Gurudutt. A school of astounding cinematic thoughts and an eternal inspiration for the filmmakers. A genius who gave us timeless epics upholding Indian roots & values, yet capturing the Western cinema’s techniques & trends. Driven by the standards of the global cinema, he was well ahead of his times. Inspiring the young lot of directors today, he stays contemporary, even today! Not only the dialogues and the direction, he gave a fresh new perspective to the finer aspects of filmmaking, like the use of light & shadow, camera angles, background music, chorus for songs, special effects in songs and the blend of comedy genre with the serious content. At his birth centenary year, he is still with us with his insatiable quest for the best in Hindi cinema. And with his fabulous filmography, he would remain to be an icon for the world cinema.
