	Guru Dutt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guru Dutt was born to Shivsankar Rao Padukone and Vasanthi Padukone on July 9, 1925, in Bangalore.
		Guru Dutt's father, who was initially a headmaster at Panambur and later a bank employee at Bangalore, was transferred to Bhawanipore near Calcutta, where Guru Dutt finished his schooling.
		Guru Dutt was at first mourned as a matinee idol but as the years passed, it became ever clearer that it was as a director that he would be remembered.

		Narayana Guru’s philosophy, which is fundamentally of Advaitic and non-dual wisdom in principles, further extended Advaita concepts into practical modes of self-realisation through spiritual education, compassion and vision for peaceful co-existence of the human race, whilst promoting social equality and universal brotherhood.
		The Guru’s philosophy is exemplified in his mystical writings that are truly interchanging warps and wefts of ethics, logic, aesthetics and metaphysics woven into masterpieces of silken rich poetry.
		At the time of its conception, Narayana Guru’s philosophy was in many respects ahead of its time and focused on a futuristic world order that could be shaped from his philosophical connotations that are underlain with transcendental aesthetics and logic embodied in knowledge and pure reason.

	Thirst and mourning
		Guru Dutt does not express himself in the India of the Kushâna-Gupta era, but in a country already largely dominated by modern capitalist economy, and where the spectacle made massively his appearance - Bombay’s movie industry is quite a good example for it.
		Guru Dutt’s film is therefore tinged with a twofold light : the thirst for living and the knowledge of failure are tightly mingled, but not as strangers for one another : rather as indissociable parts.
		Guru Dutt’s poetry confronts itself with the lowest depths of life in a way that places his poetry on the highest level of critical intelligence.

	Pyaasa: Guru Dutt's masterpiece
		With Pyaasa, Guru Dutt bade goodbye to the thrillers (Baazi, Jaal, Aar Paar) and comedies (Mr and Mrs 55) he had directed so far and let a dark cloud of pessimism hover over his professional, even personal, life.
		The last time I saw it, I was enamoured by the song situations (Jaane kya tune kahi, in which Waheeda entices Guru Dutt through the winding streets of Kolkata) and the use of symbolism, underlined by the crucifixion-like pose that Guru Dutt strikes during the song Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye toh kya hai.
		By placing these scenes one after the other, Guru Dutt underlines the fact that a man's view of a woman is a mirror to his character -- one man sees the woman as an object of vilification while another sees her as a fellow human being worthy of empathy.

		Guru Dutt even changed the hero of the original novel from a painter to a poet to facilitate the making of the film, and thus rendering possible the excellence of the dialogues and the lyrics.
		Dutt also wanted to cast Johnny Walker in the negative role of Shyam, his ungrateful friend, but felt that he was taking too great a risk with the latter’s lovable image.
		Guru Dutt always spoke of the influence of Bengali literature and films on him, and ‘Pyaasa’ was the first of Dutt’s films to demonstrate this influence.
