Guru Dutt team

The Guru Dutt team was a group of filmmakers formed by Guru Dutt for some of his works.[1] Some well-known films that the team created include Chaudhvin Ka Chand, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Kaagaz Ke Phool, and Pyaasa. In 2005 Pyaasa was ranked among the top 100 movies by Time magazine.[2]

Much of their work found critical appreciation long after these movies were made. Movies such as Kaagaz Ke Phool, which was a huge commercial failure of its days, found critical and commercial success when it was re-released in the 1980s in Europe. Dutt has a huge following in France, Germany, and Japan, where his movie festivals are held occasionally.[3][4]
