Guru Dutt’s Guru Dutt’s films have been a montage of his

Top 10 Iconic real life. From Pyaasa to Baharein Phir Bhi
Aayengi, Guru Dutt has opened his heart to
Songs cinema and gives us some truly evergreen
songs to remember him by.

10 Preetam Aan Milo – Sung by Geeta Dutt
and picturised on Madhubala, who is seen
yearning to meet her husband Preetam –
Guru Dutt. The classic number from Mr and
Mrs 55 which was actually taken from an
album by C H Atma.

9 Koi Door Se Awaaz De Chale Aao – A song
from Sahib Biwi aur Gulam that portraits
the angst of a woman, the loneliness of her
state in the middle of the night, sung by Geeta
Dutt. The song is picturised on Guru Dutt
who was woke at the middle of the night
hearing her sing, chale aao…

8 Aaj Sajan Mohe Aang Laga Lo – A song
from the film Pyaasa sung by Geeta Dutt
and picturised on Waheeda Rehman. Again,
Guru Dutt brings out the angst of a woman
with unfulfilled desires beautifully. The
remains a hit even today.

7 Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar – The Aar Paar
hit song that has been remixed in so many
versions and heard even today. In this song
Guru Dutt being playful with Shakeela
evokes the playfulness in the viewer.
