Movies: Filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh Dies Young At 49!

Rituparno Ghosh
was known for his sensitive portrayal of interpersonal relationships in his
films. Making his directorial debut in 1994 Rituparno never looked back and went
on to make nearly 20 movies in nearly as many years of his career—many
critically acclaimed movies in Bengali, Hindi and in English. Even when he was
not well in recent months he was actively engaged in his production work. He
has a superlative record of winning 12 National Awards for Best Direction, Best
Screenplay and Best Film. His films brought in more National Awards in other
categories involving his artistes and technicians. He chose his actors from Bengal as well as from Bollywood, depending on the exquisitely
well-defined characters in his films. Rituparno also bagged various nominations
to international film festivals and international awards. He also acted in
recent years in controversial roles.

We with a heavy
heart bid adieu to a great filmmaker of India from whom much more exciting
creations were expected. May his noble soul rest in eternal bliss.
