An interpretation of the title Kaagaz ke phool (exact translation means "Paper flowers".) Bees look for honey and hunt for flowers. A song from movie "Dekhi zamaane ki yaari" says "Oh thirsty bees, fly away from here these are all Paper flowers (naturally they don't have what the bees are searching for!").So this name suits the movie in a way that it's saying the world as artificial paper flowers.
The humanitarian tendency within Guru Dutt's films is one of the most endearing aspects of the Indian film director and actor's projects. The bare bones of the story in Kaagaz Ke Phool are reminiscent of the Hollywood classic A Star Is Born. However, the sensitive Dutt makes it his own vision with his understanding of irony, his profound sympathy for the human condition and his photographic stylisations. Repeatedly running through the film like a leitmotif is the song Bichhde sabhi baari baari, capturing the film's profound sense of loss. His sympathy for the underprivileged is palpable, and this is arguably Dutt's most personal film. It's almost as prophetic as it is autobiographic.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Kaagaz Ke Phool is one of the finest movies ever to flop, and Guru Dutt's directing career came to an end. Kaagaz Ke Phool however, took that tradition of romantic melodrama onto a wholly new, and unprecedented plane, and to see how it did so, we need only to continue with the sequence of how Sinha discovers Shanti.That sequence spins throughout the film a whole dimension of cinematic space, as shown by the two extraordinary and justly celebrated scenes of Sinha and Shanti standing apart in a cavernous studio, lit centrally by a straightforward metaphoric beam, as their disembodied spirits emerge and unite.
Re watched after ages, with a different perspective altogether.
Guru Dutt was trying to break all the stereotypes of human with which we're struggling even today.
Guru Dutt builds the character with a lot of empathy in them and progresses as his own interpretation of Devdas, which is also a film he creates within the film.
Creatively using music to project the psyche of a loner and doomed love between the leads.
VK Murthy's exceptional camera work, the move ins, move outs so impeccably done. Not one shot that goes waste or out of context.
Most of us to whom cinema basically offers more relief than anything else in this world, the question of "life versus cinema" seems to hang above our existence. How much can a person give to art-form without sacrificing oneself? Kaagaz Ke Phool might be the most beautiful reflection on these themes I've ever come across in all cinema. If we are afraid to live, what are we then? What can be left of ourselves?
