Dir. Guru Dutt, India, 138mins, 1957

Guru Dutt’s poignant, romantic masterpiece is an immortal classic from the golden age of Hindi cinema.

Set in Post independence Calcutta (now Kolkata), Pyaasa tells the story of Vijay, an unemployed poet who strives for his work to be published as only a few appreciate his endeavors – his mother and Gulab, a young prostitute who he befriends and becomes his muse. But after he is mistakenly believed killed in an accident and his reputation soars, he sees that success may hand only on a twist of fate.

‘More than 50 years later, Pyaasa continues to remain a formidable work of cinema that presents the art of filmmaking at its finest.’
