Kaagaz Ke Phool (Hindi: कागज़ के फूल; Urdu: کاغذ کے پھول‎; Kāgaz kē Phūl, "Paper Flowers") is a 1959 Hindi film produced and directed by Guru Dutt, who also played the lead role in the film. The film was a box office disaster in its time but was later resurrected as a world cinema cult classic in the 1980s. The film's music was composed by S. D. Burman and the lyrics were written by Kaifi Azmi, giving hits like "Waqt ne Kiya Kya Haseen Situm", sung by Geeta Dutt. Many consider this film to be much ahead of its time.
