- Ten Years with Guru Dutt is a biography of Indian filmmaker Guru Dutt that was written by journalist Sathya Saran. It is based on Saran's conversations with the screenwriter Abrar Alvi about Dutt and Alvi's collaborations, which began when they met on the sets of Baaz (1953) and ended with Dutt's death in 1964. This information was compiled into a 23-chapter book with first-person narrative interspersed with Saran's commentary. Penguin Group published Ten Years with Guru Dutt on 25 July 2008. Saran started conceiving ideas for the book after reading an Indian Express interview of Alvi about Dutt in 2003. At the end of the article, the interviewer noted there were many untold stories and challenged readers who wanted to listen to them. Consequently, Saran met Alvi between 2004 and 2007 at Alvi's apartment in Andheri with the intent of writing a series of articles, which were later developed into a book. Upon its publication, the book was declared a commercial success and received acclaim from critics, who said its most interesting parts were those covering the production of the 1962 film Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, that both Dutt and Alvi worked on. Critics also highlighted Saran's writing for its simplicity and clarity and for providing informative commentary. In 2012, Ten Years with Guru Dutt was adapted into a stage play of the same name, which also generated positive reviews for its performances and costume designs. (en)
