+'''Babubhai Mistri (b. 1919)'''
+
+
+Hindi and Gujarati director and cameraman
+born in Surat, Gujarat; also worked in Telugu
+film. India’s first and most influential specialeffects
+expert. Early career in Prakash Pics
+(1933-7) and Filmco (1938-45). Then went to
+Madras to work on Ellis Duncan’s Meera
+(1945). Returned to Bombay and, as director
+and art director, helped establish Homi
+Wadia’s Basant Studio (1942). Made a crucial
+contribution to the iconography of the postwar
+B-movie mythological, e.g. the miracle
+sequences of Nanabhai Bhatt and Wadia
+films (Jungle Princess, 1942; Husn Ka Chor,
+1953; Hatimtai, 1956). Pioneering special
+effects include the invisible man in Vijay
+Bhatt’s Khwab Ki Duniya (1937) and the
+travelling matte shots showing the genie lifting
+the palace and flying through the air in
+Nanubhai Vakil’s Alladdin (1945). These
+sequences were admired by Pudovkin when he
+visited the studio. Also worked as art director at
+CIRCO. Directed several mythologicals and the
+stunt classic King Kong. Later films often
+feature wrestler Dara Singh. Continued
+working as a special-effects consultant for
+many productions, including the mammoth TV
+serial Ramayan (1986-8).
