Guru Dutt
Life and work of an Indian film actor and director.
Guru Dutt: An Unfinished Story
Guru Dutt’s filmography has some names which have long been considered as some of the best films to have ever been made in India. His masterpiece Pyaasa (1957) was featured in TIME magazine's All-Time 100 Movies list in 2005. His films are still celebrated and revered by viewers, critics and students of cinema the world over, not only for their technical brilliance but also for the eternal romanticism and their profound take on the emptiness of life and the shallowness of material success. He was Indian cinema’s Don Juan and Nietzsche rolled into one. But while much has been said and written on the film-maker and his art, little is known about his life behind the screens. This richly lay...

Guru Dutt, 1925-1965
On the writings and works of Guru Dutt, 1925-1965, Hindi motion picture producer, director, and actor.
Guru Dutt
Guru Dutt is now named along with the masters of world cinema—like Orson Welles, Mizoguchi, Hitchcock, Jancso, Ophüls—for his innovative cinematic form and his deep humanism and compassion. In Guru Dutt: A Tragedy in Three Acts, renowned film-maker and scholar Arun Khopkar sheds new light on Dutt’s genius through a close examination of Dutt’s three best-known films—Pyaasa, Kaagaz Ke Phool and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. With a nuanced eye, Khopkar explores the historical context which influenced Dutt’s deeply melancholic style while also analysing the intricacies of the medium—acting, lighting, music, editing, rhythm—that Dutt carefully deployed to create his masterpieces. Originally written in Marathi, this exquisite English translation paints a layered portrait of a troubled genius for whom art was not merely a thing of beauty but a vital part of living itself.
Guru Dutt
This biography traces the life and works of a remarkable director and actor. During his brief thirteen year career, Guru Dutt replaced the repetitive ingredients of formulaic Hindi cinema with an individual and lyrical vision, playing his screen characters with a sensitivity and compassion that endowed them with a rare depth. The enigmatic, romantic, often tragic undertones of his screen personae became closely associated with his own persona off-screen. Guru Dutt's doomed heroes seemed totell his own story, from his middle-class origins to his dramatic film career and eventual suicide at thirty-nine. Nasreem Munni Kabir traces the life of this unusual man through accounts of his films and a series of interviews with his family, colleagues, and friends. Several years of painstaking research and conversations with Guru Dutt's associates have yielded a complete and compelling account of this legendary artist.
In Black and White
Born on 9 July 1925 into a Saraswat family of Mangalore and educated in the liberal climate of Calcutta, Guru Dutt started his own production company in 1954 with Aar Paar, and never looked back till Sahib Bibi aur Gulam, 1962, his last film. On 9 October 1964, he committed suicide. His oeuvre is now widely regarded as one of the most rich and significant legacies of Indian cinema, amongst the finest examples of the melodrama mode. The aim of this volume is to lay before the reader a particular melodramatic tradition of the Hindi film that Guru Dutt typified. The critical fragments spread over the book s six chapters are all taken from the body of work done by western critics in elevating th...
