Legend has it that the lighting scene where the light comes from the top was done using natural sunlight not a spotlight. It took many days of planning and execution to get it right.
It was explained by VK Murthy, the cinematographer in an interview. Guru Dutt had asked Murthy if he could create a shaft of light will almost parallel beam ( this was BEFORE Kagaz... was conceived). So, what VK Murthy did was : He cut a round window in the wall of the studio, and he put a round mirror on the floor between Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman. Then he slowly opened the window and what we see is the light bouncing back (yes)... hard to believe but that's how he did it... in 1959!!
Pyasa was hugely successful and Kagaz ke phool was a financial disaster... But when u see both you will feel the height of artistry in every frame. Watch kagaz ke phool just for sheer cinematic brilliance, direction, songs , perfection...Though both the films have sad endings...
His work was way ahead of time and not got that appreciate deeserve .phraps that time audience is not deserve to appreciate good things or filmaker actor gurudutt IQ was way ahead then that time
@@navneeshkumar9169 even today bollywood is making non sensual stuff...And people were making it 200 300 crore...thank God pandemic happened...And now they can see the difference between Good and bad content ...Because of OTT
Yeah, guys it's high time you watched Pyaasa (1957). As Ric said, it's long overdue. It is the first one from the Guru Dutt classic triology- Kaaghaz Ke Phool (1959) and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1961) being the other two.
i miss the old bollywood style of songs which integrated well with the story and was used to express what characters were feeling and it further moved along the movie as opposed to now with all the dancing with background people in middle of the movie with no relation to the story of the movie....i hate that type of songs...this trend started in the late 80s to entire 90s and still is happening....however things are changing nowadays with many filmmakers opting to put music in the movie that tells the story rather than halts the movie in the middle
Who the f is suggesting them these golden oldies? These golden oldies r about emotions-Indian-style, feelings, music and lyrics. And they r not going to understand it, y r u guys insulting such golden oldies?
@@JinxedMagician movies are supposed to tell about the emotions and feelings. If you think they wouldn't get it, it means you're saying the movie is bad. Think again
Guys, react to legendary Geeta Dutt's song 'Tadbeer se bigdi hui taqdeer bana le' from the movie Baazi (1951) starring legendary Dev Anand, directed by legendary Guru Dutt & music by legendary S.D Burman.! I bet you will groove to this song!
Kudos to whoever has subtitled this song. This is an insanely difficult song to translate to english, and the person has done an amazing job - picking the right words, keeping the essence and the feeling intact, without sounding ridiculous or frivolous. Take a bow, ma'am!
Just as geeta dutt starts singing, it's just my body's reaction to produce tears. I'm not even sad or depressed. It's beautiful and touches your soul. She's underrated.
@@himmsingz yes but Lata Mangeshkar ruled for decades. Geeta Dutt today is extremely underrated, like hemant kumar. Suraiya, Geeta Dutt, hemant kumar all the most soulful singers are extremely underrated in today's time. Geeta Dutt also died young.
@@tarass8737 because lata hijacked hindi film industry. she just had a thin voice which helped her a lot. Singers like geeta dutt, sharada etc if you listen to their songs sound much better the way they sang their songs.
@@tarass8737 Unfortunately her career was cut short by the problems in her marriage and personal life which never ended and gradually she was sidelined from the industry that's when lata ji and asha ji peaked and also like u said she died young at only 41... If not for her untimely demise I am sure she would have been on the same bracket with Asha ji and Lata ji or maybe even ahead....
This is gold! Everything about this song, this movie. It's timeless it's priceless. Guru Dutt, Geeta Dutt, Kaagaz Ke Phool- underappreciated gems that need way more recognition. Ps Indians- please learn the pronunciation of phool from Rick. It's phool not fool.
Great point about the pronunciation 🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 so many Indians don’t realize that there’s no ef in Hindi unlike urdu. Any word with फ should be pronounced as ph and not as f. There is no f in Devanagari script
@@AG-zc2jt i know right? and whenever you correct people they'll be like doesn't matter ph or f and same people will mock you for your english pronunciations. What is sad is so many singers too make the same mistake. Especially with the word phir pronouncing it as fir .
Watch this film. The whole movie is like this song beautiful blend of B/W. I think to much before watching Guru Dutt's movies. They are beautiful and they make me cry. Its said that this movie is close to his life story.
Watch Mahal, you have yet to see Ashok Kumar. Also Chalti ka naam gaadi. That is a fun movie featuring two legends Ashok Kumar and singer Kishore Kumar.
As someone down has commented, Big B said this in an interview,this is the film which he would want to see as his last film, and this very song is his favourite of all! What a beauty you are as always waheeda ji❤️ Hats off to Dutt saab, Kaifi saab and S.D burman for this gem of a masterpiece, very few are fortunate enough to listen to this, let alone view this cinematically filmed masterpiece ❤️
The full song is not there. Where she's running after him and the fans stop her for autographs and he runs into the old studio. There's a story about the ray of light they meet in.
Guru datt...aaah....these unfortunate kids nowadays dont know him. His thespian prowess, His vision, his creation. No one in Indian Film Industry can beat him even this day.
Guru Dutt is quite simply the finest director in Hindi cinema, besides being an underrated actor par excellence with an unnerring eye for cinematic magic and a connoisseur's ear for musical genius. This song from Kaagaz ke Phool (Paper flowers) represents the pinnacle of his mastery over his medium.
Would suggest you to watch - "Saheb Biwi aur Gulam". It's not directed by Mr Guru Dutt. But it's one of his better performances as an actor. You will also get introduced to Meena Kumari - one of the most significant actresses of Hindi Movie Industry - by watching that movie.
The play with Light and Shadow is an essence and mark of a Guru Dutt film. Start with Pyaasa and follow it up with Kaghaz ke Phool. Guru Dutt was a Director way before his time and his narrative was pure art. So he did 2 commercial films to get in the financers make that one film which he made as an art form.
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY! The male lead and director of this film " KAGAZ KE PHOOL "(1959) the great Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehmanji rumoured to have an extramarital affair. This song is sung by the great Geeta Dutt, who was married to Guru Dutt in real life. She knew about the affair as everybody in the industry was talking about it. And if you listen to the song carefully, the lyrics kind of similarly also conveyed the feelings what Geetaji might have felt during singing the song for her husband knowing the fact that this movie/scene would express the inner turmoil between the male and female lead character, played by her husband and his lovelady at that time. Even the movie script of "kagaz ke phool" is kind of inspired by the relationship between Guru Dutt and Waheedaji. ( A troubled director fell in love with an orphan actress but their love faced many obstructions from his wife's family and society ). Their affair started during their first film together..PYAASA in around 1956-57. The marriage between Guru Dutt and Geeta Dutt got affected by the affair and Geeta Dutt became alcoholic and they separated later. Guru Dutt was also a chronic alcoholic. In 1964 he died of accidental overdose with sleeping pills and alcohol because of depression. He attempted suicide twice before that. After hearing the news, Geeta Dutt became ill due to nervous breakdown and became more alcoholic and died of Cirrhosis in 1972. Waheeda ji was also depression and in love with Guru dutt for a long time after his death and was unmarried till 1974. This is a sad and tragic love story between three brilliant artists and I am a fan of all of them. P.S- in 1971, just before her own demise and almost 5 years after the death of her husband, Geetaji sang a song called "Mujhe jaan na kaho meri jaan"(My Dear Beloved, Don't call me dear) from the movie ANUBHAB. It was one of her last recordings and she sang the song so emotionally and could not hold her tears during the recording ( you can hear it in the song ) probably in memory of her loving husband. Here is the link of the song- ua-cam.com/video/F6FkVPOMtvM/v-deo.html
These are lyrically masterpieces which cannot be actually translated retaining the juice of it. In those times it was so challenging making a movie anywhere let alone in just independent India and the sheer passion for art and quality is so evident. There’s a reason people say old is gold.
The best thing about your reactions is you guys never talk or interrupt in between. And you guys have genuine way of reacting. Nothing is made up artificially. And i must admit your pronounciation is on point mostly . Cheers
For both Pyasa and Kagaz ke phool, VK Murthy was the cinematographer who loved to play with light and shade. His camera did wonders. He created that subeam falling into the hall. He won several awards for his brilliant cinematography. I have had the privilege of interviewing him at least two times. He passed away in 2014.
Gurudutt sahab way ahead of his time. The master of pathos, pain, cinemascope, noir, the use of prose and out of the world simmering poetic collaborations. Pyaasa should be the first, has to be. Your hear will go out to the morbidly gut wrenching "Jinhe naaz hai hind par" will remain immortal. As artists you would also relate to Kaagaz Ke Phool, was his commentary on the downward spiral of show business.
The master thinker, the master creator, the visionary, though utterly sensitive to the extent of sinking in depression, nver to come out ultimately! That was the legendary Guru Dutt! In his short life, what he has created , is still unmatchable in many many ways! It's not at all surprising that "Pyasa" is included by "Time" in the list of top 100 ever made movies anywhere in the world! The great film maker was a genius and enigma combined! The way the team of Guru Dutt (the director, actor, producer, co-writer), Abrar Alvi (Writer, assisted Guru Dutt in direction too) and the great cinematographer Murthy (the only cinematographer who got India's highest cinematic honor "Dada Saheb Phalke Award"), has created unbeatable, unsurpassable, astounding masterpieces! Ever salutable people indeed! Thanx for chosing the piece for reactions here!
There are many channels reacting on Indian music or film industry but your channel is best because you truly adore these things and it reflects in your videos.. you are the only channel who always try to understand the Actual sense and beauty behind the song or video.. I love your channel guys..❤️❤️❤️
I remember changing my perception of black and white movies and cinema in general after watching Pyaasa. I was 17, never have looked back...only regret we were never meant to be blessed be more work of Mr. Guru Dutt. A very tragic life in its own right. The singer of this song is his wife, and their life was going through a rough patch.
The fabulous cinematography of Pyaasa & Kaagaz Ke Phool is the brilliance of V K Murthy. He worked closely with Guru Dutt on all his films. 😊 You can start with Pyaasa. Kaagaz Ke Phool was his last film.
Guru Dutt is like father of Indian Motion Picture, his excellence in camera usage and lights was something magical in the era of 1950..Greatest Story Teller of Indian Cinema
Sahib biwi aur ghulam (1962) Last movie of Guru Dutt and also one of the most finest film of trajedy queen Meena Kumari You should definitely react to songs from that movie...
This is one of the best art among the art works;;; This is not a song - this is simply a poetry on celluloid - its cinematography - singing- pathos- acting-lyrics and the song itself placed in the movie- makes it among the very best that Hindi movie has given to world
Some of the must see hindi black and white movies 1. Pyaasa (Definitely although it's too pessimistic) 2. Ab Dilli (Delhi) door nahi 3. Shri 420 4. Chalti ka naam gaadi 5. Jagte Raho 6. Do Aankhen Baara haath (Two eyes and twelve hands) 7. Mother India (although its partially in color)
Waqt means time which had Gone. This was romance happened around 1960 movie Some magazines say both Artists had affair and gurudutt passed away at his fifties
Please watch Pyasa .... to start on Guru Dutt..... and this song is a legendary masterpiece of art... lyrics, cinematography, music, acting .... everything. And yes 50s and 60s was Golden era of Indian music and some directors were masters of picturing songs. Guru Dutt and Vijay Anand undisputedly topped .. they gave such wonderful song picturisations
Between Pyasaa (meaning Thirsty) and Kagaz ke Phool (meaning Paper Flowers)... i would recommend Pyasaa whose storyline is based on social behaviour whereas Kagaz ke Phool is a sad love story..
I recommend you see Guru Dutt's outstanding trilogy in any order: Pyaasa Kagaz Ke Phool Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam All three are in Black & White with remarkable cinematography, great music and and outstanding performances. Do also read about his tragic life.
Legend has it that the lighting scene where the light comes from the top was done using natural sunlight not a spotlight. It took many days of planning and execution to get it right.
Yes. I read this in one of Guru Dutt’s biography- 10 years with Guru Dutt or something like that.
It was explained by VK Murthy, the cinematographer in an interview. Guru Dutt had asked Murthy if he could create a shaft of light will almost parallel beam ( this was BEFORE Kagaz... was conceived).

Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam was a remake of Bengali film Shaheb Bibi Golam, which is the adaptation from the Bengali novel of the same name.

Watch Pyaasa first and then Kaagaz ke Phool. Both films are equally beautiful and have been made from the heart.
Cinematography in this song is priceless ❤️
V K Murthy,the cinematographer of this film, got Filmfare Award for Best Cinematographer.
Start with Pyaasa then sahib biwi aur ghulam then kagaz ke phool... these r his Best works there are more though where he acted but didn't direct!
It was directed by him only just he has not given his name

Pyaasa is listed by Time magazine among "All-TIME" 100 best movies, so is Kagaz ke Phool.
Pyasa = Thirsty
Kagaz ke Phool =
Flowers made of paper.
Great to see you guys reacting to old golds❤️

He's taking hindi classes
Pyaasa is one of my favorite Hindi Films.
It is magnificent. I can watch it a million times and still not get bored.

Simplicity in its' most beautiful form...
Thank u guys for reacting to this song this is so cinematic, visually, and poetic lines the lighting is so good I will definately see this movie.
Oh God i really love this song😭❤️

Definetly!!!!!
+1
Pyaasa is a cult classic. Do watch it.
Rick : Waqt is pronounced with k sound with q in spelling..
Yes.. Bingo.. 👌🏻
No, it is pronounced q only. The क of hindi is different from the क़ of Urdu. You have to pronounce it from the back of the throat like a q sound.
No one is appreciating Geeta ji she sang is flawlessly ... My favourite
Geeta dutt’s voice - so magical, so much pain dripping from every word. A divine voice. So sad that she died so young.
now you are entering to dilip kumars era.

3. Shri 420
4. Chalti ka naam gaadi
5. Jagte Raho
6. Do Aankhen Baara haath (Two eyes and twelve hands)

Waqt means time which had
Gone. This was romance happened around 1960 movie

Master class song. I love the song so much.
These pieces are pure gold
Start with Pyaasa for understanding and appreciation of Guru Dutt's creativity❤️
Please watch Pyasa .... to start on Guru Dutt..... and this song is a legendary masterpiece of art... lyrics, cinematography, music, acting .... everything. And yes 50s and 60s was Golden era of Indian music and some directors were masters of picturing songs. Guru Dutt and Vijay Anand undisputedly topped .. they gave such wonderful song picturisations
One of the best tragic movie of its time. Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rahman, my all time favorites.
Good job with the pronunciation, Korbin!😀
Between Pyasaa (meaning Thirsty) and Kagaz ke Phool (meaning Paper Flowers)... i would recommend Pyasaa whose storyline is based on social behaviour whereas Kagaz ke Phool is a sad love story..
I recommend you see Guru Dutt's outstanding trilogy in any order:
Pyaasa
Kagaz Ke Phool
Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam
All three are in Black & White with remarkable cinematography, great music and and outstanding performances. Do also read about his tragic life.
