Biography

Early life and education

T. V. Chandran was born in

Farook College, University of Calicut,^[3] he embarked on a career as a Reserve Bank of India employee.^[4]

Career

T. V. Chandran has had no formal training in film-making.

Kerala State Film Awards. P. A. Backer was awarded Best Director that year for his directorial debut. The cast includes T. V. Chandran, Raveendran, J. Siddiqui and Shalini.^[5]^[6] Chandran then worked as an assistant to P. A. Backer and the avant-garde filmmaker John Abraham. According to Chandran, it was his association with director Pavithran (who also produced Kabani Nadi Chuvannappol),^[7] that caused his transformation into the "condemned status" of a filmmaker. He says: "Our association had begun when I was just over 14, and since then we used to clandestinely share our interest in the film medium. Filmmaking was an event of celebration in the case of Pavithran and every phase of his productions had an exciting participation of the masses."^[8]

Chandran debuted as a director with

Nasiruddin Shah, in the film that focused the spotlight on the feudal era. The film earned the national and state awards to Mammootty.^[4]

Chandran's next venture
Vimochana Samaram (Liberation Struggle) of 1959. The film earned a national and a state award to Chandran.^[4] With critical success coming back to back, Chandran wrote and directed Mangamma, which told the story of a bold woman who stands up to all the trials and survives. Produced by the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC), it was screened at the Zanzibar International Film Festival. The film won many major awards, including national and state awards.^[12]^[13]

The references to
comedy-drama with Mammootty in the title role.^[9] It was Chandran's third collaboration with Mammootty. As expected, the film garnered universal acclaim with most of the critics hailing the performance of Mammootty. Chandran himself has rated this as the finest performance by any lead actor. The protagonist of this film is a mute witness to many of the historical happenings taking place around in the world. The film traces the life of this character and comments upon many things that may have social and political relevance. It won numerous awards including a National Film Award and three State Film Awards.^[15]^[9]^[16]

Dileep, the film follows a murder mystery. The film tells the story of a civil engineer who commits suicide as a protest against the 2002 Gujarat riots. The film stands odd in the filmography of Chandran for the narrative style it had.^[20] The film emerged the biggest winner at the Kerala State Film Awards with four wins.^[21] Chandran then worked in a Tamil psychological drama - Aadum Koothu (2005). The film unfolds from the life of a college student who can see what others don't. The film – starring Navya Nair, Cheran and Prakash Raj – was screened at various film festivals in 2005-06, but was not released in theatres. It won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil in 2005. Vilapangalkkappuram - based on the aftermath of the Gujarat riots of 2002 - was released in 2005. Priyanka, Biju Menon, Sudheesh and Suhasini
played the pivotal roles, and Priyanka won a state award for her performance in the film as a Muslim woman gang raped by a group of communalists.
In 2008, Chandran returned as an actor after his debut in Kabani Nadi Chuvannappol, in M. G. Sasi's Atayalangal. He played the supporting role of Bhaskara Kurup in the film that won five state film awards.^[22]^[23] With Boomi Malayalam (2009), he associated with Suresh Gopi for the first time. The film depicted the plight of seven different women who represent different periods of time. It won the award for the second best feature film at the state film awards.^[24]
All these films were average performers at the box office although they received strong positive reviews from critics and garnered awards at state, national and international levels. All of his films were screened at major national and international film festivals. He is foraying into mainstream cinema with his next venture - Sankaranum Mohananum - a comedy fantasy starring Jayasurya, Meera Nandan and Rima Kallingal. Notabily, the film will have Jayasurya appearing in 20 different getups. The film is currently in production.
Chandran has also directed a few tele-films and tele-serials. Notable among them are the tele-film Varum Varaykakal, which won the State TV Award for Second Best Tele-film,^[25] and the tele-serial, Sadasivante Kumbasaram.^[26]
