His long career saw him easily move between acting, directing, and writing plays, leaving a big impact on Bengal's culture and beyond. He started in theater in the 1950s, learning his skills, and then had his first movie role in the 1960s. Mitra's skill as a director showed in movies like "Bhagya Chakraborty" (the exact year needs checking), showing his great attention to detail and how well he told stories. People he worked with often praised his ability to get great performances from actors. One old actor said, "Sombhuda had a way of making you believe in the part, even if it was totally unlike you. He was a master." His hard work and care for his actors are shown in the good reviews his movies always got. Besides movies, Mitra's work on stage was just as important. His plays, full of social messages and moving stories, held audiences for years. He was known for his new ideas in staging and his ability to connect with people on a deep emotional level. His part in the famous "Rangakarmee Sammelan" in 1985 made his place as a key person in Bengali theater even stronger. Sombhu Mitra's work still matters today, inspiring many artists and shaping Indian performing arts. His story is one of imagination, hard work, and a deep understanding of human feelings.
