Vasanth Kumar Shivashankar Padukone (9 July 1925 – 10 October 1964), better known as Guru Dutt, was an Indian film director, producer and actor. He made 1950s and 1960s classics such as ''Pyaasa'', ''Kaagaz Ke Phool'' , ''Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam'' and ''Chaudhvin Ka Chand''. In particular, ''Pyaasa'' and ''Kaagaz Ke Phool'' are now included among the greatest films of all time, both by Time magazine's "All-TIME" 100 best movies 〔 and by the ''Sight & Sound'' critics' and directors' poll,〔 where Dutt himself is included among the greatest film directors of all time.〔 He is sometimes referred to as "India's Orson Welles". In 2010, he was included among CNN's "top 25 Asian actors of all time".〔http://www.hindustantimes.com/Big-B-in-CNN-s-top-25-Asian-actors-list/H1-Article1-515456.aspx〕〔http://www.indianexpress.com/pictureStory.php?galId=768&pg=1&view=1〕 He is most famous for making lyrical and artistic films within the context of popular Hindi cinema of the 1950s, and expanding its commercial conventions, starting with his 1957 film, ''Pyaasa''. Several of his later works have a cult following. His movies go full house when re-released; especially in Germany, France and Japan. ==Early life and background== Guru Dutt was born on 9 July 1925, in Bangalore to Shivashanker Rao Padukone and Vasanthi Padukone in a Konkani Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin family.〔http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/sep/20dutt.htm〕 His parents were originally settled at Panambur, Mangalore in South Kanara district (present day Dakshina Kannada) of Karnataka.〔Famous personalities from Tulunad 〕 His father was initially a headmaster, and then a bank employee. His mother Vasanthi, while initially a housewife, later taught in a school, taught private classes and also wrote short stories and translated Bengali novels into Kannada. Vasanthi was 16 when Guru Dutt was born. His mother outlived him and died in 1994, 30 years after his death. Guru Dutt spent his early childhood in Bhowanipore area of Calcutta (now Kolkata) and he grew close to Bengali culture and intellect. He even adopted the name Guru Dutt, Dutt (more commonly Datta or Dutta) being a common Bengali surname. He spoke fluent Bengali.〔 He was joined by three younger brothers, Atmaram, Devidas and Vijay and a younger sister, Lalitha. The Indian film director, Kalpana Lajmi, is Lalitha's daughter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guru Dutt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
