V.K.Murthy,the name mostly unfamiliar to many movie enthusiastics in India.For the record he is one of the eye of legendary Guru Dutt.He is the man who captured the beauty of Waheeda Rehman in Kagaz ke Phool.Yes,he is the cinematographer who started a new era in Indian cinema industry and now the first cinematographer to win Dadasaheb Phalke Award in India.
The first man to shot 75mm film in India deserved this award long ago.But happy to know that finally Govt.of India recognised the work of this great technician who gave new dimension to cinema.
