He made his acting debut with the art house drama Mrigayaa (1976), for which he won his first National Film Award for Best Actor. Chakraborty is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema.[citation needed]

He gained fans as a dancing star and went on to establish himself as one of the all time top ten greatest and most popular actors of India, particularly recognized for his role as the street dancer Jimmy in the 1982 Bollywood movie Disco Dancer. He also attracted worldwide audiences, particularly in the former Soviet Union[1][2][3] where he became a household name for his role in Disco Dancer.[4] He later won two more National Film Awards for his performances in Tahader Katha (1992) & Swami Vivekananda (1998). Chakraborty has appeared in about 350 films[5] including Bengali, Oriya, Bhojpuri and Punjabi[6] pictures. He owns the Monarch Group, which has interests in the hospitality sector[7] and educational sector.[8] He has also started the production house Paparatzy Productions[9] Chakraborty is the Chairperson of Film Studios Setting & Allied Mazdoor Union which take care the welfare of cine workers and resolve their demands and problems.[10][11][12][13] The Television show Dance India Dance where Mithun is the Grandmaster has already entered in Limca Book of Records and Guinness World Records [14] Chakraborty played a crucial role of mediator between Pranab Mukherjee and Mamata Banerjee, winning the Congressman the support of the Trinamool chief in the 2012 presidential election.[15] A comic book named Jimmy Zhingchak has been made based on Chakraborty.[16][17][18][19]

Early life and education

Mithun Chakraborty was born on 16th JuNE,1950.He was educated at the Oriental Seminary, the Scottish Church College of the University of Calcutta, where he majored in chemistry, and at the Film and Television Institute of India. He was a staunch Naxalite before entering films, but tragedy struck his family when his only brother was electrocuted and killed in a freak accident. He returned to his family and left the Naxalite fold, even though this posed a grave risk to his own life.[20] He had also undergone expert training in Martial Arts to the grade of black belt [21] that made him excel in fight sequences.

Film career

1970s

File:MithunAward.jpg
Mithun receiving his Best Actor National Award for Mrigaya

Mithun Chakraborty made his debut in the 1976 Mrinal Sen-directed film Mrigaya, for which he won the National Film Award for Best Actor. Even after winning the National Award, the struggling days were almost same when he reached Mumbai from Kolkata. Then he became an assistant to dancer Helen under the name Rana Rej.[22] During this period Mithun Chakraborty fought against struggle for existence. Then, he shared the screen with Amitabh Bachchan, a small role in Do Anjaane, followed by Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan, Hamara Sansar and Amar Deep. In between, his film Mera Rakshak was a success of 1978. Mithun rose to stardom with the low budget Ravikant Nagaich directed spy film Surakshaa, released in 1979. The film was so successful, that many movies starring Mithun in the lead role were launched. The combination with director Deepak Bahry also happened for the first time in 1979 with Tarana. Another important film for Mithun in the late 70s was Prem Vivah, directed by Basu Chatterjee.

1980s

Mithun had over 110 releases in the 1980s. He had also done lighter roles in Shaukeen, Sun Sajna and Aamne Samne. As Amitabh Bachchan moved to politics, Mithun became Bollywood' s second highest paid star after Bachchan.[23] He also became India's highest tax payer in 1986.[24] Chakraborty went on to star in a number of romantic and family dramas during the 1980s, such as Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye, Ghar Ek Mandir, Pyaar Jhukta Nahin, Swarag Se Sunder and Pyaar Ka Mandir. These films remain his most commercially successful films to date.[25] He was also widely recognized as an action hero in films like Jagir (1984), Jaal, Dilwaala (1986), Watan Ke Rakhwale (1987) and Waqt Ki Awaz. His performances never won any award in 1986 and 1987 as Filmfare Awards was never announced due to technical reasons. As Mithun always had higher number of releases, sometimes it affected the business of his own films as happened in 1989, where he had a record 19 films.

1990s

Mithun had another 100 plus releases in this decade too, starting with Agneepath which won him the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. Films like Shandaar, Pyar Ka Karz, Gunahon Ka Devta, Pyar Ka Devta, Pyar Hua Chori Chori, Trinetra and Mere Sajana Saath Nibhana followed. In 1992, the critically acclaimed Bengali film Tahader Katha won him his second National Film Award for Best Actor. In this period he decided to take a break from Mumbai. He shifted his entire family to Ooty and he constructed The Monarch Hotel. Mithun then decided to do movies only to be shot at Ooty and nearby locations and he provided discount rates to the film crew to stay in his hotel as well. This strategy paid off as numerous films starring Mithun was launched every week, so he shifted his focus from mainstream Hindi cinemas to low-budget movies. Dalaal was released followed by other low-budget films like Phool Aur Angaar and Ravan Raaj: A True Story. In 1997 his releases Shapath, Jodidar , Loha, Kaalia, Daadagiri and Suraj created a market for low budget productions.[26] Jallad won him the Filmfare Best Villain Award and Star Screen Award Best Villain for the year 1995. His economical film production was popular as Mithun's Dream Factory.[27][28][29][30][31] Even he could not do Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Iruvar as his character had to crop his hair, which would have affected his other 15 films at that time. He paid more tax than anyone else in the country in the mean period for 5 years, from 1995 to 1999.[24] By this time, Chakraborty held the record for appearing in the most number of Hindi films as a hero. A third National Award followed in 1998, this time for the Best Supporting Actor, for his portrayal of Ramakrishna Paramhansa, in G. V. Iyer's Swami Vivekananda. Once again the overdose of Mithun releases affected the business as 1998 and 1999 itself had almost 30 releases. This decade proved Mithun as a businessman more than a star as low-budget filmmakers were given their due by Mithun. He operates hotels in Mudhumalai and Ooty in Tamil Nadu, Darjeeling, Siliguri[32] and Kolkata.[33]

2000s

Mithun's Dream Factory films still continued to hold the audiences, moreover he started doing more Bengali films and gave consistent films like Titli, Guru, Barood, Yuddho and Tulkalam. Chakraborty also made a comeback to the mainstream Hindi film industry in 2005 with the film Elaan. After a few supporting roles in films such as Lucky: No Time for Love (2005) and Dil Diya Hai (2006), he starred in Mani Ratnam's film Guru. He was also acclaimed for his villainous role in Kalpana Lajmi's Chingaari (2005). His 2009 movie Zor Lagaa Ke...Haiya! won multiple International awards[34] and Chal Chalein was appreciated by critics for its bold theme. Critically acclaimed Phir Kabhi with Dimple Kapadia had a première through a direct to home (DTH) release in September 2009 and won as many as six awards in as many categories at the Los Angeles Reel Awards 2009.
