   Hello Raviji!
   Thank you for highlighting this excellent article about the life of Guru Dutt, a man ahead of his times. He was an excellent actor, director and has made some high quality movies. His films had extraordinary script and direction, usually with a great social message.

   It is a shame he ended his life at 39 years old. I guess falling in love with another woman while married brought a lot of misery into his life. This is an interesting article, Ravi.
   
   Thanks for posting Ravi's article, Chitrangada.

   This is a nice article on the legendry genius of Hndi Cinema - Guru Dutt - by Ravi Rajan ....
   Guru Dutt is among my top favourites - as actor as well as director.
   I remember having seen his movies on Doordarshan in 1989 which were telecast as a special tribute to him. A series of his movies were telecast in a short span of few days, including Aar Paar; Mr. & Mrs. 55; Sahib, Bibi Aur Gulam. and so on.  I was to appear for my Higher Secondary School Exam - the 12th Board Exam - as it is commonly called - and was restricting myself from watching any programmes on the television. But, watching Guru Dutt's movies is the most acceptable exception, even for a person like me who is known for her reluctance / disinterest in watching movies - there can be no regrets of wasting time on them.
   I had watched Pyasa earlier, and found it tragic and sad, yet very appealing - especially musically captivating. Other aesthetic aspects of presentation of the movie were also remarkably impressive - the silences as well as the dialogues, lyrics, acting ....
   Mr. & Mrs. 55 was light and classy - no tragedy in it. Lovely movie !!
   I have read and heard about Guru Dutt as well as Geeta Dutt - a legend herself. Geeta Dutt's songs are invaluable treasures of Indian Film Music. Wahida Rehman is also one among favourites - such grace and beauty !!
   It is really sad that Guru Dutt left so early and in such a manner - a genius, an artist, a sensitive human being, who could not bear the burdens of apathies of life. Being true to relationships is very important in life.
   A nicely written article, Ravi. Thanks for sharing, Chitrangadaji.

   Ravi has created an interesting article about a life that was tragic as well as successful. The article was educational and interesting for me, since I had never heard of Guru Dutt before. I’m glad that I’ve learned about him.

    It was intriguing and sad to know about Guru Dutt. It is intriguing because his professional life was so successful but sad because his personal life was in turmoil, leading to his suicide at only 39. Thank you, Ravi, for bringing this man and his life to the forefront.
    
    Thank you, Chitrangada, for sharing Ravi's post.
