Ritwik Ghatak@100

Komal Gandhar, Ritwik Ghatak’s sublime cinematic attempt is also considered to be one of his “most intellectual” films. This is probably because, Komal Gandhar emanates a different tune, for it is the only film in the trilogy that opens up a utopian avenue of union, while the other two exude the bleakness of separation. Soumalya Chatterjee offers a critical reading of the film and observes how Ghatak searches for his own self in the characters of Bhrigu and Anasuya.
