If you loved Wake Up Sid, try Pyaasa

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Wake Up Sid, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Pyaasa is

Here's one that's been called the greatest film ever made. A poet, presumed dead, discovers his work is finally appreciated, albeit under someone else's name. Fame proves hollow, so he renounces the world. Maybe a bit on the nose, but effective.
