Then, mum's the word!

Ritwik Ghatak. The name may not mean much to many in this part of the space and time. Born as a son to the District Magistrate of Dhaka in 1925, he died wasted from tuberculosis, a pauper on the street in 1976. For the 51 years in between, he created poetry on celluloid. 

This event is a homage to the life and times of this bohemian genius.

Narrator: Tapan Mozumdar is a storyteller and a short story writer. He was introduced to Ritwik and Satyajit by his eldest maternal uncle at an early age.Ritwik's camera and music keep haunting him and reminding him that cinema, like all art, at the end is poetry. 

He will be hosting the evening with the events from Ghatak's life and clippings of his films
