For long a political cartoonist of BLITZ (19 years) Basu Chatterji's entry into cinema was through film society movement.
During his seven long years as an active member of Film Forum, a film society, he was exposed to films from various countries like France, Italy, Sweden, Japan etc unlike others who could see only Hollywood films.
He became secretary of film forum, which became the largest film society of the country in the sixties. He was also the secretary of federation of film societies of India, Western region for quite sometime.
The exposure of other kind of cinema influenced him to make his first feature film Sara Akash (1970) which turned out to be a refreshingly novel attempt to depict the everyday middle-class milieu.
It was an interesting success and he never looked back. Soon followed Rajanigadha, Chitchor, Chooti Si Baat, Khatta Meetha, Swami, Shaukeen and many more which established him as the pioneer of the other kind of cinema.
His forays into television serials also brought memorable soap operas like 'Rajani', 'Darpan', 'Kakkaji Kahin' and 'Byomkesh Bakshi'.
Basu Chatterji's venture into Bengali cinema began with the film Hothat Brishti (1998), which is admirably his 37th feature film.
