Nitin Bose Career

Career

Bose's first film venture was a documentary film about the Belgian Emperor's visit to India (1921).

In 1926, Bose began his film career as a cinematographer in the film Punarjanma. In the film Devdas (1928), his debut as cinematographer under New Theatres banner was made. He was cinematographer of Rabindranath Tagore (1932), which was based on a Tagore dance drama.

Bose worked closely with producer Debaki Bose, but then Debaki Bose left New Theatres to Madan Theatres for the production of Seeta (1934). Nitin Bose, the producer of New Theatres, B.N. Sircar, requested that the film direction be pursued at this moment. In Bengali, Bose revived Debaki Bose's Chandidas (1932) in Chandidas (1934).

Bhagya Chakra, his 1935 film, was the first Indian film to use playback singing. K C Dey, Parul Ghosh, and Suprabha Sarkar were among the singers. Dhoop Chhaon, the first Hindi film to use playback singing, was remade in Hindi. It was Bose who suggested playback singing. He discussed the idea with music director Raichand Boral and Bose's brother Mukul Bose, who was the sound recordist in New Theatres.

Bose had a misunderstanding with B N Sircar when he was building Kashinath (1943). After the film was finished, he did not return to New Theatres, with which he was associated with since the theater was founded in 1931. Bose eventually moved to Bombay and Sircar closed New Theatres.

Naukadubi (1947), based on Tagore's novel of the same name, was Bose's first film under Bombay Talkies banner. The Hindi version of this film was titled Milan, in which Dilip Kumar appeared in the lead role. Uttam Kumar, who later became a Bengali Cinema superstar, was the subject of his next film, Drishtidan (1948).

Bose produced a number of films in the 1960s under the banner of Filmistan. Ganga Jamuna (1961), directed by Bose, is still one of India Cinema's all-time blockbusters.
