Dhirubhai Desai (Director) - Show Filmography
Dhirubhai B. Desai (1908-90) Hindi and Gujarati director born in Kaliawadi, near Navsari, Gujarat. Started at Sharda Studio (1927); assisted A.P. Kapur. Completed Maya Na Rang, left unfinished by P.V. Chavan and Sundarrao Nadkarni when Bhogilal Dave took over his United Pics Syndicate in 1929. Early work marked by the Sharda genre of action films and later by Indulal Yagnik’s politically informed melodrama. Also worked for Nanubhai Desai’s Saroj Film. Set up own talkie studio, Vishnu Cinetone (with Surya Kumari, 1933), with Natwar Shyam Maniar and Chaturbhai Patel. Later also owned Chandrakala Pics. One of the few silent film- makers with a long career in Hindi and Gujarati B-movies. Post-40s films mainly cheap mythologicals, often remakes of silent hits.
