Historians have speculated that the course of Hindi cinema in the 1950s would have been very different, had this accident not happened.

The Shammi-Arjun starrer Malhaar (1951), which was conceived by S.K.Pal and directed by Harish, was first of the two films produced under the banner of Darling Films by singer Mukesh (the other being “Anuraag” in 1956). It had a young and largely inexperienced cast and crew, for many of whom it was their debut vehicle. The film was a showpiece of technical brilliance, especially the taut and precise editing by S. Prabhakar and deft cinematography by M. Rajaram, considering the equipment available to him in that era.

Guru Dutt is one of the few Hindi film personalities on whom one can find tonnes of information by way of articles, books and film documentaries. Within a short span of 13 years as a producer, director and actor, he left us with his rich legacy in about a dozen films. Under his own banner, Guru Dutt Films, he covered almost all the main genre of films – crime thriller, comedy, romance, social, melodrama and period. As an actor, his eyes spoke more than the dialogues. As a director, he was known for taking shots with unusual camera angles. The songs in his films narrated the story of the films on the continuum. His films were artistic within the ambit of what is called as popular commercial cinema. Even 48 years after his death, I guess, he has more fan followings than when he was alive. His films are the subject matter of intellectual discussions and they are a part of some film institutes’ curriculum.
