Music in The Film
Guru Dutt's music composer of earlier films S.D.Burman had warned him not to make Kagaz ke Phool which resembled his own life. When Guru Dutt insisted on making the film S.D.Burman said that would be his film with Guru Dutt. (Total Recall, Times Now news channel 8 July 2012) Hence the Music of this film was offered to composer Ravi and was critically acclaimed, and the lyrics by his all time favourite Shakeel Badayuni. Interestingly, It was a creative choice of Guru Dutt's to have the title track in color while the rest of the film was Black and White.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or film:
“Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
“Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
Droop herbs and flowers;
Fall grief in showers;
“Our beauties are not ours”:
Oh, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
—British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
