Kaagaz ke phool
I had always heard of classics films directed by Guru Dutt like Kaagaz ke Phool and Pyaasa and Sahib Biwi aur Ghulam. For quite long I wanted to check them out. First one I saw was Kaagaz ke Phool. And I quite liked the film.. there is inheritance of sadness in the film which is soo attracting. Guru Dutt himself was a sad man in most of his life and killed himself out of depression. Kaagaz ke Phool is set in world of cinema where a successful director falls in love with his protégé, a female actress he launches, and ends up destroying himself for the lover of her. They both love each other but somehow they cant be together.. Female lead is played by luminous Waheeda Rahman and you have to watch the film to know how beautiful and graceful the day used to be. Have to say she still is very very graceful and there is rarely anyone in industry like her today. The film has one of my most fav track as well, ‘waqt ne kiya kya sitam, Hum rahe na hum.. Tum rahe na tum..
Watch if you want to know Indian cinema better.
