Guide is a 1965 Indian bilingual romantic drama film directed by Vijay Anand and produced by Dev Anand, who co-starred in the film with Waheeda Rehman. Based on R. K. Narayan's 1958 novel The Guide, the film narrates the story of Raj (Anand), a freelance tour guide and Rosie (Rehman), the suppressed wife of a wealthy archaeologist. A 120-minute U.S. version titled The Guide was written by Pearl S. Buck and directed and produced by Tad Danielewski. For the US version, Devanand had insisted that Waheeda Rehman be cast as a heroine, but his advice was not heeded to. This version flopped badly in America. The film was then screened again at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, 42 years after its release. Guide was a highly successful film at the box-office upon release, and later achieved a cult following; it has since been deemed one of the best Bollywood films produced of all time. It received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for the performances of Anand and Rehman, as well as the score by S. D. Burman. At the 14th Filmfare Awards, Guide received a leading 9 nominations, including Best Music Director (Burman) and Best Playback Singer (Lata Mangeshkar for "Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai"), and won a leading 7 awards, including a sweep in the 4 major categories ( Best Film, Best Director (Vijay), Best Actor (Dev), and Best Actress (Rehman)), thus becoming the first film in the history of Filmfare Awards to do so. It was also selected as India's official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 38th Academy Awards, but it was not accepted as a nominee. In 2012, Time magazine listed it at #4 on its list of "Best Bollywood Classics". Plot Raju (Dev Anand), a freelance guide, who earns his living by taking tourists to historic sites.
