Pioneer of Parallel Cinema
The New Indian Express Kozhikode
|December 24, 2024
Days after celebrating his 90th birthday, Shyam Benegal, a towering figure in Indian cinema and a pioneer of the Parallel Cinema movement, passed away in Mumbai on Monday evening.
Benegal, whose body of work straddled the worlds of mainstream and alternative cinema with remarkable dexterity, leaves behind a legacy of nuanced storytelling and sharp social critique.
Born on December 14, 1934, into a Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin family in Hyderabad, Shyam Sunder Benegal exhibited an early fascination with filmmaking. At the tender age of 12, he created his first short film with a camera gifted by his photographer father, Sridhar B Benegal.
