A master piece by emotional craftsman Guru Dutt ahead of it's time. Photography is benchmark for black and white movies. The theme and story is good but with swift, effective editing the movie would have been more appealing. Few scenes are dragging and repeatetive in expressing the sentiments of a successful director with unencouraging family background.
Guru Dutt is a great film maker, more emotional with weak heart to take on the commercial impacts of film world
