+'''Sailajananda Mukherjee (1901-76)'''
+
+
+Bengali director born in Andal, Burdwan
+District. Noted Bengali novelist and
+contemporary of Kallol Group. Closely
+associated in early youth with writer-musician
+Kazi Nazrul Islam. Worked in Raniganj
+collieries, the location of his first major literary
+work, Koila Kuthi, published in the journal
+Basumati (1922). The story later gave its name
+to a sub-genre of literary realism: a starkly
+realist manner, relying on personal experience
+and dialects (commonly those of the Dhanbad
+and Raniganj collieries and of Birbhum)
+violating the novelistic tradition that valued
+linguistic purity. Early writings include
+Atmaghatir Diary (Diary of a Suicide)
+published in Bansari journal, viewed as a
+violation of the prevailing norms of literary
+decency. Went to Calcutta where he met
+Premendra Mitra, Probodh Kumar Sanyal,
+Achintyakumar Sengupta and Kallol writer and
+film-maker Dinesh Ranjan Das. Briefly edited
+the Kalikalam journal. Later also edited the
+journals Shahana and Bioscope. Started in films
+as scenarist for Hemchandra Chunder
+(Anath Ashram, 1937). Also wrote scripts, in
+collaboration with Binoy Chatterjee, for New
+Theatres while assisting Nitin Bose (e.g.
+Dushman/Jiban Maran, 1938). Directed
+works are early instances of a commercially
+successful cinema set among peasantry and
+urban working class, mostly based on his own
+writings (e.g. Mane Na Mana). During
+shooting, he would often close his eyes, only
+listening to the dialogues in the long, static
+takes, permitting no deviation from the script.
+Published autobiography, Je Katha Bola Hoy
+Ni (1968). Scripted his own films as well as
+contributing stories or scripts to Ae To Jiban
+and Santi (1946), the Oriya film Lakhmi (1962),
+Rup Sanatan (1965) and Anand Ashram
+(1977).
