Rituparno Ghosh was an iconic filmmaker and one of the finest auteurs to emerge from contemporary Bengal. According to film critics, he is the inheritor of the legendary Satyajit Ray’s legacy, and through his films, rooted firmly in middle-class values, desires, and aspirations, he is highly critical of the interpellations in patriarchal discourses and structures.
