Remembering Guru Dutt @100: 10 Timeless Masterpieces from a Cinematic Legend
Remembering Guru Dutt @100: 10 Timeless Masterpieces from a Cinematic Legend
NEW DELHI: (Jul 9) As the Indian film world celebrates the 100th birth anniversary of Guru Dutt, we revisit ten of the most iconic films from his illustrious career. A masterful director, actor, and producer, Guru Dutt carved a unique place in Hindi cinema with his poetic storytelling, visual brilliance, and emotional depth.
1. Pyaasa (1957):
Often hailed as Guru Dutt’s magnum opus, Pyaasa tells the poignant story of a disillusioned poet navigating a world driven by greed and apathy. Loosely inspired by his father’s unfulfilled literary aspirations, the film blends social critique with soulful music. With unforgettable tracks like "Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaaye Toh Kya", "Jaane Woh Kaise Log The", and "Sar Jo Tera Chakraye", the film remains an enduring classic. Co-starring Mala Sinha, Waheeda Rehman, and Rehman, Pyaasa is not just a film—it’s an experience etched into the soul of Indian cinema.
