Ace filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, who is known for his unique films, suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away on Thursday morning at 7.30am in Kolkata at the age of 49. He was reportedly suffering from pancreatitis.
Rituparno Ghosh was first acknowledged in the 90’s when he made films in Bengali with strong and sensitive subjects. His recent endeavours were with some Bollywood biggies like Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Ghosh won many national awards and his film Chokher Bali starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Raima Sen was nominated for Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival in 2003.
Rituparno Ghosh was a bold director and did not refrain from touching the otherwise sensitively discussed topic of homosexuality. He played the role of a homosexual filmmaker in Kaushik Ganguly’s ‘‘Arekti Premer Galpo’ and Sanjoy Nag’s ‘Memories in March’. He was one person who never attempted to hide his sexual preferences.

The Spring Film Festival season continues to accelerate with the final leg of the antipodean Bollywood & Beyond Festival which now crosses the Tasman to Auckland, New Zealand from April 14th-21st. Amongst the more well-known movies on display in the rugby capital of the world, we have Paa - the opening night showcase; New York, Dil Bole Hadippa, Love Aaj Kal, Dostana, Ghajini and Three Idiots.
Festival favourite and Oscar entry Harishchandrachi Factory will be showing, together with Rituparno Ghosh's Shob Charitro Kalponik with Bipasha Basu. The magnificent Tamil movie about exploitation and corruption in the dying days of the Raj, Kanchivaram, should also leave a mark on the festival. Starring Prakash Raj and Shriya Reddy, it was probably the most significant movie of last year. Meanwhile, Rajendra Prasad demonstrates his versatility in Mee Sreyobhilashi, possibly the most unusual film ever about suicide and derived from the Japanese film Ikinai.
