Vijay (Guru Dutt) writes unpopular poems about the destitute and poor. Ridiculed by his brothers and scorned by publishers, Vijay finds encouragement in a sweet prostitute, Gulabo (Waheeda Rehman). When a homeless man wearing a coat Vijay gave him is killed, Gulabo convinces a publisher to print his poems, believing Vijay to be dead.

Part social commentary, part morality tale, part portrait of the artist, and part hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold tract, Guru Dutt, with his 1957 feature, Pyaasa (The Thirst), has delivered equal parts style and content in harmonious application. Undertaking the lead role, the director plays the part of Vijay, a poet come upon hard times, who while teetering on the brink of self-destructive despair, flails against a post-Partition India where society, intoxicated by the allure of materialistic fulfillment, has succumbed to cynicism. An anonymous street singer (Dutt’s wife, Geeta Dutt) articulates the work’s unifying theme, “Slake the thirst that lies deep in my soul.” This ravaged India is revealed in many ways as a Wasteland. The societal infrastructure has crumbled, and the thirst that pervades cannot be assuaged with chemical spirit or other material satiation. Meena (Mala Sinha), who for Vijay was both his love and his poetic muse during their college days, left him for better material prospects, after which his mirage of a life of idyllic pastures dissipated. As a result, Vijay’s poetry became increasingly dark and heavy, and in exchange for his bliss-tinted blinders, he acquired a worm’s eye view of the world. While this perspective yielded insights into the surrounding social malaise, the myopic Vijay remained unaware of how much he was still a part of it. Many Messianic references abound, w...
