Director Bio : Padma Vibhushan Hrishikesh Mukherjee (30 September 1922 – 27 August 2006), a pioneer of the ‘middle cinema’ of India counted among the greatest filmmakers of the country, directed 42 films during his four decade-long career. The Dada Saheb Phalke Award winning director, writer and editor was known for his socially relevant films that mirrored the changing ethos of the Indian middle-class and explored the different aspects of human nature, replete with all its virtues and flaws. Also the Chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and of the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), ‘Hrishi Da,’ as he was lovingly known, "carved a middle path between the extravagance of mainstream cinema and the stark realism of art cinema." His skill in weaving magic out of sheer simplicity earned him eight Filmfare Awards, the NTR National Award, and several other honours during his lifetime.
