Kaagaz Ke Phool was the first Indian cinemascope film.
It is a 1959 romantic drama film produced and directed by Guru Dutt, who also played the lea role in the film along with Waheeda Rehman. It marked a technical revolution in Indian cinematography and is widely considered to be ahead of its time.
The film was a box office disaster in its time owing to its theme which the masses could not identify with, but was later resurrected as a cult classic in the 1980s. Its failure, both critically and commercially, severely impacted Guru Dutt and brought his studio on the verge of ruins. Dutt never officially directed a film after this.
Today Kaagaz ke Phool is a part of syllabi in many film schools. It is considered to be the finest self-reflexive film to have ever been made in India.
