Was This Muslim Actress Responsible For the Death of This Hindu Director?। Drama Series Indian

Guru Dutt’s short yet eventful life saw Indian cinema produce some of its finest works like Pyaasa and Kaagaz Ke Phool. On his 94th birth anniversary, a look at his works and life

Remember when filmmaker Guru Dutt was keen on marrying the beauteous Waheeda Rehman, she had just one condition. He must convert to Islam to marry her. Guru Dutt refused. That was six decades ago.
Guru Dutt (whose birth anniversary is on 9 July), was similarly denied his genius in his lifetime. An engaging filmmaker, Dutt’s movies are a portrayal of human pain, suffering, life and philosophy. He was a rare artist whose films were influenced by personal subjective influences. He directed and made movies with inherent human values and illustrated them clearly with incidents.

I am not trained in the language of films but few filmmakers have talked to me through their films like Guru Dutt has. Guru Dutt's movies especially Pyaasa, Kagaaz K Phool, Sahib, Biwi aur Ghulam and Chaudhvi Ka Chand have imprinted on the soul and taught me eternal lessons about life, reality, existence, philosophy, and the relationship between art and life. His genius is elaborated when you compare him to other Hindi filmmakers of the era, where few would dare make films contemplating life.

While Art has always been a medium for expressing emotions, life, philosophy and literature, Dutt’s cinema has left a lasting impact on me. Years after first being introduced to his work I am still haunted by his images, I can recite lines from his films and I still hum his songs. His cinema made me understand existentialist cinema better than any book ever could.

Guru Dutt Shivashankar Padukone was born in Mangalore in 1925. Born in a Saraswati Brahmin family which has a tradition of being associated with Kashmir. His parents too were creative. As per his sister, acclaimed artist Lalitha Lajmi in Yasser Usman's biography "Guru Dutt, An unfinished story", it was their father who was a very creative and literary person, it was he whom Guru wrote the story "Kashmakash " in 1947 which was later made into the movie "Pyaasa" in 1957. His mother too was a creative person who passed matriculation one year after Guru's matriculation. His mother even translated one Bengali novel "Mithun" in Kannada. Financial instability and family issues led Guru to discontinue his studies He then joined as a telephone operator and then the Hindustan Lever Company.
He was adopted by film publicist B.B Benegal who was his mother's cousin. It was he who initiated him into films. Guru after his matriculation at the age of sixteen joined Udhay Shankar's Indian Cultural Centre where he was trained in dance and other performing art.
His uncle later took him to Poona and introduced him to Baburao Patel, partner of Prabhat studio where he joined as dance director. This was here only that he acted in a small role in the movie "Lakharam" in 1945. After Prabhat Studios, he assisted directors A. Banerjee and Gyan Mukherjee. After it, he became chief assistant director to Amiya Chakrabarti. Dutt’s creative genius and his obvious empathy for fellow human beings set him apart from the mainstream Hindi cinema of the time. While others were moved by the optimism of a newly independent nation, Dutt explored intense desire, suffering, abandonment and the cost of success.
