+'''Naresh Chandra Mitra (1888-1968)'''
+
+
+Bengali actor and director born in Agartala,
+Tripura. Law graduate from Calcutta University
+but became a major stage star, starting at
+Minerva Theatre (1922) with Chandragupta;
+joined Star Theatre with Karnarjun (1923).
+Acted in several plays for different companies,
+mostly playing villains. Entered film to
+complete Andhare Alo, begun by Sisir
+Bhaduri. Then actor-director, first at the Taj
+Mahal company, later at East India Film and
+Priyanath Ganguly’s Kali Films. Style
+dominated by Calcutta Theatres conventions
+in themes commonly drawn from plays/novels
+based on Rabindranath Tagore (e.g. Nauka
+Dubi and Gora), Saratchandra Chattopadhyay
+(Devdas), Anuroopa Devi and on his own
+stage hits (e.g. Mahanisha, Banglar Meye,
+Pather Sathi etc). Later films starring Uttam
+Kumar (e.g. Bou Thakuranir Haat,
+Annapurnar Mandir) provide rare examples
+of a 30s stage style continued into post-
+Independence Bengali film. Acted in several
+films, such as those by younger Kallol
+directors like Sailajananda Mukherjee (e.g.
+Shahar Theke Dooray, Roy Choudhury).
+Towards the end of his life, was most closely
+associated with the folk Jatra.
