Timeline
Ravindra Dave (16 April 1919 – 21 July 1992) was an Indian film director, producer, editor and screenwriter.
Ravindra Dave was born on 16 April 1919 in Karachi, British India (modern day Pakistan) in a Brahmin family.
His family belonged to Halvad (modern day Gujarat, India).
At the age of 14, he joined his uncle Dalsukh M. Pancholi in Lahore as a production manager for his Punjabi films.
He learned editing from producer and director Shaukat Hussain Rizvi.
Dave directed two songs for Shiri-Farhad in 1942, which was left incomplete by director Prahalad Dutt.
His direction of songs impressed his uncle Dalsukh Pancholi who entrusted him with the job.
In 1943, he co-directed Poonji with Vishnu R. Pancholi.
The film revolves around three sisters trying to prevent their father from remarrying.
His next noir film, Dhamki, was a suspense thriller.
After the partition of India, he left Lahore and moved to Bombay (now Mumbai), India.
He directed social dramas, comedies, mythological as well as patriotic films.
He directed several murder mysteries and suspense thrillers.
Sawan Bhado was his first film after moving to Bombay.
He directed more than 30 Hindi films in the 1950s and 1960s including several hits like Nagina (1951), Agra Road (1957), Post Box 999 (1958), Satta Bazaar (1959), Dulha Dulhan (1964) and Raaz (1967).
The film introduced playback singer C. H. Atma and the music was composed by Shankar Jaikishan.
Following its success, Dave named his production company Nagina Films.
He produced Satta Bazaar, starring Balraj Sahni and Meena Kumari, and Dulha Dulhan, starring Raj Kapoor and Sadhana under the banner of Nagina Films.
His films Moti Mahal and Char Minar were thrillers.
Post Box 999, starring Sunil Dutt and Shakila, was inspired by the Hollywood film Call Northside 777.
He worked with some of the leading composers of the time, including: Ghulam Haider, Husnlal Bhagatram, Vijaysinghraje Patwardhan, Shankar Jaikishan, C. Ramchandra, Chitragupta, O. P. Nayyar, Manna Dey, S. D. Burman, Roshan, Kalyanji-Anandji and Ravi.
As a result, he turned his production crew to Gujarati cinema to keep them employed.
He directed Jesal Toral based on the local legend of Gujarat launching the careers of Upendra Trivedi and Ramesh Mehta.
The film proved to be one of the biggest hits of Gujarati cinema and ran for 25 weeks in theatres.
It won 17 awards from the Government of Gujarat.
The film is considered to have revived the Gujarati cinema.
His other blockbuster Gujarati films include: Raja Bharathari, Hothal Padmani, Kunwarbai nu Mameru, Shetal Ne Kanthe, Malavpati Munj, Bhadar Tara Vehta Pani, Son Kansari, and Patali Parmar.
His last Gujarati film was Malo Nagde starring Upendra Trivedi, Aruna Irani and Mulraj Rajda.
He directed 26 Gujarati films in total.
Upendra Trivedi starred in 16 of them and he collaborated with music composer Avinash Vyas on 20 of them.
He turned to Gujarati cinema with his blockbuster Jesal Toral (1971) and directed more than 25 Gujarati films in the 1970s and 1980s.
In the 1980s, he undertook a crime thriller titled Mera Pati Mera Qatil with the hope of returning to Hindi films, but the film never went into production due to his ill health and financial constraints.
Years later, Rakesh Roshan produced Khoon Bhari Maang with a similar plot which was declared a hit.
Ravindra Dave died on 21 July 1992 in Mumbai.
