The '''Guru Dutt team''' is a group of filmmakers formed by [[Guru Dutt]] for some of his works.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/guru-dutt-s-94th-birth-anniversary-a-master-director-who-was-tormented-by-life/story-Q9eqv3AJT86dUntPubOiWN.html|title=Guru Dutt’s 94th birth anniversary: A master director who was tormented by life|date=9 July 2019|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref><br />
<br />
Some well-known films that the team created include ''[[Chaudhvin Ka Chand]]'', ''[[Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam]]'', ''[[Kaagaz Ke Phool]]'', and ''[[Pyaasa]]''. ''Pyaasa'' is ranked among the top 100 movies of all times by [[Time magazine]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://entertainment.time.com/2005/02/12/all-time-100-movies/#pyaasa-1957 |title= All-TIME 100 Movies |author=[[Richard Corliss]] and [[Richard Schickel]] |publisher=Time Entertainment |accessdate=2 Nov 2011 |date=2005-02-12}}</ref> Much of their work found critical appreciation long after these movies were made. Movies such as ''Kaagaz Ke Phool'', which was a huge commercial failure of its days, found critical and commercial success when it was re-released in the 1980s in Europe. Dutt has a huge fan-following in France, Germany, and Japan, where his movie festivals are held occasionally.<ref>{{cite web|title=Asian Film Series No.9 GURU DUTT Retorospective|publisher=Japan Foundation Asia Center|date=2000–2001|url=http://www.jpf.go.jp/e/culture/new/old/0101/01_03.html|accessdate=2009-04-26|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090620144748/http://www.jpf.go.jp/e/culture/new/old/0101/01_03.html|archivedate=2009-06-20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thefederal.com/features/in-life-and-death-guru-dutt-remains-an-enigma/|title=In life and death, Guru Dutt remains an enigma|first=Janani|last=Sampath|date=10 October 2019|website=The Federal}}</ref><br />

<br />
==Post Dutt's death==<br />
The team discontinued working after the death of [[Guru Dutt]], when he was 39 years old.<br />
<br />
After his death, only a few of the members were able to achieve the critical acclaim they did as a team. Partly the reason was Guru Dutt's eye for detail. ''Pyaasa'' and ''Kaagaz Ke Phool'' are an inspiration for directors even today. The exceptions were [[Dev Anand]], [[S.D. Burman]], [[Sahir Ludhianvi]], [[Hemant Kumar]], and [[Mohammad Rafi]], who were already established when [[Guru Dutt]] entered film making. [[Waheeda Rehman]] is also an exception, as she performed par excellence in her coming films like Teesri Kasam, Bees Saal Baad, Reshma aur Shera, Khamoshi and her magnum opus Guide. V.K.Murthy continued work with Promod Chakravarthy but his notable work was in [[Tamas (film)|Tamas]] (1987), directed by his erstwhile assistant [[Govind Nihalani]].<br />
