Early life and education

Chakraborty was born in Barisal, then in East Bengal, Pakistan (now Bangladesh), on 16 June 1952. He
studied at Oriental Seminary and then earned his degree in Chemistry from Scottish Church College in
Kolkata, West Bengal, India. After that, he attended and graduated from the Film and Television
Institute of India, Pune.[5] He was a Naxalite before entering films, but tragedy struck his family when
his only brother was electrocuted and killed in a freak accident.[5][18] He returned to his family and left
the Naxalite fold, even though this posed a grave risk to his own life.[23] During his days as a Naxalite, he
became friends with Ravi Ranjan, a popular Naxal figure, known to his friends as "Bhaa" (the ultimate
saviour). Bhaa was known for his manipulational skills and oratory abilities.[24]

Bollywood career

Debut and stardom (1976–1990)

Chakraborty made his Bollywood debut with Mrinal Sen's National Award winning film Mrigayaa
(1976), for which he won the National Film Award for Best Actor.[5] After playing a few minor roles in
films such as Do Anjaane (1976) and Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan (1978), his first major
successful film was the 1978 film Mera Rakshak.[25] During those days Chakraborty was supported by
his Nadi Theke Sagare co-star Debashree Roy.[26] He rose to stardom with the low budget spy film
Surakshaa (1979), directed by Ravikant Nagaich.[18] The film was so successful that many movies
starring Chakraborty in the lead were launched. His combination with Deepak Bahry also happened for
the first time in 1979 with Tarana and they would go on to collaborate on many hit films together in the
1980s such as Humse Badhkar Kaun, Hum Se Hai Zamana and Woh Jo Hasina. Another important
film for Chakraborty in the late 1970s was Prem Vivah, directed by Basu Chatterjee.

Mithun Chakraborty literally ruled Bollywood in the 1980s, with the brand of impossible heroics and
made-for-the-front-row lines[27] as he starred in over 110 releases in this decade. He starred in films of
various genres such as action, family drama, romance and comedy.[5] Chakraborty played Bheema in the
super-hit multi-starrer Hum Paanch (1980). He played dual roles for the first time in Taxi Chor (1980)
and later played dual roles in several films such as Aamne Samne (1982) Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki
(1984) and Rakta Bandhan (1984).

In 1982, he shot to superstardom with his most recognisable leading role in the musical Disco Dancer,
which extended Chakraborty's popularity across India and into Russia[5] and established him as a
dancing star.[28] The film's director Babbar Subhash teamed up with Chakraborty again with the cult
musical films Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki (1984), Dance Dance (1987) and Commando (1988) which
were also successful. His 1985 superhit movie Pyar Jhukta Nahin reconfirmed his top star status. That
same year, he was also appreciated for his role as Javar in the JP Dutta film, Ghulami. Chakraborty also
became India's highest tax payer in 1986.[29] Chakraborty's most successful family dramas included
Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye (1983), Ghar Ek Mandir (1984), Swarag Se Sunder (1986) and Pyaar Ka Mandir
(1988). His comedies included Shaukeen (1982) Pasand Apni Apni (1983) and Baat Ban Jaye (1986)
and action films such as Jagir (1984), Jaal (1986), Dilwala(1986), Muddat(1986), Watan Ke Rakhwale
(1987), Jeete Hain Shaan Se (1988), Waqt Ki Awaz (1988), Ilaaka(1989), Daata(1989) and Guru (1989).
These films remain his most commercially successful films to date.[30] His performances never won any
award in 1986 and 1987 as the Filmfare Awards were never announced due to technical reasons. As
Chakraborty always had a high number of releases, sometimes it affected the business of his own films,
as happened in 1989, where he had a record 19 films, including super hits like Ilaaka, Mujrim, Prem
Pratigya and Daata And hits like Ladaai, Guru and Bees Saal Baad.

1990–99

Chakraborty had another 100 plus releases in this decade too,[5] starting with Agneepath, which won
him the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. Films such as Shandaar,Gunahon Ka Devta, Pyar
Ka Devta,Trinetra and Mere Sajana Saath Nibhana followed. In 1992, the critically acclaimed Bengali
film Tahader Katha won him his second National Film Award for Best Actor.[5] In this period he decided
to take a break from Mumbai. He shifted his entire family to Ooty and he constructed The Monarch
Hotel. Chakraborty then decided to do movies only to be shot at Ooty and nearby locations and he
provided discount rates to the film crew to stay in his hotel as well. This strategy paid off as numerous
films starring Chakraborty were launched every week, so he shifted his focus from mainstream Hindi
cinemas to low-budget movies.[5] Dalaal was released followed by other low-budget films such as Phool
Aur Angaar, Ravan Raaj: A True Story and Shapath, which created a market for low-budget
productions.[31]

5/20/2020 Mithun Chakraborty - Wikipedia

Jallad won him the Filmfare Best Villain Award and Star Screen Award Best Villain for the year 1995. His
economical film production was popular as Mithun's Dream Factory.[32][33][34][35][36] Even he could not
do Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Iruvar as his character had to crop his hair, which would have affected his
other 15 films at that time. By this time, Chakraborty held the record for appearing in the most Hindi
films as a hero.[18] A third National Award followed in 1998, this time as the Best Supporting Actor, for
his portrayal of Ramakrishnan in G. V. Iyer's Swami Vivekananda.[5] Once again, the overdose of
Chakraborty releases affected the business as 1998 and 1999 itself had almost 30 releases.[18] Meantime,
he paid more taxes than anyone else in the country in the mean period for 5 continuous years, from 1995
to 1999.[37][38][39] This decade proved Chakraborty as a businessman more than a star as low-budget
filmmakers were given their due by Mithun. He operates hotels in Masinagudi and Ooty in Tamil Nadu,
Mysore, Siliguri and Kolkata.[40]

2000–20

Mithun's Dream Factory films still continued to hold the

audiences. He featured in Prasanta Bal's period drama
Hindustani Sipahi (2002), based on veteran actor and dramatist
Utpal Dutt's Bengali play Ferari Fauj.[41] Chakraborty also
made a comeback to the mainstream Hindi film industry in
2005 with the film Elaan.[42] After a few supporting roles in
films such as Lucky: No Time for Love (2005) and Dil Diya Hai
(2006), he starred in Mani Ratnam's film Guru. He was also
acclaimed for his villainous role in Kalpana Lajmi's Chingaari
(2005).[5] His 2009 movie Zor Lagaa Ke...Haiya! won multiple

and he did Anthony D'Souza's Boss (2013) with Akshay Kumar. In Subhash Ghai's Kaanchi... (2014), he
