GuruDutt is phenominal Director, outstanding actor, but always Raj Kapoor is over rated consider better than him. I dont know why. Where his work was original and more close to Indian emotions, while Raj Kapoor films mostly inspired by hollywood and Raj Kapoor always tried to act like Chalie Chaplin. No doubt Raj Kapoor was good in business and he knew how to make big hits ans sale movies.

I admit. It was also my question 100 times !!!!!!! In Bollywood(now should be changed in Mumbai to Mollywood)there r sooooooooooo many does not deserve what they got or achieved by only a business tactics/oiling(???every where) marketing policy or...anything else/called OVER RATED ! While those r really deserve by their quality/capability-always considered UNDER RATED here!!! WHAT to SAY- YEH INDIA hei bhai...yaha saab kuchh chal ta hei...ITS HAPPENS only in INDIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DO or DIE/maaro yaa maro//////
This peice is really informative. like me, countless of otheres were in the impression that the legendary guru dutt was from bengal.anyways from whereever he was , he truly was a great actor and d irector, forget caste or creed.

No doubt. His movies are considered to be text book classics in film making. He was one of the first one to extensively use 100mm, 75mm telephoto lens for close up shot which blurred the background and capturing the expression of the actor in sharp focus. This technique came to be known as --Guru Dutt Shot-- in the film industry. Unfortunately this dimwit writer chose to highlight is caste rather than his achievement. Apparently rediff hires cheap journalists and if you need to seek information do not refer to rediff.Here you will find article on Best body in Bollywood or racist article like above. I would suggest google search engine or Wikepedia.
Feel like I am in circa 1870 india. Surely this article is written by a marriage broker. This reminds me of an IT consultant who refused to go abroad since his category of brahmin did not allow him to eat food cooked outside (or food handled by lower caste). Finally joind a govt. computer dept. . The impresion I had is that India is past all this and really global. But what is this Religion-Caste-SubCaste-SubSubCaste....... not that I care just an observation.

yeah i do support your statement....its a kind of promotion of a particular community...
Who is this Rediff contributor? Saraswat Brahmins? Saraswat Brahmins ki Jai Ho. Anyone in Maharashtra will tell how snooty the Saraswats are, how they look upon with disdain upon non-Saraswat passers-by or neighbors in their neighborhood.
Is this Rediff contributor a BJP? What an ugly article in this day and age. Shame on him. On the other hand, hope his children marry only Saraswats to proginate only Saraswats.

Hey Man, What's your problem...why U see bad things in everything...get a life, seems like U don't like brahmins...in older glorious Bengal almost all the famous writers were Brahmins. Why bring BJP into this...seems to me U must be a Retard (Commie) or Nehru/Gandhi Family's foot licking dog. Everybody loves the Romantic Hero Guru Dutt and the songs he had in his movies.

BR, I fail to understand what the specific connection is between Maharashtra and Konkani Saraswats who hail from Mangalore and use Kannada script to write Konkani?! Not everything is connected to MH- and MH is hardly the perfect example of communal harmony. So pray, what is connection you seek to derive? Or else is it just your personal allergy to anything south of Vindhyas?

Why does writer have to say "SARASWAT" Brahmans? Will he now come back with a Mumta Kulkarni shares her surname with "KULKARNI blah blah blah'.

And who cares about Maharshtra Saraswats or Konkani ones. But to have a piece online about the virtues and illustrious companies of "SARASWATS".
