Guru Dutt

 Waheeda Rehman

                                   Kaagaz ke Phool

In 1957, actor/ director Guru Dutt directed a film that is classed as a classic of the cinema in India - Pyaasa - the film starring Waheeda Remhan was a runaway hit, and launched Dutt's carrer as a director into the superstar bracket.

The story is about a poet seeking recognition for his work.

Two years later, he directed Ms Rehman in the movie Kaagaz ke Phool, this movie could be seen as - art imitating life - the film about a starlet going onto become larger than the person who started her career is seen as the end of Guru Dutt as a director; officially, he never directed another film, the film was both a critical, and a financial bomb as the audience could not understand the plot of the movie.
