Kal Aaj Aur Kal (transl. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) is a 1971 Indian Hindi-language film produced by Raj Kapoor and directed by his son Randhir Kapoor.[1] The film's USP is the appearance of three generations of the famous Kapoor family. The film stars Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor (in his acting debut) and his real-life wife-to-be Babita.[2][3]

It was also the last Shankar-Jaikishan score in a Raj Kapoor film. This film came after the heavy debacle of Mera Naam Joker, which was the dream project of Raj Kapoor. It more than made up for his loss although it was still only a moderate success at the box office. The film marked one of the final films of Prithviraj Kapoor as he died the following year of the film's release.[4]
