Remembering Guru Dutt on his 90th birth anniversary.
If you still haven't guessed Guru Dutt's name, it is time you grabbed some popcorn, got yourself a box of tissues, and camped before your television to watch some good movies by the actor-director. Here's a list of Dutt's best work that you can start with:
Pyaasa is a 1957 Indian drama film, produced and directed by Guru Dutt, written by Abrar Alvi, and starring Guru Dutt, Waheeda Rehman and Mala Sinha.
Kaagaz Ke Phool is a 1959 Hindi film produced and directed by Guru Dutt, who also played the lead role in the film.
Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (The Master, the Wife and the Knave) is a 1962 Indian Hindi film produced by Guru Dutt and directed by Abrar Alvi. It is based on a Bengali novel, Saheb Bibi Golam by Bimal Mitra, and is a look into the tragic fall of the haveli-dom and feudalism in Bengal during the British Raj. The title of the movie and the story is a reference to the plot simultaneously exploring a platonic friendship between a beautiful lonely wife (Bibi) of an aristocrat (Sahib) and a career-driven low-income part-time servant (Ghulam). The film's music is by Hemant Kumar and lyrics were by Shakeel Badayuni.
