DADASAHEB PHALKE AWARD
WINNER, 2006
TAPAN SINHA
The free spirit of a teenaged boy leads him to a boat sailing
away from his home, matrimony, love...(Atithi). The
Kabuliwala released from jail realises his little girl too has
grown up in his distant land. A simple labourer comes alive
to power play between teagarden owners and political
groups (Sagina Mahato). A court of justice calls upon a
rape victim to prove her innocence (Aadalat O Ekti Meye).
The mutual need for care brings a bunch of wayward
youths close to an abondoned widow (Aponjan). A doctors
poignant fight for a medical breakthrough ends in the trauma
of brain drain (Ek Doctor Ki Maut). One could go on and
on, for, Tapan Sinhas ouevre, made up of 30 classics spread
over half a century and toasted in Venice, Berlin and
Moscow is as remarkable for his signature treatment as
for its diverse content.
Born on October 2, 1924, is the most uncompromising
mainstream director of Bengal. Equidistant from officialdom
and the market friendly formulas, he quietly went about
5
creating films that have inspired generations of younger
filmmakers and moulded iconic actors.
He has a way with actors, that turned Soumitra Chatterjee
into a star, and the iconic Dilip Kumar into the labourer
Sagina. The aplomb showed when he cast Vyajayanthimala
as the folksy Chhipli in Haatey Bazarey, coaxing her to
underplay subtle emotions but never curtailing her
spontaneity. Among the nations best directors for the
acumen in translating literature onto celluloid, he read
extensively, not just Tagore or classics, and spotted talents
in writers when they were still young.
Raised on a staple of John Ford and Billy Wilder, Sinha had
worked under Charles Cryton in Pinewood Sudios at
London and joined New Theatres as a sound engineer. Hard
hitting social comments, childrens films, comedies,
adventures - a range of flavours can be sampled through
Sinhas ouevre. If Aadmi Aur Aurat took viewers on an
austere journey to underscore communal amity, marital
discord was seldom so agreeable as in Jatugriha, Sabuj
Dwiper Raja, Safed Haathi, Harmonium,
Banchharamer Bagan - environment, tribal reality,
mystery, satire: through them all Sinha has celebrated an
individuals relentless fight against adverse circumstances.
Sometimes he wins, sometimes not. Still, the miracle worked
through the protagonists inner strength has always been a
rewarding experience.
The Dadasaheb Phalke Award for 2006 celebrates the
man whose archetypal Bengali drama, tinged with a literary
flavour, entertain even as it leaves the screen aglow with
human warmth.

K. BHARGAVA
Animation films in India have largely been
based on mythological stories but
Bhargavas Kittu is a trend-setter as it
deals with a social theme. Bhargava, who
makes short animation films and graphics
for television serials, is an engineering
graduate. Human resources, good script
and finance are three vital inputs for
animation films and Bhargava has a 1000-
strong army of animators. He wants to take
Indian culture to the world through
animation films and to make Bharagava
Pictures a brand entity like Walt Disney.
B. SATHYA
A post graduate in theatre arts from
Central University in Hyderabad, children
in Satyas family prompted him to make
Kittu. He wondered what glued them to
cartoon channels and that curiosity led
him to make Kittu, named after the monkey
protagonist of the film. Monkeys are part
of the Indian social milieu and Kittu is the
first animation film with a social theme.
KODAVANTI BHARAVI
For this civil engineering graduate from
Andhra Pradesh, computer graphics and
animation were a hobby before they
became a profession. He took training in
advanced digital graphics before he joined
hands with Bhargava and Satya to work
on Kittu.

K J SINGH
K.J. Singh is a confirmed Mac-user since 1989, when he
first did a demo of music and computers for AppleWorld
at Hyatt Regency, Delhi. Though trained as a recording/
sound engineer at Trebas Institute of Recording Arts,
Toronto, Canada, he found the world of MIDI and
computers exciting enough to bring back a keyboard, the
original DX7, a drum machine, a tone generator, MIDI
interface, an IBM XT, with Texture sequencing software
and a Tascam 246 portastudio with a Yamaha SPX 90
Effects processor and got into music composing. After a
breakthrough in Gulzars hit film Maachis, he moved to
Mumbai and success chased him with films like Chachi
420, Hu Tu Tu, Satya and Godmother.
SHAJITH KOYERI
The Thalaserry-born audiographer left for Mumbai a
few years ago to get out of depression caused by
immobility on account of rheumatoid arthritis. He had
no training or orientation in sound design but the day
he touched the mixer he knew it was going to be his
world.Since then he has worked on more than 50 films,
including Black, Bluff Master, Mangal Pande and,
Maqboo. He is glad that sound design is no longer just
a formality in Indian cinema and that the advent of high-
fidelity sound systems and their extensive
implementation in theatres demand more creative
attention on the sound track.
SUBASH SAHOO
A graduate engineer, Sahoo was determined to make a
mark when he left a three-year-old job with an electronics
company to join FTII, Pune, for a diploma in sound
recording and engineering for films. He started working
under Namita Nayak, the first woman to enroll into the
sound engineering course at FTII. His association with
music director, author, director and filmmaker Vishal
Bharadwaj is perhaps the best thing to happen to him,
he says. He is currently working for Bhardwajs Kaminey,
Sudhir Mishras Tera Kya Hoga and the mega serial
Mahabharat for Balaji Telefilms.

MADHU GOPINATH &
VAKKOM SAJEEV
Ten years ago, they were two youngsters
from a rural background without a backing.
All they had was creativity and the
passion for dance that turned into a
constant struggle for stages, finance and
recognition. But they plodded on. Today,
critics and cultural czars alike take them
seriously. The duo danced their way to
center stage. Their dance has taken them
to 120 countries and its vocabulary is a
happy mix of Kalaripayattu, Yoga,
Bharatanatyam, folk arts of Kerala and
rope Malkhamb. They are now working
on their new piece Cosmic Dance of
Siva.
After proving themselves as dancers and
choreographers, the two want to expand
their dance school in Kalady, Kerala.

SAVITA RAJ HIREMATH
After producing the award winning
Khosla Ka Ghosla, producer Savita Raj
Hiremath has moved on to produce two
more movies. The young producer
believes in making films that are a leaf out
of real life, with small budgets and good
content. She says cinema is a medium of
mass entertainment, and content is the key
to a films popular appeal. She is
negotiating with Hollywood studios for
her future projects.
DIBAKAR BANERJEE
He brings his middle class upbringing in a
congested commercial area of Delhi to his
films. The clash of generations, values and
lifestyles within families are the themes
that attract him and Khosla Ka Ghosla
was inspired by this theme. Appreciation
for the film from cinema giants Govind
Nihalani and Yash Chopra has made this
debutant sit up and take note of his
cinematic talent, and he hopes to win the
heart of India with more films like the
quirkily humorous and emotional Khosla
Ka Ghosla

PADMINI PUTY
A keen interest in cinema propelled this
alumnus of the FTII into scripting, but
before debuting as script writer for Pooja
Paeen Phoolatie, she largely wrote scipts
for television soaps.
GADADHAR PUTY
Puty and good cinema are synonyms in
Orissa, the filmmakers home state in
eastern India. The spiritual element in the
human persona rings loud and clear in
Putys films. Puty is also known for skilled
editing and has edited many well-
acclaimed films inclding Nissiddha
Swapna, Tara and Khudi. Gadadhar Puty,
an FTII alumnus had directed Ashara
Aakash, his maiden Oriya film, over two
decades ago. But the film could not set
the box-office ringing and Puty beat a
retreat. Thereafter, it is editing rather than
direction where he has been making his
mark.

Unknowingly, Aideu literally seems to
have traded her whole life with one film.
In 1935, when Aideu was persuaded to
accept the heroines role, theatre and
cinema were seen as disrespectable
professions for women. After the
shooting of Joymoti, Aideu went back to
her village but was condemned to a lonely
life as she was quarantined in the family
home.
Aideu lived long and died slowly: her
engagement was called off, men shunned
her, she remained unmarried and the family
was ostracized.

Amit is married to Preeti and the couple
becomes a partying foursome with Rahul
and Nandita. However, Nanditas
miscarriage puts a seal on her
motherhood, creating a chasm between
her and Rahul.
On the other hand, Preeti cannot relate to
her husband, whose life and happiness
are driven by money. She and Rahul strike
a chord.
When Amit leaves for a business trip to
London and refuses to take Preeti along,
almost on impulse, she joins Rahul in
Kanchanjunga where he has gone on
work. Their romance blossoms in the
scenic environs leading to a predictable
emotional complexity for both the
couples.

DRISHTANTHAM
When Rituals Are Risky
Malayalam/96 min./35mm/Colour
Producer, Director and Screenplay
Writer: M. P. Sukumaran Nair;
Cinematography: K.G. Jayan; Music:
Chandran Veyattummal; Cast: Margi
Sathi, Indrans & Rathya
Drishtantham represents the desperate
turns in the destiny of alien communities
in interior Kerala, trapped between dying
traditions and emerging new orders of the
world. It tells the story of a family engaged
in the ritualistic performance called
Theeyattu, which is based on the legend
of Kali-Darika combat.
Kali, the goddess of retribution, tells Lord
Shiva, her creator, the story of the slaying
of demon Darika by her. Lord Shiva creates
a ferocious female force to annihilate
Darika who is bestowed with a boon from
Lord Brahma that he cannot be killed by
any male. Kali takes over the mission and
kills Darika. This story is a solo
performance in which, traditionally, the all-
male temple servant community of Unnis
practices this art.

slavery and feudalism. For his heroic
struggles against the oppressive rulers
of his day, Koti Chennaya is held in deep
respect and devotion by the Tulus. Tulu
folktales say he was born just to bring his
people out of the clutches of slavery. He
was almost a holy soldier who sacrificed
worldly pleasures for the sake of his
people. The film is a tribute to this folk
hero.

Raj Kumar Hirani Screenplay: Abhijat
Joshi, Raj Kumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod
Chopra; Cinematography: C K
Muralidharan; Music: Shantanu Moitra;
Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi and
Vidya Balan
Lage Raho Munnabhai brings alive the
truism that sometimes you can fake it to
make it. Munna, a lovable hoodlum in the
tradition of Robin Hood, pretends to be a
Gandhi scholar to win the heart of a
beautiful radio jockey, Jahnavi.
Jahnavi invites Munna to lecture on
Mahatma Gandhi to a community of senior
citizens who live in her home, called the
Second Innings House. In order to prepare
for this event, Munna pours over books
on Bapus life and times for three days.
With Bapus help, Munna succeeds in
impressing Jahnavi and even starts co-
hosting a radio-show with her, guiding his
audience to use Gandhigiri, a neologism
for Gandhism, to solve everyday problems
using truth and non-violence.

truth, he eventually finds himself isolated
as his friends, family and the political party
break away from him.
The film is not just about Prakasan but a
legend called Kari Gurukkal about whom

reality matches that of the legendary Kari
Gurukkal. Kari, a martial artiste, possesses
supernatural powers.
The story depicts the degeneration of our
times when the upholders of truth find

Malayalam/123 min/35mm/Colour
Producer: B Rakesh; Direction and
Screenplay: Lenin Rajendran;
Cinematography: S Kumar Music:
Ramesh Narayanan; Cast: Vineeth &
Meera Jasmine
Lenin Rajendrans film Rathrimazha is the
story of a dancer who becomes paralytic
after an accident. However, his ambition
survives the accident.
The first part of the film is about
Harikrishans courtship with Meera in the
virtual internet world, something which
leaves her totally captivated by
Harikrishans elusive personality. But the
illusions blossoming in the virtual world
collapse when Meera discovers the
devastating reality.
The film examines the kaleidoscopic
changes in inter-personal relationships.
It also takes a close look into the subtle
interplay of conflicting emotions and egos
that find expression in the finest creative
endeavours. It is a process that unleashes
base instincts that threaten to tear the
fabric of interpersonal relations.

her mother in Nasik, her office and her

Producer: Sai Productions;
Director: Manoj Punj; Screenplay: Suraj
Sanim; Cinematography: R.A. Krishnaa;
Music: Jaidev Kumar; Cast: Juhi Chawla,
Divya Dutta & Gurdas Maan
Syed Waris Shah was a Punjabi sufi poet,
best-known for his seminal work Heer
Ranjha .
Waris Shah was a disciple of Peer
Makhdum of Kasur. He was in love with
the village headmans daughter, Bhagpari,
and the film is about his unrequitted
love.There is all-out opposition to the
romance and the duo is literally tested by
fire to prove that their love is not carnal.
The local arbiter asks them to walk on
burning coal; if they get blisters, they have
bitten the forbidden fruit and if not they
are pure. Both pass the test and Baghpari
gets married to Inayat. Meanwhile, Sabbo,
who is obsessed with Waris, fails to woo
him and burns his most celebrated work,
Heer.

JATRA JEEVAN JEEVAN YATRA
English/50 min/Video/Colour
Producer: Kailash Bhuyan; Director:
Kapilas Bhuyan
An ancient form of folk theater of Orissa
dating back to 2nd century B.C., is
peripatetic in nature and performed in
open air. Though the medium was revived
during last 130 years, Jatra, unlike other
languishing folk mediums in India, sprung
back to life in the late 1980s with the
infusion of huge capital. Now Jatra has
become a mega industry with an annual
turnover of nearly 1500 million Indian
rupees. It employs 20 thousand rural
young, including women, keeping them
from migrating to urban slums. Employee
conditions might still be less than fair but
Jatra as an art form and source of livelihood
for rural folk is alive and kicking.

JAVIK KHETI
Hindi/24 min/Video/Colour
Producer: Agro India; Director: Mrinalini
Bhosale
The educative documentary targeted at
farmers depicts the result of excessive use
of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on
crops, and the forms and advantages of
organic farming. During the 38 years
period from 1960 to 1998 the use of
chemical fertilizers in India increased by
68 times, while agricultural production
only went up four times. The film is an
eye-opener for farmers wasting money on
chemicals that also reduce crop immunity
to pests and diseases.

Hindi/Video/58 minutes/Colour
Producer: Rajiv Mehrotra, Public Service
Broadcasting Trust; Director: Sumit
Khanna
The film takes a close look at Indias Green
Revolution of the 1970s and relates it to
the present day when farmer suicides in
the country have acquired an alarming
proportion and present a national crisis.
However, even more alarming is the fallout
of the Green Revolution during which
indiscriminate and rampant use of
pesticides and chemical fertilizers almost
poisoned the food chain. The film serves
as a stiff warning to the planners of the
second such revolution.

RENDEZVOUS WITH TIME
Marathi/Video/13 min/Colour
Director : Rajendra Janglay; Producer :
Madhya Pradesh Madhyam;
Cinematography : Rajendra Janglay and
Sanjay Vijavergiya
Madhya Pradesh has been witness to the
march of history of humanity. Tides of
historical currents have left innumerable
marks on the land. First glimmers of human
consciousness still throb in the pre-
historic caves of Bhimbetka and the
epitome of Indian thought expressed in
stones of Khajuraho takes ones breath
away. But this is not a land only of frozen
memories. The vibrant and living presence
of tribal life and colorful folk tradition give
Madhya Pradesh a very different feel.
Diversity is the defining principle of being
here, which is also reflected in its
geography. Deep woods cast a spell on
the visitor. So can the murmuring rivers
and sprawling plateaus. The sounds,
colors and smells of the state are vivid
and wonderful. This film depicts the
history, culture, craft and the rich flora and
fauna of Madhya Pradesh.
