Ten Years with Guru Dutt: Abrar Alvi's Journey By Saran Sathya Paperback 0143416928 9780143416920 Ten Years with Guru Dutt: Abrar Alvis Journey Guru Dutt is probably the only Indian film maker who, within the parameters of the box office, made a personal statement with his cinema. His films stand testimony not only to his own genius but also to the creativity of his team, comprising stalwarts like cameraman V.K. Murthy, music director S.D. Burman and writer Abrar Alvi, among others. In Ten Years with Guru Abrar Alvis Journey , Sathya Saran looks at the tumultuous yet incredibly fecund relationship between the mercurial director and his equally talented, albeit unsung, writer a partnership that evolved over a decade until Dutts tragic death in 1964. Starting his career as a driver and chaperone to Dutts producer on the sets of Baaz , Abrar soon caught the attention of the director with his sharp ear for and understanding of film dialogue. With Aar Paar in 1954, Abrar rewrote the rules of dialogue writing in Hindi cinema, until then marked by theatricality and artificiality. He followed it up with masterpieces like Mr and Mrs 55 , Pyaasa and Kaagaz Ke Phool , before donning the directors mantle with great success in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. Brimming with lively anecdotes on how Abrar honed his skills by writing than 300 love letters; how an accident involving a buffalo led to the discovery of Waheeda Rehman; and Guru Dutts visit to a kotha to get the ambience right for Pyaasa, this acclaimed book is a warm and insightful look at two remarkable artistes who inspired each other to create movie magic.
