Early life and education

edit

Mithun Chakraborty was born on 16 June 1950 into a Bengali Hindu family in Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal, India to Basanta Kumar Chakraborty and Shanti Rani Chakraborty.[3][2][28] He studied at Oriental Seminary and then earned his B.Sc. degree[3] in Chemistry from Scottish Church College in Kolkata. After that, he attended and graduated from the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune.[10] He was a Naxalite before entering films, but tragedy struck his family when his only brother was electrocuted and killed in a freak accident.[10][27] He returned to his family and left the Naxalite fold, even though this posed a grave risk to his own life.[29] During his days as a Naxalite, he became friends with Ravi Ranjan, a popular Naxal figure, known to his friends as "Bhaa" (the ultimate saviour). Bhaa was known for his manipulative skills and oratory abilities.[30]

Film career

edit

Early career (1976–1981)

edit

Chakraborty made his Hindi film debut in 1976 with Mrinal Sen's art-house film Mrigayaa, for which he won the National Film Award for Best Actor.[31] That same year, he played a brief role in Dulal Guha's hit thriller Do Anjaane which had Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha and Prem Chopra in the lead.[32][33]

In 1978, Chakraborty made his debut in Bengali cinema with Arabinda Mukhopadhyay's romantic blockbuster Nadi Theke Sagare.[34][35] He also co-starred alongside Rameshwari in Mera Rakshak.[36] A remake of R. Thyagarajan's own directional venture Aattukara Alamelu (1977), it performed well commercially and proved to be a hit.[37] In 1979, Chakraborty delivered another hit with Ravikant Nagaich's spy thriller Surakksha.[38] This was followed by a string of successful Hindi films, such as Taraana (1979), Patita (1980), Unees-Bees (1980), Hum Paanch (1980) and Hum Se Badkar Kaun (1981) and the Bengali film Kalankini Kankabati (1981).[38][39][40]

Stardom (1982–1995)

edit

In 1982, Chakraborty had a string of successes with Shaukeen, Ashanti, Taqdeer Ka Badshah and Swami Dada.[41] He shot to stardom, the same year with B. Subhash's dance film Disco Dancer.[42] Disco Dancer proved to be a superhit domestically and an All Time Blockbuster in overseas markets.[43] It also became the first Indian film to do a business of ₹1 billion (US$12 million).[44][45] Its soundtrack composed by Bappi Lahiri was a huge chartbuster and played a big role in the box office success of the film, especially in countries like Soviet Union and China.[46][47] The same year, he established himself in Bengali cinema as well with Gautam Mukherjee's musical blockbuster Troyee.[48]

In 1983, he played lead roles in T. Rama Rao and Deepak Bahry's ventures - Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye and Hum Se Hai Zamana, respectively and Basu Chatterjee's critically acclaimed light-hearted romance Pasand Apni Apni.[49][50] The following year, he appeared alongside Shashi Kapoor, Moushmi Chatterjee and Ranjeeta in the family drama film Ghar Ek Mandir.[51] At release, it was thrashed by critics, but still went on to become a superhit.[52] The huge box office success of Ghar Ek Mandir was followed by two hits in Jagir and Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki alongside a decent runner Baazi to go with the major grossers.[52]

Chakraborty hit the big league in 1985 with Vijay Sadanah's romantic drama Pyar Jhukta Nahin, acting opposite Padmini Kolhapure.[53] The film opened to excellent audience response and went on to become a massive blockbuster.[54] Its soundtrack composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal dominated the musical charts and was the tenth best-selling Hindi film album of the 1980s.[55] He followed it with a superhit in J. P. Dutta's action drama Ghulami co-starring Dharmendra, Naseeruddin Shah, Reena Roy, Smita Patil and Anita Raj.[56][54] His other major commercial success that year was another of B. Subhash's directional venture Aandhi-Toofan.[54] Chakraborty's dream run continued in 1986 with one more blockbuster in K. Bapayya's family drama film Swarag Se Sunder, which also had Jeetendra, Jaya Prada and Kolhapure in the lead.[57][58] That same year, he had a superhit in Umesh Mehra's actioner Jaal, followed by two more successful films, Dilwaala and Muddat.[59] Apart from commercial success, he received acclaim for his performance in Basu Chatterjee's Sheesha, which was the first Hindi film centred around sexual harassment at workplace.[60] The following year, he starred in hits, including Dance Dance, Parivaar and Watan Ke Rakhwale alongside moderately successful films, Hawalaat and Hiraasat.[61] In 1988, Chakraborty reunited with K. Bapayya for Pyar Ka Mandir, co-starring Madhavi, Nirupa Roy, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Raj Kiran and Shoma Anand.[62] The film performed very well at the box office and emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of the year.[63] He then appeared alongside Sridevi and Moushmi Chatterjee in the action drama film Waqt Ki Awaz, which too went on to become a hit, followed by semi-hits in Charnon Ki Saugandh and Jeete Hain Shaan Se.[63] 1989 also proved to be a big one for Chakraborty with four of his films emerging commercial successes, which were - Daata, Prem Pratigyaa, Mujrim and Aakhri Ghulam.[64]

Chakraborty began the new decade with average grossers, such as Pati Patni Aur Tawaif and Humse Na Takrana, while his most notable release of 1990 was Mukul Anand's action crime film Agneepath alongside Amitabh Bachchan, which although a commercial flop, received highly positive response from critics and won him Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor.[65][66]

Chakraborty's career as a matinee idol faded in the mid-1990s as he took a break from mainstream Hindi cinema and started working in low-budget productions, most of which lacked success due to their poor quality.[67] Beginning from 1994, he starred in many such films, the majority of which performed miserably at the box office, with a few exceptions like Cheetah (1994), Jallaad (1995) and Ravan Raaj: A True Story (1995), which also proved to be his final hit as a lead actor.[68][69][70]

Career fluctuations and return to prominence (1996–present)

edit

Post-stardom, Chakraborty continued to star in substandard productions which failed to propel his career forward.[71][72] He appeared in hundreds of such films produced under his home banner Mithun's Dream Factory.[73][74][75] He was unable to perform in the universally acclaimed Tamil film Iruvar (1997) as his character had to crop his hair, which would have affected his other 15 films at that time.[76] By this time, Chakraborty held the record for appearing in the most Hindi films as a hero.[27] During this phase, he saw moderate successes in Shapath (1997) and Chandaal (1998) and won National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor for playing Ramakrishna Paramahansa in G.V. Iyer's biographical drama Swami Vivekananda (1998).[77][78][79]

With his Bollywood career taking a backseat, Chakraborty began to focus on Bengali films in the early 2000s. From 2000 to 2003, he appeared in highly acclaimed films like Nepaldev Bhattacharjee's Chaka (2000), Rituparno Ghosh's Titli (2002), Prasanta Bal's Ferari Fauj (2002) and Narayan Rao's Santrash (2003).[80]

He returned to mainstream Hindi films in 2005 with the highly anticipated films Elaan and Lucky: No Time for Love, but contrary to expectations, both the films proved to be critical and commercial duds and failed to re-establish him.[81][82][83] He finally made a solid comeback in 2007 with Mani Ratnam's Guru.[84] Guru received highly positive response from critics and proved to be a hit at the box office.[85][86] Chakraborty's performance of an honest editor met with immense acclaim and he received a nomination in the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor category.[87] The same year, he also did a guest appearance in the song "Deewangi Deewangi" from Farah Khan's reincarnation drama Om Shanti Om.[88]

After another series of flops, he appeared in Rohit Shetty's multi-starrer comedy Golmaal 3 in 2010.[89] It did a business of ₹1.69 billion (US$20 million) and emerged a blockbuster at the box office.[90] The huge success of Golmaal 3 was followed by two more major hits in 2012 with Housefull 2, OMG – Oh My God!, as well as an average hit with Khiladi 786.[91][92] Chakraborty had two full-fledged releases in 2013 - Enemmy and the much anticipated Boss, both of which were critical and commercial failures.[93][94][95][96] He then played a supporting role in the Salman Khan action comedy film Kick (2014).[97] The film took an initial of ₹260 million and collected ₹3.88 billion (US$46 million) by the end of its run, emerging a blockbuster at the box office.[98]

In 2015, he made his Telugu and Tamil cinema debut with Gopala Gopala and Yagavarayinum Naa Kaakka respectively. While Gopala Gopala did well at the box office, the latter proved to be a disaster.[99] That same year, he appeared in Vibhu Puri's critically acclaimed historical drama Hawaizaada alongside Ayushmann Khurrana and Pallavi Sharda.[100] He made his Kannada film debut with the successful action thriller The Villain in 2018.[101]

In 2019, Chakraborty played an important role in Vivek Agnihotri's political thriller The Tashkent Files.[102] It received negative reviews from critics, but the audience reception was positive and as a result, it ran in cinemas for more than 100 days, eventually emerging as a sleeper hit at the box office.[103][104] After a year's gap, Chakraborty appeared in Ram Gopal Varma's horror thriller 12 'O' Clock.[105] In 2022, he starred in two notable box office successes, one in Hindi and one in Bengali. The first one was Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files based on the Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus.[106] Despite receiving polarizing response from reviewers, it grossed ₹3.40 billion (US$41 million) worldwide and was declared a major blockbuster by the end of its run.[107][108] He received another nomination in the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor category for his performance of a retired IAS officer in The Kashmir Files.[109] The next was Avijit Sen's family drama Projapoti alongside Dev.[110] This, too, emerged as a blockbuster at the box office.[111] He made his digital debut in 2022 with Prime Video's web show Bestseller.[112] In 2023, he played the title role in Suman Ghosh's hit Bengali film Kabuliwala.[113]
