Kaagaz Ke Phool (1959)
Directed by Guru Dutt
The film tells, in flashback, the story of Suresh Sinha, a famous film director and his relationship with an aspiring actress.
Waheeda Rehman in Kaagaz Ke Phool कागज़ के फूल (Guru Dutt, 1959)
holy trinity of gorgeous hindi movies being ahead of their times. sob, smile, and feel your soul getting uplifted—hard smashes.
Late director Guru Dutt’s two iconic films ‘Pyaasa’ and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam’ are currently being screened in a 4K-restored version at PVR
No but one thing I feel like my critical brain will point out is the fact that Waheeda Rehman's character had no subjectivity at all. Even the other lover who was sort of villainized for leaving Guru Dutt's character was thoda..matlab..no I mean it just shows how situated the film is in its time because men just never seem to be able to empathise with women's problems in society?
Someone in the theatre called her a gold digger and istg I was gonna fight that guy lowkey. I love it when films are philosophical but it is so frustrating when it centres men so much that when other men watch it they get absurd reasons to justify their misogyny ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TOPIC OF ESTRANGED LOVERS or a women leaving a man plotline comes in. IT SO FRUSTRATING
but still I do like the film a lot. I love the music so much. I just hate that gender becomes very unseen when deeper philosophical topics are explored in older films— EVEN Amar Prem was irritating because of that cause I feel like making Sharmila Tagore's character so damsel in distress and then having Rajesh Khanna come in and save her and 'teach' all these philosophical ideas to her is just...like did men really think women didn't understand pain? That women didn't understand suffering? That women weren't aware of the paradoxical nature of existence in a society that seems to treat humans like they don't matter? If anyone knows what that feels like it's women more than men.
I don't know i don't know it's just some hurried thoughts and stuff. I feel like the fact that the film is timeless in it's messaging while also sidelining the aspect of gender can be true at once. But best not to expect utna from a black and white pre-1960s film about feminism and all.
