Early life and education[edit]

Chakraborty was born as Gourango Chakraborty in Kolkata, India, on 16 June 1950 to
Basanta Kumar Chakraborty and Shanti Rani Chakraborty. [3][2][4] 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.[8] He was a Naxalite before entering films, but tragedy struck his
family when his only brother was electrocuted and killed in a freak accident. [8][21] He
returned to his family and left the Naxalite fold, even though this posed a grave risk to
his own life.[26] 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 manipulational skills and oratory abilities. [27]

Bollywood career[edit]
Debut and stardom (1976–1990)[edit]
Chakraborty made his Bollywood debut with Mrinal Sen's National Award winning
film Mrigayaa (1976), for which he won the National Film Award for Best Actor.[8] After
playing a few minor roles in films such as Do Anjaane (1976) and Phool Khile Hain
Gulshan Gulshan (1978), his first major successful film was the 1978 film Mera
Rakshak.[28] During those days Chakraborty was supported by his Nadi Theke
Sagare co-star Debashree Roy.[29] He rose to stardom with the low budget spy
film Surakshaa (1979), directed by Ravikant Nagaich.[21] The film was so successful that
many movies starring Chakraborty in the lead were launched. His combination
with Deepak Bahry also happened for the first time in 1979 with Tarana and they would
go on to collaborate on many hit films together in the 1980s such as Humse Badhkar
Kaun, Hum Se Hai Zamana and Woh Jo Hasina. Another important film for Chakraborty
in the late 1970s was Prem Vivah, directed by Basu Chatterjee.
Mithun Chakraborty literally ruled Bollywood in the 1980s, with the brand of impossible
heroics and made-for-the-front-row lines[30] as he starred in over 110 releases in this
decade. He starred in films of various genres such as action, family drama, romance
and comedy.[8] Chakraborty played Bheema in the super-hit multi-starrer Hum
Paanch (1980). He played dual roles for the first time in Taxi Chor (1980) and later
played dual roles in several films such as Aamne Samne (1982) Kasam Paida Karne
Wale Ki (1984) and Rakta Bandhan (1984).
In 1982, he shot to superstardom with his most recognisable leading role in the
musical Disco Dancer, which extended Chakraborty's popularity across India and into
Russia[8] and established him as a dancing star.[31] The film's director Babbar
Subhash teamed up with Chakraborty again with the cult musical films Kasam Paida
Karne Wale Ki (1984), Dance Dance (1987) and Commando (1988) which were also
successful. His 1985 superhit movie Pyar Jhukta Nahin reconfirmed his top star status.
That same year, he was also appreciated for his role as Javar in the JP
Dutta film, Ghulami. Chakraborty also became India's highest tax payer in 1986.
[32]
 Chakraborty's most successful family dramas included Mujhe Insaaf
Chahiye (1983), Ghar Ek Mandir (1984), Swarag Se Sunder (1986) and Pyaar Ka
Mandir (1988). His comedies included Shaukeen (1982) Pasand Apni Apni (1983)
and Baat Ban Jaye (1986) and action films such as Jagir (1984), Jaal (1986),
Dilwala(1986), Muddat(1986), Watan Ke Rakhwale (1987), Jeete Hain Shaan
Se (1988), Waqt Ki Awaz (1988), Ilaaka(1989), Daata(1989) and Guru (1989). These
films remain his most commercially successful films to date.[33] His performances never
won any award in 1986 and 1987 as the Filmfare Awards were never announced due to
technical reasons. As Chakraborty always had a high number of releases, sometimes it
affected the business of his own films, as happened in 1989, where he had a record 19
films, including super hits like Ilaaka, Mujrim, Prem Pratigya and Daata And hits
like Ladaai, Guru and Bees Saal Baad.
1990–99[edit]
Chakraborty had another 100 plus releases in this decade too, [8] starting
with Agneepath, which won him the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. Films
such as Shandaar,Gunahon Ka Devta, Pyar Ka Devta,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.[8] In this period he decided to take a
break from Mumbai. He shifted his entire family to Ooty and he constructed The
Monarch Hotel. Chakraborty 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 Chakraborty were launched every
week, so he shifted his focus from mainstream Hindi cinemas to low-budget movies.
[8]
 Dalaal was released followed by other low-budget films such as Phool Aur
Angaar, Ravan Raaj: A True Story and Shapath, which created a market for low-
budget productions.[34]
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.
[35][36][37][38][39]
 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. By this time,
Chakraborty held the record for appearing in the most Hindi films as a hero. [21] A
third National Award followed in 1998, this time as the Best Supporting Actor, for his
portrayal of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa in G. V. Iyer's Swami Vivekananda.[8] Once
again, the overdose of Chakraborty releases affected the business as 1998 and 1999
itself had almost 30 releases.[21] Meantime, he paid more taxes than anyone else in the
country in the mean period for 5 continuous years, from 1995 to 1999. [40][41][42] This decade
proved Chakraborty as a businessman more than a star as low-budget filmmakers were
given their due by Mithun. He operates hotels in Masinagudi and Ooty in Tamil Nadu,
Mysore, Siliguri and Kolkata.[43]
2000–20[edit]
Since 2009, Chakraborty and Akshay Kumar have starred together in several films. Pictured above are (r - l)
Kumar, Chakraborty and Riteish Deskmukh at a Karate event.

Mithun's Dream Factory films still continued to hold the audiences. He featured in

Prasanta Bal's period drama Hindustani Sipahi (2002), based on veteran actor and
dramatist Utpal Dutt's Bengali play Ferari Fauj.[44] Chakraborty also made a comeback to
the mainstream Hindi film industry in 2005 with the film Elaan.[45] 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).[8] His 2009 movie Zor Lagaa Ke...Haiya! won
multiple International awards[46] and Chal Chalein was appreciated by critics for its bold
theme. The 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 of 2009.
Chakraborty's recent films include Veer, (2010) with Salman Khan and Golmaal
3 (2010), with Ajay Devgn. And in 2012, he did 3 films with Akshay Kumar, Housefull
2, OMG – Oh My God![21] and Khiladi 786. His home production Enemmy (2013) was
with his son Mimoh Chakraborty and actor Sunil Shetty and he did Anthony
D'Souza's Boss (2013) with Akshay Kumar. In Subhash Ghai's Kaanchi... (2014), he
played an evil politician wearing facial prosthetics that won him critical
acclaim. Kick with Salman Khan earned more than ₹375 crore worldwide, and at the
time was the third highest-grossing Bollywood film. Chakraborty also
had Entertainment and Hawaizaada as recent releases and now he is playing the lead
role in Geher, a horror film directed by Ram Gopal Varma[47][48][49] and Anil
Sharma's Genius (2018) released worldwide successfully. Chakraborty's 2019 Hindi
flick The Tashkent Files directed by Vivek Agnihotri was released on 12 April 2019 is a
big hit.[50][51][citation needed]

Regional film career[edit]
