Guru Dutt’s

Late director Guru Dutt’s two iconic films, Pyaasa and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, are currently being screened in a 4K-restored version at PVR theatres across India after being re-released two weeks ago.

Following the overwhelming success of the re-release of 4K-restored Guru Dutt classics Baaz, Pyaasa, Mr. & Mrs. 55, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Aar Paar and Chaudhvin Ka Chand, as part of his centenary celebrations two weeks ago, Ultra Media & Entertainment is continuing to screen two of his most iconic titles, Pyaasa and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, in PVR theatres across India due to high audience demand.

Both films, restored in 4K by NFDC-NFAI, drew exceptional response during their special centenary showcase, reaffirming the lasting relevance of Guru Dutt’s artistry and the golden era of Indian cinema.

Widely regarded as two of the greatest works of Indian cinema, Pyaasa is a lyrical reflection on love, art, and disillusionment in post-Independence India. It was written, directed and produced by Guru Dutt.

Apart from Guru Dutt, the film also starred Mala Sinha and Waheeda Rehman in the lead roles.

As for Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, the film is renowned for its unforgettable performances, led by Meena Kumari. It remains a haunting exploration of decline, loneliness, and longing.
