Kishore Sahu (22 November 1915 – 22 August 1980) was an Indian actor, film director, screenwriter, and producer.[1] He appeared in 22 films between 1937 and 1980, and he directed 20 films between 1942 and 1974.
His directorial venture Kuwara Baap was one of the winners for the BFJA - Best Indian Films Award for best film for 1943.[2] His film Raja has been called "a milestone of art and skill in motion pictures".[3] His film Veer Kunal was a huge box office success.[4] He directed Dilip Kumar with Kamini Kaushal in Nadiya Ke Paar, which became the sixth highest grossing Indian film of 1948.[5] His 1954 film Mayurpankh was entered into the 1954 Cannes Film Festival,[6] where it was nominated for the Grand Prize of the Festival.
Sawan Aya Re did well commercially, with Baburao Patel of Filmindia remarking in the 9 May 1949 edition that Sahu's estimate had risen due to the "original treatment" he gave to an "otherwise ordinary" story.[7] He was also known for the Meena Kumari starrer, Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai (1960).
He had four children, Vimal Sahu, Naina Sahu, Mamta Sahu, and Rohit Sahu.[8] His wife Preeti was a Kumaoni Brahmin.[9]
Before marrying Preeti, he was briefly married to his Punar Milan (1940) co-star Snehprabha Pradhan before the relationship ended in 1943 after a court battle.[10][11]
