Guru Dutt's character in *Kaagaz ke phool* gives up on the world; he checks out, and won't allow himself an iota of happiness even when he has the opportunity. In *Pyaasa* he realizes that there is some joy to be taken from life even when you are a tortured misunderstood artist. I love the ending especially. Two things that stand out for me about *Pyaasa* are first, the idea that there could even be a movie whose hero is a poet; and second, the film's very sympathetic stance toward women in dire circumstances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
