'''Anjan Dutta''' is one of the defining artists of the [[1990s]] [[Bengali language|Bengali]] music scene defined by ''Jeebonmukhi'' (life facing) singers. Anjan Dutta's style of music is different from the others in the sense that it has catchy tunes, reminicent of Western hits and his lyrics are simple in nature. Anjan's music is somewhat influenced by Blues and Western Country music. He is the first Bangla artist to depend so much on [[saxaphone]] and [[guitar]]. Anjan Dutta is also an actor and director.
'''Anjan Dutt''' (born 19 January 1953) is an Indian film director, actor, and singer-songwriter known for his work in the [[Bengali language|Bengali]] alternative music genre ''anyodharar gaan''. As an actor, Dutta began his career in [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali cinema]] in the [[Mrinal Sen]] film ''Chaalchitra'', for which he won the best newcomer actor award at the [[Venice Film Festival]]. He acted in [[Aparna Sen]]'s hit film, ''[[Mr. and Mrs. Iyer]]''. In 2018 he featured in [[Swapnasandhani]]'s new play ''Taraye Taraye'', as [[Vincent van Gogh]], under the direction of [[Kaushik Sen]].

He is also a national award-winning filmmaker and is one of the most prominent directors of Bengali cinema, directing ''[[Dutta Vs Dutta]]'', ''[[Madly Bangalee]]'', ''[[The Bong Connection]]'', ''[[Chalo Let's Go]]'', and ''[[Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbona]]''. In recent years, he has directed a ''[[Byomkesh (franchise)|Byomkesh]]'' film series.

== Early years ==
Anjan Dutta was raised in the mountains of [[North Bengal]]. He had his schooling from [[St. Paul's School, Darjeeling|St. Paul's School]] in [[Darjeeling]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/anjan-dutt-sticks-to-his-roots/story-A5sFvGITRQQNNCr3spT8yK.html | title=Anjan Dutt sticks to his roots | publisher=Hindustan Times | work=Ritujaay Ghosh | date=9 July 2007 | accessdate=9 July 2007}}</ref>

In the late seventies, he joined a group called [[Open Theatre]] and in the early eighties performed plays translated from the works of renowned foreign playwrights like [[Sartre]], [[Peter Weiss]], [[Jean Genet]] and [[Bertold Brecht]]. The group clearly drew inspiration from [[Nandikar]], a highly active and already famous theatre group at the time. Due to politically sensitive content, they faced many obstructions in producing and performing their work, and eventually, the group discontinued its repertoire.

Dutta was first selected for the feature film ''Chalachitro'', directed by renowned filmmaker [[Mrinal Sen]]. The film and his performance were critically acclaimed at the [[Venice Film Festival]], but for unknown reasons, was never released commercially. Dutt said that he was more interested in doing art cinema than commercial mainstream cinema. After doing a few [[art film]]s that were not so commercially successful, including the critically well-received ''Juganto'', scarcity of job opportunities forced him to take up jobs in advertising and later as a journalist for the Kolkata-based daily, ''[[The Statesman (India)|The Statesman]]''.

== Singing career ==
At that time, Dutta was greatly influenced by the music of [[Bob Dylan]], [[Kabir Suman]] who had heralded a new era in Bengali music through his songs. These songs and lyrics, commonly referred to as ''Jeebonmukhi (জীবনমুখী )''(literally meaning "towards life"), were concerned with the tough reality of [[Bengali people|Bengali]] middle-class social life, in and around [[Kolkata]].

== Personal life ==
Anjan Dutt is married to Chanda Dutt. They have a son together- [[Neel Dutt]], who is a music director in the Indian industry.

Anjan Dutt (born 19 January 1953) is an Indian film director, actor, and singer-songwriter known for his work in the Bengali alternative music genre anyodharar gaan. As an actor, Dutta began his career in Bengali cinema in the Mrinal Sen film Chaalchitra, for which he won the best newcomer actor award at the Venice Film Festival. He acted in Aparna Sen's hit film, Mr. and Mrs. Iyer. In 2018 he featured in Swapnasandhani's new play Taraye Taraye, as Vincent van Gogh, under the direction of Kaushik Sen.

He is also a national award-winning filmmaker and is one of the most prominent directors of Bengali cinema, directing Dutta Vs Dutta, Madly Bangalee, The Bong Connection, Chalo Let's Go, and Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbona. In recent years, he has directed a Byomkesh film series.

Early years

[edit]

Anjan Dutta was raised in the mountains of North Bengal. He had his schooling from St. Paul's School in Darjeeling.[4]

In the late seventies, he joined a group called Open Theatre and in the early eighties performed plays translated from the works of renowned foreign playwrights like Sartre, Peter Weiss, Jean Genet and Bertold Brecht. The group clearly drew inspiration from Nandikar, a highly active and already famous theatre group at the time. Due to politically sensitive content, they faced many obstructions in producing and performing their work, and eventually, the group discontinued its repertoire.

Dutta was first selected for the feature film Chalachitro, directed by renowned filmmaker Mrinal Sen. The film and his performance were critically acclaimed at the Venice Film Festival, but for unknown reasons, was never released commercially. Dutt said that he was more interested in doing art cinema than commercial mainstream cinema. After doing a few art films that were not so commercially successful, including the critically well-received Juganto, scarcity of job opportunities forced him to take up jobs in advertising and later as a journalist for the Kolkata-based daily, The Statesman.

Singing career

[edit]

At that time, Dutta was greatly influenced by the music of Bob Dylan, Kabir Suman who had heralded a new era in Bengali music through his songs. These songs and lyrics, commonly referred to as Jeebonmukhi (জীবনমুখী )(literally meaning "towards life"), were concerned with the tough reality of Bengali middle-class social life, in and around Kolkata.

Personal life
