You would require more than one viewing in order to see understand the underlying message of how the purity of the river Ganges originating from Himalayas gets compromised as it travels through the strata's of the society until its finally reaches Kolkatta. The showman has moved a level up since Mera Naam Joker and his subsequent movies like Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Prem Rog and RTGM (with an expectation of Bobby) clearly depict the subtle message encoded. Clearly the showman has adapted to changing times and yet manages to captivate the audience interest with his master story telling skill. Undoubtedly one of the finest films made by the original and only Showman Raj Kapoor.
Ram Teri Ganga Maili is Raj Kaoor's final but far from his finest. I wish the film matched the beauty of the music and the photography. My favourite number is "Sun Sahiba Sun" which is a pleasure to listen to. This legendary singer's phenomenal voice does wonders to the film and gives it much of the charm that the script doesn't. But the winner of the film after all is another person, a woman whose name is Lata Mangeshkar. Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Sushma Seth are also very good. The film's other highlights include some nice supporting turns, especially by the great Saeed Jaffrey who gets great lines and a nice role. The casting of Kapoor's youngest son Rajiv as the male lead is exactly like the casting of Rishi Kapoor in Bobby a decade before, and although he is okay and does okay within the context of the film, it's nothing special. But who cares, when you have such an unusual beauty, much can be forgiven. And coming to the heroine and the film's main protagonist - Mandakini is exactly a reflection of the film itself - she is stunning, and her beauty is captured with great mastery, but performance-wise she falters and wavers between refreshing and charming and then very weak and struggling with too much drama. A very pretty film to look at but very melodramatic and stereotypical in its portrayal of the suffering heroine. It is exactly the same kind of problems that Kapoor's previous venture, Prem Rog, faced. Then also the caricature villains take the credibility of the story down.
It is further ruined by embarrassingly absurd action scenes, which make one lament that someone of the stature of Raj Kapoor succumbed to the cheap dishum dishum of the times. In terms of writing the film has a stronger first half - great romantic portions and all you'd expect, but the execution, the dialogue and the acting by the smaller actors is very bad.

Raj Kapoor keeps his obsession with the female body and with showing nudity to a most conservative censor board, and does it as aesthetically as he always did, with some highly suggestive transparent clothing, shots of full breastfeeding. The cinematography is perfect, and the setting is very impressive, creating a rather extravagant film. Ram Teri Ganga Maili is overwhelming in its beauty, in how well it captures the extraordinary picturesque views of the Himalayas, the stormy rivers of the waterfalls, and what not. What's new, I don't think anyone doubts Raj Kapoor's phenomenal talent in terms of filmmaking.
