Well, in our film theory class, we just discussed that—it often takes that long for a bold work to find its right audience and context. Honestly, it took time for critics and filmmakers to fully absorb its language and see past the initial controversy. For me, watching *Pyaasa* here, I see how a film's true stature grows slowly, like my own understanding of Guru Dutt's genius didn't come from one viewing but from living a little life myself. Sometimes, a masterpiece needs the world to catch up to its loneliness.
