Hi Friends,
Death of Rituparna Ghosh will feature among the highlights of this year. What a tragic end of a person who gave so much to cinema and was one of the reasons why cinema was able to bridge gaps over languages. I remember when I saw Raincoat. Even today, it remains Ajay Devgan’s most endearing performance at par with Zakhm. Even Aishwarya will remember it as her best. However, Raincoat is not my favorite Ritu Da film. Though it was the first, but not my favorite. My favorite was The Last Lear.
Ritu Da’s films explored what Ritu Da stood for. The way he portrayed female characters on screen, he reminded me of Bimal Roy. The sensitivity with which he sketched them, made them vulnerable and strong at the same time and remained honest to the cause, it’s something filmmakers of this era lack. We will miss him, for the filmmaker he was… for the person he was.
R.I.P. Ritu Da…
Love,
Sujoy Ghosh
