+Hindi director and editor born in Calcutta.
+Studied science at Calcutta University; then a
+teacher and a freelance artist at AIR. Joined
+New Theatres (1945) as laboratory assistant,
+then editor. First full editing assignment:
+Tathapi (1950). Worked as assistant director
+and editor for Bimal Roy; later also edited
+films by R. Kariat and R. Tarafdar. Renowned
+for introducing editing conventions basic to
+Hindi film: e.g. insertion of close-up as bridge
+between incompatible shots. Acquired
+reputation of being able to salvage films that
+went out of control during shooting (e.g.
+Kariat’s Chemmeen, 1965). First film as
+director in collaboration with Ritwik Ghatak
+and Salil Choudhury (Musafir). 60s films
+continue in the vein of Bimal Roy’s socials.
+Introduced ‘cancer films’ with Anand, a very
+popular type of melodrama with terminally ill
+characters, which featured the reigning 70s
+superstars Rajesh Khanna and Bachchan.
+Repeated the duo in Namak Haram. Later
+films often produced by N.C. Sippy are lowbudget
+family melodramas. Chairman of
+Central Board of Film Cenrtification and of the
+NFDC.
