Early life

Suchinta Chanchal Chowdhury was born and raised in Kamarhaat village in Pabna, Bangladesh. [9] His father, Radha Gobinda Chowdhury (died 2022) [10] was a teacher, while mother Nomita is a housewife. [11] Chowdhury passed his SSC examination from Rajbari Government High School in 1990 and HSC examination from Rajbari Government College in 1992. [12] [13] In the same year he got admission in the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Dhaka and gradually developed an interest in acting. [13]

Chowdhury settled in Dhaka in 1993. From 2001 to 2006, he pursued his profession in UODA as a lecturer of Fine Arts. [7] [14] [15]

Career

Early work: stage and television (1996–2004)

Chowdhury joined Aranyak Nattyadal, a theater group headed by actor Mamunur Rashid, in 1996. [16] Chowdhury made his theatre debut in a play titled Kalo Daitya. [13] He worked in a number of plays, including the popular drama Shangkranti (1998). He played six roles in Che'r Cycle (2003), a Bengali Theatre production. The play was applauded by audience, and the actor considers it as one of his best works on stage. [17]

Chowdhury entered television in 2000, briefly playing a journalist in Rashid's Shundori. [18] His first leading role came the same year in the drama Grash, directed by Faridur Rahman. [18] [13] It was in 2004 that actor Fazlur Rahman Babu introduced Chowdhury to directors Gias Uddin Selim and Mostofa Sarwar Farooki. Chowdhury subsequently found more work in television dramas; his notable roles of this period include Selim's Shurjer Hashi (2005). [18]

Public recognition through dramas and early films (2005–15)

Chowdhury gained wider recognition for his two collaborations with Farooki: the commercial Maa (2005) and the drama Talpatar Shepai (2006). [13] [19] For Maa, he won the Meril Prothom Alo Award in Best Model category in 2006. [17] A starring role in the drama Vober Hat (2007) brought him further popularity, and he then went on to work with directors Salauddin Lavlu and Saidul Anam Tutul. [17] His acting in Lavlu's Sakin Sarisuri (2009) was praised by critics. The actor worked prolifically in television between late 2000s to early 2010s, and also started appearing frequently in Eid-special TV plays. [20]

Chowdhury's first film was the Tauquir Ahmed-directorial Rupkothar Golpo (2006), which earned him a Meril Prothom Alo award in Best Actor (Critics' Choice) category. [17] He won his first National Film Award for his breakthrough performance in the 2009 musical Monpura . [13] He followed this success with the Indo-Bangladeshi production Moner Manush (2010). [14] In 2012, he appeared in Farooki's film Television , and also made his debut in playback singing, alongside Meher Afroz Shaon, in the war film Pita (2012). [21] [22]

Continued success (2016–22)

The 2016 crime thriller Aynabaji , directed by Amitabh Reza, won Chowdhury his second National Film Award. [13] [18] He played a con-man who serves as body double to convicted criminals. Zahid Akbar of The Daily Star commended him for "performing remarkably and setting new acting standards". [23] The psychological thriller Debi (2018) starred Chowdhury as Misir Ali opposite Jaya Ahsan, directed by Anam Biswas. Based on Humayun Ahmed's novel of the same name, the film was well-received by critics and became a box-office success. [24] In 2020, he re-performed his play Che'r Cycle on stage. [25]

The 2020 thriller series Taqdeer , directed by Syed Ahmed Shawki and starring Chowdhury in the titular role, [26] was well-received by audience. The streaming channel Hoichoi's subscriptions reportedly doubled after its release. [27] His acting in Taqdeer won him a Blender's Choice – The Daily Star Award for best male performance. [28] The same year, he also won the Breakthrough Performance of the Year award at the Hoichoi ceremony, for his work in Taqdeer and Boli (2021). [29]

Previously having collaborated on Aynabaji, Chowdhury and director Amitabh Reza reunited in the Chorki web-film Munshigiri (2021). [30] He also played the central role in Giasuddin Selim's romantic thriller Paap Punno , which was released in 2022. [31] Chowdhury refers to the role of a mysterious, dumb-mute convict in Karagar (2022) as the most challenging one of his career. [28] [32] While the series opened to mixed-to-positive reviews, his acting earned significant critical praise and popularity, both in Bangladesh as well as in India. [32] [33] Further acclaim came for Chowdhury as Chan Majhi in Mejbaur Rahman Sumon's directorial debut, Hawa (2022). [34] [35] He won his third National Film Award for this performance. [36] Also in 2022, he made a comeback on stage with a supporting role in Rarang, a stage play based on the life of Alfred Soren. [25]

Recent work (2023–present)

Chowdhury made a cameo appearance as Sheikh Lutfar Rahman in the biopic Mujib: The Making of a Nation (2023), directed by Shyam Benegal. [37] In 2024, Chowdhury starred in another Chorki web-film, The Last Defenders of Monogamy, directed by Farooki. It opened to mixed reviews, with critics finding Chowdhury's character to be poorly written. [38] [39] He subsequently made a cameo appearance in Raihan Rafi's top-grossing crime thriller, Toofan (2024). [40]

Chowdhury next will be playing director Mrinal Sen in the biopic Padatik (to be released on August 15, 2024). [41]

Personal life

Chowdhury met his wife, Shanta, in his struggling days. They got married legally on August 7, 2007, and later on August 22, had a Hindu wedding ceremony. They have a son, Shaishob Rudra Shudda (b. 2009). [42] Shaishob made his debut in the 2022 drama Sushil Family playing a minor character. [43]

Public image

Media outlets describe Chowdhury as one of the highly acclaimed and successful actors of Bengali cinema. [7] [14] [18] [28] In addition to Bangladesh, he also has a significant fanbase in the Indian Bengal, where Hawa and Karagar have drawn popularity. [32] [33] Four of his starring films—Monpura (2009), Ayanbaji (2016), Debi (2018) and Hawa (2022)—rank among the highest-grossing Bangladeshi films, [44] and the latter two also are top-grossing Bangladeshi films internationally. [45] [46] [47] [48] In 2023, Chowdhury received the Shera Bangali (Best Bengali) Award in Kolkata at ABP Ananda Shera Bangali Shommanona ceremony. [36]

Chowdhury's mentor Mamunur Rashid defines him as "an ideal actor", noting that his hardwork and perseverance brought him stardom. [49] Syed Ahmed Shawki, who directed him in Karagar, named Chowdhury as "one of the finest actors of this time". [50] Remarking on his stardom and acclaim, M. H. Haider writing for The Daily Star called Chowdhury "a maestro of an actor, giving hit after hit." [28] Agnideb Bandyopadhyay of The Telegraph stated, "There is a new dimension to Chanchal Chowdhury that is unlocked with every project that he embarks on, where his fandom knows no borders or lines." Bandyopadhyay also credited the actor as the foremost propeller of Bengali media into the global scene. [32]

Chowdhury has garnered a reputation for being extremely selective about his projects. [32] [51] [52] [53] In 2009, after Monpura became a major hit, he was flooded by over 150 film offers but declined all of them. [18] In his own words, "out of a sea of offers, I pick the one that resonates with my artistic soul". [52] A writer for The Business Standard praised the actor's quality-over-quantity approach, contrasting it with his contemporaries who "are more worried about how they measure up to Shah Rukh Khan and Tom Cruise". [53]

Chowdhury is the celebrity endorser of multiple brands, including Bashundhra Tissue and Chik herbal hair color. [54] [55] He and actress Nusrat Imrose Tisha are part of the Ritu project that aims at spreading public health awareness on menstruation, [56] and he is also associated with Bashundhra's campaign on improving public perception of autistic people. [57] In August 2022, Chowdhury became the ambassador of Shikhbo, Jitbo, an educational startup aiming to enrich learning experience for students. [58]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cinema of Bangladesh</span> Bangladeshi films

The Cinema of Bangladesh, also known as Bangla cinema, is a diverse and vibrant entity, consisting of films produced across various regions in Bangladesh, each contributing its unique linguistic and cultural perspective. Beyond the dominant Dhaka based Bengali-language film industry Dhallywood, which is a portmanteau of "Dhaka" and "Hollywood", Bangladesh is home to cinema in several other languages and dialects. For instance, Chakma cinema from Bandarban, Garo cinema from Sherpur, Meitei and Sylheti cinema from Sylhet, Chatgaiya cinema from Chattogram. These regional cinemas play a crucial role in preserving and promoting the linguistic and cultural heritage of the country. The dominant style of Bangladeshi cinema is melodramatic cinema, which developed from 1947 to 1990 and characterizes most films to this day. Cinema was introduced in Bangladesh in 1898 by the Bradford Bioscope Company, credited to have arranged the first film release in Bangladesh. Between 1913 and 1914, the first production company, Picture House, was opened. A 1928 short silent film titled Sukumari was the first Bengali-produced film in the region. The first full-length film, The Last Kiss, was released in 1931.
