Bhagwan Das Varma (1907-1962) was a Bollywood film producer and director. He was one of six brothers that were founders/partners of Varma Films, a company predominantly involved with the production and distribution of Hindi language films. After the Varma Films banner was retired in the mid-1950s, Bhagwan Das continued his film production and distribution activities with two affiliated companies: Varma Pictures and V. P. Productions.
During his 11-year career span, starting from its inception with the release of the film Suhaag Raat[1] in 1948, to the release of his last film, Main Nashe Mein Hoon[2] in 1959, Bhagwas Das Varma directed 3 films: Aurat (1953),[3] Pooja (1954)[4] and Baghi Sipahi (1958).[5] A sample of the careers of 3129 movie directors shows that about 63% directors made only one movie, and only about 7% directors made 3 or more movies.[6] A more recent but smaller sample of the careers of 193 movie directors shows that about 34% directors make only one movie and only about 14% made 3 or more movies.[7] With Bhagwan Das’s career including 3 movies as a director, the above comparison benchmarks are indicators of the notability of Bhagwan Das arising from his prolific directional proclivity.
