Kaagaz Ke Phool
(India 1959)

Runtime: 148 minutes
Language: Hindi, English subtitles
Director: Guru Dutt; Cast: Waheeda Rehman, Guru Dutt, Kumari Naaz, Johnny Walker, Mahesh Kaul

Narrated in flashback, it is the rise and fall of a famous filmmaker, Suresh. Though an enormous success professionally, he has a failed marriage and a daughter, Pammi, who is in boarding school. The turning point in his life comes when he makes a film about Devdas with an unknown girl, Shanti cast as Parvati. Both are a runaway success and rumours about Shanti and Suresh's friendship become public. Pammi comes back to appeal to Shanti to stay out of her fathers life and allow her parents marriage another chance. Moved by Pammi's plea, Shanti throws it all out to go and teach in a village school. Shanti's departure drives Suresh to alcohol and a downhill slide in his career. Eventually, he gets a chance to make a comeback film - only if it stars Shanti.

  • A brilliant cinematography with unmatched direction . our current directors hav lot to learn from this kind of cinema and ofcourse from Mr Guru Dutt, who was an institution by himself. Here, in this video, the actors didnot spoke a word but stil communicated a plethora of emotions and feelings, such a masterful work which is impossible to emulate.

    A true masterpiece of the byegone era..

    Hats off to Mr Guru Dutt..!!

  • Story of my life
