Guru Dutt was no doubt a great director. He may not be a legend according to some. But i cannot wipe the frame to frame scenes of Pyasaa and Kagaz ke phool. Both the films were master pieces of the Hindi film industry. No doubt on that. I do not understand how he was termed pessimistic. I understand his personal life was in very bad shape. He had failed in his love life. May be he had lots of internal pain and sorrow within him, which he was also able to effectively potray. His some other commercial films were also equally appreciable. We miss such dedicated and committed people.

Its such a shame that India has people like Krishna Reddy, who are literate (not educated - as is clear from his comments), who has access to internet, who don't refrain to overuse there right to freedom and they are still ignorant about some of the great personalities of India and Indian cinema

One non-sense comment followed by other. If someboday doesn't know about Gurudutt, you can't say, nobody knows. It may be the time they started watching old hindi movies also does matter. If we apply same logic, how many people may know about Satyajit Ray in next generation of North India.

Well the tragedy of this comment is Guru Dutt himself was a South Indian. These kind of comemnts dont do us any good. We are Indians first.

wht promote yaar.I think u r a child who doesnt knw anythng about ndia.
He gave us some unforgetable cinema which can be considered as the milestone in indian cinema history. he has his own fan following and was a great actor, director. He had complete command over all kind of emotions in life. A true artist...
He was the GURU of all Directors.Truly Legend.Its so happens when such people are around nobody understands their true worth. But once they leave us, then people start talking about them more out of Guilt.

Gurudutt Padukone's roots are in the coastal belt of Karnataka, from south Kanara district (close to Udupi). His monther tounge is Konkani and he is a Saraswat Brahmin. It may also interest you to know he is a cousin of Shyam Benegal and his uncle is Swami Ramdas (called Papa) of Kanhangad. He spent a considerable amount of his formative years in Almore under Uday Shankar (bro of Ravi Shankar) and also in Calcutta. He broke his first name into 2 Guru Dutt. Due to the Dutt in his name and his Calcutta connection, ppl mistake him to be a bengali.
it will never be possible to know a legend.are his DVDs in the market.any plans to digitalise in color. great artist with a very melodius betterhalf nalin
Arun, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Guru Dutt seemed to be restless and wanting to do everything to perfection. Your father was the BEST and you can be very proud of him.
