He was born in Dhaka, now in modern-day Bangladesh, when it was part of East Bengal in British India.

Sen started his career, assisting director-producer Bimal Roy at New Theatres in Kolkata, however, the Kolkata-based film industry was now on the decline, thus Roy shifted base to Bombay (now Mumbai) along with his team in 1950, which included Sen, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Nabendu Ghosh, Kamal Bose and later Salil Chaudhury, and by 1952 he had restarted the second phase of his career with Maa (1952) for Bombay Talkies. Though he had made the Assamese film Biplabi (1948), after his shift, he made his Hindi film debut with Parivaar (1956), produced by Bimal Roy and starring Kishore Kumar, and Usha Kiran, however he continued working in Bengali cinema. He assisted Roy in Parineeta (1953) and Biraj Bahu (1954). Next he made the Bengali film Chalachal in 1956, starring Arundhati Devi, which was a success, and many years later he remade the film in Hindi as Safar, which was also a hit. In 1959, he made Deep Jwele Jaai (1959), starring Suchitra Sen, set in a psychiatric hospital, which again he remade in Hindi as Khamoshi in 1969, with Rajesh Khanna and Waheeda Rehman. In Mamta (1966), a remake of his 1963 Bengali film Uttar Falguni, a story about class conflict, he excelled as a storyteller. The film had lead actress Suchitra Sen in a double role, and featured memorable songs, "Rahen Na Rahen Hum", sung by Lata Mangeshkar and her hit duet "Chuppa Lo Yun Dil Mein Pyar Mera", with Hemant Kumar. He joined National Institute of Film And Fine Arts in 1993 as the Vice principal of the organisation and till his death he served in film education for society.
