pyasa? what movie is that? and why he would commit suicide? again?
Because he already did it once or believed to have done it. Gurudatt was a lot more talented and renowned actor/producer and director. Shahrukh is loud and hams a lot of times.
Pyaasa is an old time classic, about a very talented poet who got no recognition during his life time. After his death in extreme poverty same people who mocked him or ignored his talent publish his work, making profits on it and lavishing praise on him. It turned out he was not really dead and it was a misunderstanding when he suddenly turns up during the celebrations of his success. However not many recognize him, or feign to not to. He also doesn't want to be part of such a crowd and disappears never to be found again.
Apart for Pyaasa, Kagaz ke phool and Sahab Bibi aur Gulam are his most famous and appreciated work.
PS: Pyaasa and Kaagaz Ke Phool are included among the greatest films of all time, by Time magazine's "All-TIME" 100 best movies.
