'''Anjan Dutt''' 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, Dutt began his career in [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali cinema]] in the [[Mrinal Sen]] film ''Chalachitro'', 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 Dutt was raised in the mountains of [[North Bengal]]. He had his schooling from [[St. Paul's School, Darjeeling|St. Paul's School]] in [[Darjeeling]].

In the late seventies, he joined a group called [[Open Theatre]] and in the early eighties performed plays translated from 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 that time. Due to politically sensitive content, they faced many obstructions in producing and performing their work, and eventually, the group discontinued its repertoire.

Dutt was first selected in 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, it was never released commercially. Dutt said that he was more interested in doing art cinema rather 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, Dutt was greatly influenced by the music of [[Kabir Suman]] who had heralded a new era in Bengali music through his songs. These songs and lyrics, commonly referred to as ''Jeebonmukhi'' (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 of the Indian industry.
