This book is a humble attempt to bring Rituparno Ghosh’s cinematic oeuvre as comprehensively as possible, where he speaks in his own words about the making and reception of his films. All criticism of films by others has been deliberately avoided. Culled sometimes from his own writing, from television talk shows, and from numerous interviews he gave in Bangla and English, both in the audio-visual and print media, these entries, most of them translated from original Bengali for the first time, will help to assess his beliefs and thought-patterns much better and eventually make us understand what a multi-faceted filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh was — an evaluation long overdue after his untimely death in 2013.
