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!!

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 luv these old song reactions, especially with wonderful subs.

This is an alltime great song. For watching first..Pyaasa, the classic.

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.

Omg! One of my fav classic song❤

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.

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 ❤️

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.

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.

You must watch this old classic and ofcourse Pyaasa

Great to see you guys reacting to old golds❤️

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 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.

Geeta dutt’s voice - so magical, so much pain dripping from every word. A divine voice. So sad that she died so young.

No one is appreciating Geeta ji she sang is flawlessly ... My favourite

My favourite female voice of all time. Geeta dutt😍 Her songs touches my soul so deeply that I cannot describe it in words.🤐

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.

I love your selection. And hats off to soumya for such a perfect subbing!

Oh God i really love this song😭❤️

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!

Pyaasa should be the first Guru Dutt's Film you watch.

Kagaz ke phool and Pyasaa are two films that Amitabh Bachhan loves. Guru Dutt saheb was way ahead of his times and surely it’s an understatement that he would be in the list of top 3 film makers in the entire country. On Pyasaa the great legendary actor Dilip Kumar was signed, and Guru Dutt saheb was the director and he waited from morning until late afternoon, and when you see this film the first shot of this film was shot that very evening and Guru Dutt took the call, and acted himself, rest is history. Guru Dutt saheb was from Karnataka a person who was a master photographer and later this helped him in the process of film making, his sense of music and language was impeccable. A lot of people landed in Bombay just with an aspiration to work with Guru Dutt saheb, one of them is Javed Akhtar. There is lot more, he never got any award. His tragic tales in films took over his own life, separated from his wife, the great legendary singer Geeta Dutt. Became alcoholic and died due to over drinking. Salute to Guru Dutt saheb- for his films till date entertain and inspire film makers!

One of my favorite songs!! I can't believe our guys have come this far. This song is such a classic. Makes me sad and happy at the same time.

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.

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..❤️❤️❤️

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.

Thanks guys for watching this song... this is gold and I heard it after a longtime... my mom loved this song... ❤

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.

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.

Please react to the song " jane woh kaise log the " it's a great great song

Thank you so much for reacting to this song. This is one of my most favourite songs.

Voice of Geeta Dutt ... Memories you guys..

One of the best tragic movie of its time. Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rahman, my all time favorites.

Guru Dutt The Director of this movie is master of light and shades. He was visionary as well far ahead from time

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.

Gurudatt is a legend, a director ,actor, visionary ahead of its time Kagej ke phool best movie of gurudatt But its cinema lose he died vry early....

The storyline of “A Star is Born” is pretty much picked from “Kāgaz ke Phool” . A must watch master piece

Goosebumps , wow what a song.

You see all his movies 🙂

Really great subs!!! Thank you for doing justice to the song albeit some feelings just can’t be fully translated :)

Guru Dutt and his movies, including Pyaasa, have a large cult following in France and Germany. It was a huge commercial success during its 1984 French Premiere, something Guru Dutt never witnessed during his lifetime. Since then, the movie has been screened to huge mass appeal the world over, like the recent screening at The 9th International Festival of Asian Cinema held in Vesoul, in February 2003.[14] This one's taken from Wikipedia 👆. This movie was quite ahead of its time in India. After quite a few decades, people appreciated it. The direction and the angle of lighting is quite revolutionary,given the budget constraints of that era

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.

FYI - Big B adores Waheeda ji and she is his favorite actress of all time.

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- kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGp6zbiJf7DaprA.html

Master class song. I love the song so much.

This Video of this song is very dark .... If u see this song from movie uploaded on youtube you will get more detail of cinematography.... Also this movie was shot using cinemascope Which makes this 1959 masterpiece more wider than a 16:9 wide HDTV of todays

Rick and korbin both of you really great guy.

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)

At last you watched it. Guru Datt is one of best writer director of Indian cinema. You must watch his movies like Kagaaz ke phool, Pyassa and Sahib Biwi or Gulam. The film is regarded as the first Indian film in CinemaScope and Dutt's final film as director.Many consider this film to be much ahead of its time.( wiki)

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

Thank you for reacting to this! 😊
