Biography

Pulak Bandyopadhyay (2 May 1931 – 7 September 1999) was born and brought up in Salkia, Howrah. His family had close links with art circles, in particular in drama, literature, and music. He was a graduate of the Scottish Church College, in Calcutta. He experimented with various genres and in the process contributed richly to the evolution of musical compositions in Bengali cinema during the 1960s and 1970s. The sheer spontaneity of his compositions made him a much sought-after lyricist. He committed suicide by jumping off a launch into the Hooghly River.
