.Such eminent
persons like Mr. Prashanta
Nanda not only glory and
popularity to himself but
also make the State of
Orissa and the Country
proud of him.
Through
film industry in Orissa,
he is active in acting
& making films since
1939, but it had only
symbolic existence till
1976. The great change in
the industry took place
only after 1976 when
Prashanta Nanda took
charge.
Mr. Prashanta Nanda,
started off his career in
the film industry as an
actor with the film "Dasyu
Ratnakar" in 1959 and
since then he is
involved in the industry
in many ways.
He
received National Award
for his acting in 1960
with the film "Nua
Bou". He also
received National Award in
1966 as an artist for his
perfurmance in "Matira
Manisha" directed by
Mrinal Sen. He received
National Award again in
acting in 1969 for the
film "Adina Megha".
He is continuously acting
in Oriya films since 1959
i.e.39 years.
He
gave a face lift to Oriya
films & the industry
by his innovative
directing and writing. His
efforts gave a new leas of
life to Oriya films and
revived it from natural
economic death. His hard
work, began a new
tradition of film making
from 1976 and gave a new
thrust to Oriya film
industry. The
industry flourished. One
film in 2/3 years concept
soon replaced with 15/18
film in a year. Thus, a
stage was made for many
people to fulfill their
creative desire. The begin
of 1990s brought a
satisfaction to Mr.
Prashanta Nanda when all
the films released in 1990
and 1991 were made either
by Mr. Nanda or by his
Assistants who have become
makers by now.
The
concept and schooling of
commercial cinema was
preached unceasingly by
Mr. Nanda and the idea was
well accepted by the
people of Orissa over the
last 22 years. It was
almost one man show
throughout this 22 years
where interaction between
Mr. Nanda and the people
of Orissa was in proper
harmony.
