Guru Dutt's best film, and one of the greatest Indian films ever made...
|
| This is one of the most poetic, sad, beautiful, melancholy films I have ever seen. It is one of my favorite Bollywood/Indian films, and it's still considered a classic today. I would even place it in a top 100 list if I had to compile one. Guru Dutt is probably the most underrated filmmaker/star in India, as he died young (at 40 or so), and his films were very different than the usual happy, happy, joy, joy Bollywood cinema that most of us are used to. This film, along with Paper Flowers (aka Kagaaz de Phool) are considered his best films, and they deserve every bit of praise that comes their way. Guru plays a struggling poet here. Because of a misunderstandgin he is mistaken for dead, and his fame skyrockets after people think he's dead. It's a very accurate depiction of humanity. The most moving scene here is actually one of the songs (the songs in Guru Dutt's films move the films along beautifully, and they are never intrusive, like they are on a lot of Bollywood films) with its unbelievably haunting chorus of "where are those who claim to be proud of this land?" as Guru's character is wandering through an avenue of vice. This film is a poetic masterpiece, and deserves to be better known... |
