LOve, solitariness, hungriness and everything in betwixt was seamlessly explored by i rebel Indian filmmaker-actor: Guru Dutt. He was just 39 when he died, in 1964. Born on 9 July 1925, in Karnataka, this is his centennial birth year. And among the many tributes being showered on him, is a dantangoi performance titled Daastan-e-Guru Dutt.The show that will be staged in the city today will be performed by Fouzia Dastango. “I’m not a film historian, so I wanted to approach this story with authenticity and respect,” shares Fouzia, adding, “What inspired me to conceptualise a dastangoi performance on Guru Dutt was a deep sense of admiration, and a little ache, for a man who gave so much to Indian cinema yet never truly got his due in his lifetime. This year marks his birth centenary, and I couldn’t think of a better moment to revisit the story of the man who gave us Pyaasa (1957) and Kaagaz Ke Phool (1959).”With songs sung by singer Latika Jain, and script penned by Abbas Qamar, this dastangoi is well researched by Asha Batra. Fouzia adds, “For me, this isn’t just a tribute. It’s a way of giving voice to a man who once spoke for all the unheard souls of cinema. So, I reached out to Asha, who works in film documentation and preservation. Her insights grounded the idea in solid research and sensitivity.”Their joint passion and vision brought this daastan to life. Vikaas Jalan, the presenter of the show, adds, “Guru Dutt was an enigma that has been very close to my heart. I used to enjoy watching his films alone and listen to the music of his films, where every lyric, every word had such a deep meaning... We thus came up with this dastangoi as we wanted to inspire and expose the new generation to the life and times of this unparalleled genius.”Catch It LiveWhat: Daastan-e-Guru Dutt – A musical tribute to the cinematic geniusWhere: Kamani Auditorium, 1 Copernicus Marg, Mandi HouseWhen: October 11Timing: 6pmNearest Metro Station: Mandi House (Blue & Violet Lines) For more, follow HT City Delhi Junction
