Legendary filmmaker Shyam Benegal, renowned for his significant contributions to Indian cinema, passed away on Monday at the age of 90. “He passed away at 6.38 pm at Wockhardt Hospital Mumbai Central. He had been suffering from chronic kidney disease for several years but it had gotten very bad. That’s the reason for his death,” his daughter Pia Benegal told PTI.

Wockhardt Hospital sources said Benegal had been admitted to the ICU.

Just nine days ago, on his 90th birthday, actors who had worked with him through the decades gathered to wish him on the landmark day, almost as a last sayonara to the filmmaker who had given them perhaps the best roles of their careers.He is survived by his daughter and wife Nira Benegal.

Tributes poured in for the veteran filmmaker with President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying a glorious chapter of Indian cinema has ended with his passing but his work will continue to be admired by generations to come.

Political leaders and parties, people from the film industry and other walks of life hailed Benegal as a master storyteller who redefined cinema, inspired all with his films and created stars out of great actors.

President Murmu said Benegal started a new kind of cinema and crafted several classics.

“A veritable institution, he groomed many actors and artists. His extraordinary contribution was recognised in the form of numerous awards including Dadasaheb Phalke Award and Padma Bhushan. My condolences to the members of his family and his countless admirers,” she posted on X.

Director Sandip Ray described the death of Benegal as a personal loss for the Ray family, recalling that the ace director had made a documentary on his father, the legendary Satyajit Ray, whom he affectionately called ‘Manikda.’

Talking to PTI, Sandip expressed his shock at the news of Benegal’s passing, remembering how the two shared a warm, personal bond that deepened after the filmmaker made Ankur (1974).

“Whenever my father visited Mumbai, Benegal would invite him to his home and to film screenings. They had a unique relationship,” Sandip said.

Benegal died at Mumbai’s Wockhardt Hospital where he was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

“He passed away at 6.38 pm at Wockhardt Hospital Mumbai Central. He had been suffering from chronic kidney disease for several years but it had gotten very bad. That’s the reason for his death,” his daughter Pia Benegal told PTI.

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan said he was surprised to learn that Benegal made “Manthan” movie through crowd funding in 1976. “I pray to God for the peace of his soul,” Kalyan SAID in a press release.
