Indian film actor, producer, director and politician

Biswajit Chatterjee (born 14 December 1936), known mononymously as Biswajit, is a veteran Indian actor, producer, director, singer and politician known for his work in Bengali cinema and Hindi cinema.

Early career

He made his acting debut in the Bengali films with the legendary icon Mahanayak Uttam Kumar in Mayamrigo (1960) and Dui Bhai (1961), both superhits. Then Biswajit relocated to Bombay. In 1962, he performed in the film Bees Saal Baad which was actually offered first to Uttam Kumar but he rejected and was the first film produced by Hemant Kumar, and then followed by Kohraa, Bin Badal Barsat, Majboor, Kaise Kahoon, and Paisa Ya Pyaar.

His filmography includes Mere Sanam (1965), Shehnai, Aasra (1964), Night in London, Yeh Raat Phir Naa Aaygi (1966), April Fool (1964), Kismat (1968), Do Kaliyan (1968), Ishq Par Zor Nahin and Sharaarat (1972). He was usually paired with notable actresses such as Asha Parekh, Waheeda Rehman, Mumtaz, Mala Sinha and Rajshree.

Biswajit appeared in Rekha's debut film Anjana Safar (1969) (later re-titled Do Shikaari). Though Anjana Safar was blocked by the censors and not released until 10 years later, a scene from the film which shows him kissing Rekha appeared on the pages of the Asian edition of Life magazine. Rekha had complained that during the filming of one of the romantic scenes, Biswajit unexpectedly kissed her for 5 minutes against her will, and the entire crew started cheering and whistling while she was in tears.

Between acting in Bollywood movies, Biswajit has returned to Calcutta to act in Bengali films, including Chowringhee (1968) and Garh Nasimpur with Uttam Kumar and Kuheli and much later, Srimaan Prithviraj (1973), Jai Baba Taraknath (1977) and Amar Geeti (1983).

Caravan World Rhythms is excited to present an Indian Classical music concert by two world renowned musicians: sitar maestro Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan and tabla maestro Pandit Anindo Chatterjee. The on-stage chemistry between these musical virtuosos is simply electrifying and their performances always take Indian Classical music to new heights. Join the many passionate fans of these two living legends of India for an inspiring and memorable evening of music.

Ustad Shahid Parvez is considered to be one of the foremost musicians in India. He has been acknowledged by both Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan as one of the finest sitar players alive, and the torchbearer for the current generation. Ustad Shahid Parvez’s dazzling virtuosity and innovative genius have earned him a legacy as a giant of the sitar. By way of sheer precision and an astute artistic sense, he has made for himself a place in the limitless, infinite universe of Indian classical music. Parvez learned his craft from his father, Ustad Aziz Khan, and enjoys an impeccable pedigree. He is a seventh generation heir to the sitar’s first family, the Etawah Gharana.

Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan sums up his mastery of this most intricate art form with a profoundly simple philosophy: “music is my life”. For Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan, the Sitar and Self are identical entities, and music is not just a discipline but life itself – vibrating and pulsating and full of colour.

The power of his music is most immediately encountered in the highly charged sound he conjures from his Sitar and the sparkling intelligence that is the hallmark of his improvisations. As the Rajasthan Patrika once said – “After listening to Ustad Shahid Parvez, the future of Sitar is still bright after Pandit Ravi Shankar.”

Accompanying Parvez, is one of the world’s greatest tabla players, Anindo Chatterjee, gifted with an ability to summon crystal-clear melodies from his drums. The director of the Farrukhaba
