Ahindra Choudhury (1896-1974) was an Indian actor, director, theatre personality, and co-founder of Photo Play Syndicate, a Kolkata-based art organization for bioscope shows. A winner of the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1958, Choudhury was honored by the Government of India in 1963 with the Padma Shri, the fourth-highest Indian civilian award, for his services to the nation. His foray into the movie world was in 1931 with Hrishir Prem, a Jyotish Bandopadhyay film. He retired from acting with Shahjahan, a drama staged on 11 September 1957 at Minerva Theatre, Kolkata. Years later, he appeared in one more film, Shravan Sandhya, in 1974.[8] He acted in 89 films, wrote a screenplay for his maiden venture, Soul of a Slave, and directed two films.
