| Abstract | "Lalitha Gopalan's study of Kaagaz Ke Phool (Paper Flowers) (1959) explores its visual style and experimentation with expressive forms of melodrama, including song picturisations and heightened performances by Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman. Drawing on interviews with practitioners and people close to Dutt, she sketches the original contexts of the film's production and reception. Positioning the film as an archive of filmmaking, Gopalan uses it as a lens through which to assess Dutt's influence on popular Indian cinema in the long decade of the 1950s, and global melodrama more broadly"-- Provided by publisher. |
