Hrishikesh Mukherjee was among the best film makers of Indian Cinema. He brought us some of the finest stories out of ordinary life and yet managed to leave a huge impression on us. His films bespoke of middle-class, genteel sensibility, lined with deep intelligence and observation. Inspite of showing reality he could transport the common man into a surreal world of soul stirring emotional moments.

In a career spanning over half a century, he gave cinema lovers some memorable films like 'Anand', 'Anuradha', 'Chupke Chupke', 'Bawarchi', 'Guddi', 'Mili', 'Abhimaan' 'Rajnigandha' to name a few. All these films have become milestones in Indian cinema. He also worked as writer for 15 films, including 'Namak Haram', 'Abhimaan', 'Bawarchi' and 'Guddi'. He was also involved as editor with 15 films.
