Rituparno Ghosh came into filmmaking in 1992 with his experience in advertising. He has been the editor of the glossy Bangla film magazine Anandalok for quite some time. His first film Hirer Angti was made for children. His other films are:

Unishe April (1994), Dahan (1997), Bariwali (1999), Asookh (1999), Utsab (2000), Titli (2002), Chokher Bali (2003), Shuvo Mohurat (2003) and Raincoat (2004).

His films have won quite a few national awards, but internationally they were not well-received, though they were shown in many international film festivals. His films have a popular appeal, and usually are commercially successful.

Three of Rituparno Ghosh's recent films are being shown in this retrospective. The screening schedule is: Shuvo Mohurat at 10:00am, Chokher Bali at 12:30pm, Utsab at 3:00pm and Chokher Bali at 6:30pm.

Chokher Bali is an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's famous eponymous novel set in the British Bengal in the early 1900s which focuses on the British colonisation and the domestic situation of a Kolkata household. 'It is the psychological study of relationships between the sexes in a landed family, of shifting eternal triangles, complex motivations and a subtle play of emotions'.

The film stars Aishwarya Rai in the pivotal role of Binodini, a young widow, who changes everyone whoever comes into her contact.
