+'''Sushil Majumdar (1906-88)'''
+
+
+Bengali and Hindi director born in Komilla,
+Tripura (now Bangladesh). Educated at
+Shantiniketan (1911-21) and at Kashi
+Vidyapeeth, Benares, and studied engineering
+at Jadavpur. Participated in non-co-operation
+agitations (1922). Actor for the amateur
+University Institute theatre group, then in the
+Calcutta Theatres stage company Manmohan
+Theatres (1927). Manager of touring company
+in Chittagong. Joined Bengal Movie & Talkie
+Film (e.g. Jeevan Prabhat), and then P.C.
+Barua’s studio (1930). Directed Barua’s short
+comedy Ekada and Debaki Bose’s Aparadhi
+and Nishir Dak. Early work strongly influenced
+by Calcutta theatres’ stage conventions (e.g.
+Tarubala), but also moved into new directions,
+e.g. Muktisnan’s depiction of political
+corruption. Later work, esp. Tulsi Lahiri’s
+scripts, moved closer to IPTA-influenced film
+(Dukhir Iman). The only Bengali director from
+the 30s to retain his popularity for over 40
+years, e.g. with the Ashok Kumar starrer,
+Hospital, and one of Uttam Kumar’s bestknown
+performances in Lal Patthar. His Rikta
+was re-edited and reissued in 1960. Turned
+producer with Digbhranta.
