिसमें भाग्य, परवरिश और चयन की आज़ादी जैसे मुद्दों की पड़ताल की गई है। दिग्गज कलाकारों, दमदार अभिनय और उच्च गुणवत्ता के निर्माण के बावजूद धरम करम टिकट खिड़की पर वैसी कामयाबी हासिल नहीं कर पाई जैसा उससे उम्मीद थी। इसे व्यावसायिक स्तर पर सामान्य से...
