Bhattacharjee started as an assistant to Bimal Roy on many classic films of the 1950s . After the success of the film '' Madhumati '' ( 1958 ) , Bimal Roy asked him to direct '' Usne Kaha Tha '' , which Roy produced under Bimal Roy Productions label , thus starting Bhattacharjee 's career as a fully fledged director . However , '' Usne Kaha Tha '' itself was a " none too smooth takeoff " . Bhattacharjee went on to direct numerous films , and is best known for the dacoit film , '' Mujhe Jeene Do '' ( 1963 ) , which starred Sunil Dutt and Waheeda Rehman and was among the " Official Selection " at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival
