The Guru Dutt team was a group of filmmakers formed by Guru Dutt for some of his works. Some well-known films that the team created include Chaudhvin Ka Chand, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Kaagaz Ke Phool, and Pyaasa. In 2005 Pyaasa was ranked among the top 100 movies by Time magazine.
Much of their work found critical appreciation long after these movies were made. Movies such as Kaagaz Ke Phool, which was a huge commercial failure of its days, found critical and commercial success when it was re-released in the 1980s in Europe. Dutt has a huge following in France, Germany, and Japan, where his movie festivals are held occasionally.

After Dutt's death
The team stopped working together after Dutt's death at 39.
After his death, only a few of the members were able to achieve the critical acclaim they did as a team. Partly the reason was Guru Dutt's eye for detail. Pyaasa and Kaagaz Ke Phool are an inspiration for directors even today. The exceptions were Dev Anand, S.D. Burman, Sahir Ludhianvi, Hemant Kumar, and Mohammad Rafi, who were already established when Guru Dutt entered film making. Waheeda Rehman is also an exception, as she performed par excellence in her coming films like Teesri Kasam, Bees Saal Baad, Reshma Aur Shera, Khamoshi and her magnum opus Guide. V. K. Murthy continued work with Promod Chakravarthy but his notable work was in Tamas (1987), directed by his erstwhile assistant Govind Nihalani.
