Manjul Sinha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manjul Sinha is an Indian television director.

Sinha always wanted to be a director[1], having grown up in a prominent family which had keen interest in films having a cinema hall at Patna, film distribution and interests in Bhojpuri films.

After graduating from the Film and Television Institute of India in Pune in 1977[2] Manjul Sinha came to Bombay in pursuit of a career in Direction. After directing many small television advertisements, his first major break was with Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi which was among the first sitcoms on Indian television[1]. At that time Indian television viewership was seeing a new dawn, colour television having just arrived, and Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi became very popular: cinema halls ran empty during the half-hour show on Friday night[1].

More recently Sinha has been involved in making Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan[1], another television serial.

In 2004 he was included on the panel of judges for the 29th Radio and Television Advertising Practitioners' Association of India (RAPA) awards[3].
