Rituporno Ghosh remembered as a renaissance man who emerged in a Bengali culture milieu when, Ray died in 1992 leaving a vacuum, seemed difficult to be fill. Bengali cinema was going from a bad time, even the presence of Aparna Sen, Gautam Ghose and Buddhadeb Dasgupta, who tried to carry forward the legacy of Ray and Sen and were unable to reach the vast audiences. Leaving the upper and middle audience to move towards the television, promoting middle-class sentiments from the ‘50s and ‘60s.
Ghosh arrived in the early 1990s, in the milieu of a severely struggling industry, with a persuasive style of storytelling as his forte, and thoughtfully merged the art-house and commercial cinema, reviving the middle-of-the-road genre, preceded by Tapan Sinha, Tarun Majumdar, Ajoy Kar and Basu Chatterjee.
His realistic approach in cinema confined him to the milieu of the upper-middle class. He consciously took enormous risks to create public awareness about sexuality, women sexuality and Parallel sexuality.
Later his films were mostly focused on symbolising his sexual identity crisis. His films like Arekti Premer Golpo (written and acted), Memories in March and Chitrangada, which is written, acted and directed by him. Though the film influenced Tagore's dance drama Chitragada, he was primarily guided by Tagore's philosophy, of "element of divinity", is the infinite nature of man.
His contributions to Bengali cinema and, specifically for Indian queer cinema is massive. His films, in which he acted and or directed, were over-determined by the neo-liberal sexual identity politics. That does not, however, eliminate the radicalism involved in making films on same-sex desires, for this, is one topic that had never found expression in Bengali Cinema until Ghosh took the bold step.
Ghosh’s films arrived at a significant moment in the cultural history of Indian cinema. He made a positive contribution to changing the view of the middle-class bourgeois about women, sexuality and queer sentiments. His cinema and persona for an orthodox social milieu suddenly brought a fresh perspective of discussion and dissection.
Thanks for the films, which will inspire generations and we will enjoy them till eternity.
