'''Vinod Pande''' (also known as '''Vinod Pandey''') is an Indian film director, actor, producer and writer.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Pande was born in the state of [[Uttar Pradesh]], where his father was working as a doctor at a government dispensary. Pande studied social work in [[Udaipur]] and came to [[Bombay]] in the early 1960s. There he worked for [[All India Radio]], among others. In May 1966, he moved to London, where he worked at the advertising agency Image Enterprises, for which he made several commercials. He also worked as a Hindi news anchor at the [[BBC]]. For the [[British Film Institute]] he made his first documentary in Hindi, ''London Me Bharat'', in 1972, which deals with the everyday life of South Asian British people in the London suburbs (Southall).<ref name="harmony">{{cite web|url=https://www.harmonyindia.org/people_posts/nomad-at-heart/ |title=Nomad at heart| date=October 2017| publisher=Harmony — Celebrate Age Magazine| website=harmonyindia.org| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201205025426/https://www.harmonyindia.org/people_posts/nomad-at-heart/| archive-date=5 December 2020}}</ref><ref name="southbanklondon">{{cite web| url=https://southbanklondon.com/node/7154| title=BFI South Asian Britain on Film| author=Jennifer Edwards| date=9 August 2017| access-date=13 October 2021| website=southbanklondon.com}}</ref><ref name="bfi">{{cite web| url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2ba3f5de7e| title=Vinod Pande - Filmography| access-date=15 October 2021| website=www2.bfi.org.uk| publisher=[[British Film Institute]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 1980, he made his first Hindi film ''[[Ek Baar Phir]]'', which was produced entirely in the UK. The film was denied permission to contest in the [[National Film Awards]] for this reason. Following this, Pande moved back to India.<ref name="harmony"/><br />
With ''[[Star (1982 film)|Star]]'' (1982), he tried the form of the film musical in the western style.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Rajadhyaksha |first1=Ashish |title=Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema |last2=Willemen |first2=Paul |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |year=1998 |isbn=0-19-563579-5 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nOZkAAAAMAAJ| author-link1=Ashish Rajadhyaksha| author-link2=Paul Willemen |orig-year=1994| page=169}}</ref><br />

<br />
His film ''[[Sins (film)|Sins]]'' (2005), which deals with the sexual relationship between a Catholic priest and a younger woman, provoked protests from Indian Christians.<ref name="bbc">{{cite web| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4284769.stm| title=Church anger over Bollywood film| date=21 February 2005| accessdate=21 October 2021| website=[[BBC.co.uk]]}}</ref><br />
The film is based on a news story that Pande read in 1988 about a Kerala priest sentenced to death on sexual harassment and murder charges.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://in.rediff.com/movies/2005/feb/22sins.htm|title=Sins: 'Very tragic, sensitive story' (Interview with Vinod Pande)|date=22 February 2005|publisher=Rediff|accessdate=25 July 2015}}</ref><br />
The psychological thriller ''[[Red Swastik]]'' (2007), with model [[Sherlyn Chopra]] in the lead role, had scenes that were comparatively revealing for Indian films - after being raped, the protagonist takes revenge on her tormentors and kills them one after the other.<ref name="swastik">{{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630034053/http://hindimp3songsdownload.blogspot.com/2007/06/red-swastik-hindi-movie-free-download.html |date=30 June 2007}}</ref><br />
<br />
Pande is the author of three English-language novels: ''Don's Wife'', ''Saanvri - The Story of a Concubine'', and ''Destiny''.<ref name="harmony"/><br />
