Jukti, Takko Aar Gappo is “about a failed life and an argument that goes beyond it, beyond Ghatak himself,” according to Geeta Kapur in her study of this film titled Self into History: Ritwik Ghatak’s Jukti Takko Aar Gappo. “When he made Jukti in 1974, he was at the end of his tether; his health and sanity were disintegrating. But he was astute eno...
Titas Ekti Nadir Naam (1973) revealed Ghatak’s obsession with the female principle all over again. The film revolves around the life and ultimate dissolution of a fishing community on the banks of the river Titash in Bangladesh. Around the film’s time setting, forty years before it was made, the river starts drying up. Death and starvation threaten...
Bari Theke Paliye is an enjoyable film that critics say contains autobiographical accounts from Ghatak’s own truant childhood. It is the story of a young boy who runs away from his village home to a large city. Though the city remains unnamed, we see Calcutta on screen. Kanchan, the little boy, gets help in the city from people on the fringes of so...

It portrayed the slow and tragic descent of a middle-class family. This descent, several rungs down the hierarchical ladder of the socio-economic clas...

It achieves this by using sounds recorded during post-production to emph...
Komal Gandhar is an autobiographical film and the resolution in terms of personal hope and compassion through surviving social contradictions. The story revolves around a group of youngsters committed to resolving the contradictions of independent India through theatre performed in small towns and rural areas. It grew into a movement, reflecting th...
Subarnarekha opens with the foundation of Naba Jiban Colony, a colony for refugees in Calcutta. The story zeroes in on the theme of uprooting – geographic, emotional, moral, and for Sita, even political. The storyline is deceptively simple in appearance. As the film comes across over its 132 minutes of screening time, it sends a series of electric ...
Three films, namely Meghe Dhaka Tara (1960), Komal Gandhar (1961), and Subarnarekha (1962), dealt with the ravaged psyche of the victims of partitioned Bengal. Together, the three are regarded as a complex, trend-setting, cinematically splendid trilogy. It is a corrosive, complex account of a refugee family with an incredibly stoic protagonist, Nit...
Ritwik Ghatak was born a rebel. He questioned the ideas and attitudes towards culture and art prevalent at the time.
